    Thrush from e liquid

    From what I understand propylene glycol can cause dryness in the mouth. Perhaps more for some than others. If your mouth becomes consistently dry this can create an environment in the mouth where bacteria can become out of balance, therefore the likelihood of developing oral thrush is increased...

    Irritated lips.

    Thanks guys/gals. I suspect it is the nicotine somehow getting on my lips. I'm experimenting with vaping 0 nic (OMG!) :) Actually surprisingly I don't feel the need to chew my arms, or anybody elses off....but I'm kind of alternating throughout the day...Zero for a while and then 12 mg for a...

    Irritated lips.

    Hi. I've been vaping for nearly a year now. Had loads of mouth and tongue problems initially but for the most part they seem to have resolved themselves. Now I'm getting irritations to the inside of my lips. Mainly in the middle of my top lip, just inside - not on the outside of my lip. Exactly...

    Really dry eyes

    Thanks everyone. My thyroid issues happened shortly before I started vaping so for me I don't see any connection with that and vaping. The hyperthyroidism bout resolved itself. My doctor seems to think that now I might be going hyPO. (apparently common after a hyper episode) I'm going for...

    Really dry eyes

    Cyberpixie -I'm going to check with my doctor to see about Sjogrens. Dave, no,my blood sugar levels always come back completely normal. The only thing I've had is a bout of hyperthyroidism - lost a tonne of weight very quickly and now since vaping I've gained about 7 kilo's. I keep telling my...

    Really dry eyes

    Hi, I've been vaping for six months now but about 2 months ago I started getting one really bloodshot eye. Wasn't sore or irritated at first - I was just annoyed by how red it looked. It soon began to irritate me at night though - feeling scratchy and slightly sore. Finally went to the doctor...

    blood changes color

    I dunno....Blood when collected in a vial always looks a dark colour. Doesn't look 'red". When you stub your toe and bleed it's in a lesser concentration and will naturally appear as the normal red colour blood is.

    The big test!

    Ah yes Justaguy. The barrier reef WOULD be nice and we'll get there one day, but I tell a lie... I really DO love the outback :) There's just something about it. The quirky little towns, the oddball characters out there...even the nothingness, the quiet and the ancient-ness of the landscape...

    The big test!

    No they're not are they. Next time I'll tell hubby to take me somewhere where I can sit pool side sipping a cocktail with a little umbrella in it and puff gentle clouds of vapour into a tropical sunset. Ahh, that would be the life!

    The big test!

    "Dh's bloody great big grip thingy is not such an issue...." I suppose when in the desert size does matter, but shhhhhh! Don't tell him I said that.

    The big test!

    ""the dingo stole my PV!"!!" I'm a songwriter and that would make for a darn good song if it weren't such a terrifying thought. They steal your thongs ya know. (the flip flop kind you wear on your feet.) Maybe I'll take the metal detector. Dh's bloody great big grip thingy is not such an...

    The big test!

    As of this coming Sunday we're leaving on a 5000km road/camping trip to the Aussie outback. When I say remote, I mean complete nothingness remote. It will be the first time that dh and I will be vaping on such a trip. Not only is the car our ultimate lifeline anyway, but geez......the new...

    Itchy Skin, Rashes: PG Allergy

    Sammy, I don't know about the nickel. You'd probably have to ask some of the more knowledgeable technically minded menfolk around here or else contact the place where you got yours from and ask about exactly what is in the workings of your particular PV.

    Welcome to the Women's Room! Say Hi!

    Hello! Finally found my way here. Trying to get away from all the modding and technical "man talk". Hmm, then again maybe some of the ladies here are into that, lol!

    Itchy Skin, Rashes: PG Allergy

    One more thing to try - if you can rule out the nickel thing. I know it's SO unsatisfying but why don't you try vaping with no flavour whatsoever. Maybe take a bit of a break to let your body settle down and try unflavoured and see what happens. I'm so sorry for ya. It's incredibly...

    Insane craving for chocolate!

    Thanks! No chance of pregnancy and I'm 43. All my life I've tended to go dizzy/shaky and feel sick if I don't eat but nothing has ever shown up on tests. I do see a correlation though between my cravings and times when I get a bit slack and don't make myself lunch. I really just have to...

    Vaping purse for dudes

    When my husband bought his "man bag" I thought oh great! Now *I* won't have to carry everything in my handbag! He just gives it to me to put inside mine !

    Dumbest Thing You've Done with your E-cig

    I pointed my ego at the TV, pressed the button and wondered why the channel didn't change. I've cupped my hand around my PV in the wind.

    Rivas, Reos and camping.

    We're going camping soon to the outback...but at least we'll have the car with the second battery to charge things, but YIKES I'm getting nervous at the thought. I read about the explosion of bush rat populations in parts out there due to all the rain....said to chew through cars electrical...
