I've always had stress problems, so unfortunately my skin would break out once in a while. When I quit it was pretty bad, but it's slowly getting better. My skin feels SO much better now that I quit, though, so they're disappearing quickly!
quit zits? did you get them? how long?

Never had zits, even during puberty. Got em the first few months of my quitting..maybe 1-2 months. Keeping your skin clear and as oil free as possible is probably the best way to avoid em. Tough luck for me, Italians tend towards oily skin.

Ain't that the truth! Mine are just now starting to really clear up after 4 months of serious breakouts. I'm still getting them but not nearly as bad.
Man, I started vaping on Oct. 5, 2010. After two weeks, zits started to appear around my lips! It's so gross. I am still having problems, I scrub around my lips real good daily, first with a clean wash rag, with soap and water, then I put some hand sanitizer on the dry end of the wash rag and scrub with that. I've been doing that treatment for the couple weeks and still having problems. I don't want my wife kissing me when I have them... it's so embarrassing and disgusting. I'm seeing my doctor on the 23rd to see if anything can be done. Uhg.
Oh for the love of Christopher - if it's not the zits, its the flippin hot flashes. If it's not that, it's the taste buds or running to the bathroom every 5 seconds from drinking so much water.
I wonder if I entered my second childhood?

Ugh...mine kinda came back again starting over the weekend. Not bad as I don't usually get these things...but still there.

I literally haven't had a break from these zits since I quit smoking. I've never had more than two on my face at a time, even through puberty, until now. It's only mildly irritating.. they just wont go away. I had a pretty bad staph infection in my nose about 3 weeks after I quit smoking, and I'm wondering if that would explain it... a lingering infection that's invaded my skin. Hard to tell without seeing a doctor, and I'm not seeing a doc over zits as I have no health insurance.
The acne treatment I've been using (5% Benzoyl Peroxide) has definitely helped -- I don't think I've had (many, if any) new zits forming, and I've cut back on it a bit because my skin gets dry very quickly. I've had super dry, sensitive skin my whole life.
As far as the juice I'm using, I stick mainly with 50/50 pg/vg or 60/40. I've had different juices and used different levels since I started vaping, with little real difference that I could tell.
So I don't know if these are just the 3+ month quit zits and my body is STILL detoxing, or what. I'm sorry so many of you are battling these as well - it sucks! But at least I know I'm not the ONLY one battling them. That's a small comfort I suppose.

I wanted to follow up on this... As of mid-February I was dealing with the quit zits (4 months vaping and smoke free).
As of mid-March, my skin was back to normal.
Also around this time I moved from a very high-stress living situation, constantly using acne treatments and showering in water where you could smell the chlorine (Gotta love Cali). Once I moved to a stable living situation, stopped using harsh acne treatments, and went back to water that my skin is used to, I cleared up IMMEDIATELY.
There is hope..

I am a little over 1 month into vapeing and I have been breaking out too. I thought it was just me but I guess it can be tied to something
Hubby has MAJOR QUITZITS. All over his chest, back and now, his face. We have been vaping just over 2 months. I think I coughed all (or most) of my toxins up. He NEVER coughed, even when I was at 1 ppd and he was at 2 ppd. It's coming out now. I feel so bad for him. Any suggestions as to how to speed up this process? He feels miserable.
i have a suggestion but it might be far worse than the zits for some... Eat very healthy, not diet food but real fruit and vegetables, unprocessed foods and meats and lots of water.There are also natural respiratory cleanses that include vaping easily attainable herbs such as basil. yup, vaping for health. i dig it. just my opinion.
