    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

    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...

    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...

    The vaping obsessed.

    Our 21 year old daughter was driving hubby and I to a restaurant for dinner the other night when from the front seat I heard her exclaim ‘Dad, can ya give it (vaping) a rest. I can't see the road!!!” What looked like a mini cloud had totally enveloped the front of the car. I don't blame her...

    Insane craving for chocolate!

    I know bloody sugar levels go out of whack when you quit smoking cold turkey - (well, I've never quit cold turkey before personally) but I'm two months into vaping fulltime and suddenly I'm going crazy here for chocolate or ANYTHING sweet and it seems to be coinciding with dropping my nic...

    Cutting down nic and lots of wild dreams!

    I thought too much nicotine causes vivid and sometimes bad dreams? I've cut down from 18 mg to 12 and now to 6mg and it's this last reduction that suddenly seems to be causing some changes. I feel irritable but I'm not experiencing strong cravings, which seems weird. I'm waking up a lot...

    Using nicorette gum AND vaping?

    Is this possible? Has anyone else done it? I'm toying with the idea of trying to limit my vaping (side effects with both VG and PG) and also possibly getting myself psychologically used to not being so reliant on the whole hand to mouth thing. Would love to hear from anyone who had had...

    PG/VG neither seems to be working for me?

    This is my experience. Vaping 100% VG at first made me feel fantastic! Clear lungs after all those years of smoking - I was ecstatic! (Just ecstatic to finally quit smoking!) Sense of smell back - wonderful! Feeling like I could walk up hills and not even pant a little - amazing! My...

    Allergy to VG ?

    Due to having what seemed like an allergic reaction after 3 weeks into vaping (rash on face- face flushing/burning, swelling around eyes)I stopped vaping for a week - back to cigarettes :( Yesterday I decided to try again. I vaped VG, NO flavouring (rule that out as a possible allergy...

    Face rash/ allergy now gone.

    Hi, just thought I'd give an update on my situation re the post I put up last Friday in regards to stopping vaping for a while due to a "suspected" allergy. It took four days but slowly the rash faded and turned into really dry skin, the flushing/burning feeling eased as did the headache...

    So upset! I think I have to stop vaping.

    I'm miserable and I feel like I have failed! Tomorrow would mark my fourth week of switching to vaping and being completely tobacco free for the first time in my life! All was going fairly well until five days ago when suddenly I developed flushing/burning/redness in my face which has...

    Anxiety symptoms.

    Here I am stressing out a little about the latest "symptom" that's popped up since I started vaping three weeks ago. Woke up feeling as though I'd undergone botox treatment under and around both eyes. Didn't look nearly as bad as it felt but very disconcerting non the less. I did look a bit...

    Vaping slump? (entering into third week)

    Ok so after the initial elation of being able to not HAVE to smoke cigarettes and feeling subtle improvements to my lung function, rejoicing in not stinking like smoke, being able to vape inside instead of out in the freezing cold....now I've hit a slump. I keep reading comments where people...

    Terrible gas!

    I thought I'd stick this under health and safety as it really IS becoming a health and safety issue in our household. I do remember reading a thread here somewhere on this complaint but I don't remember reading about any resolutions or tips to ease this unpleasantness. Our children are...

    Sore tongue?

    Hi, I've been vaping now for ten days and all of a sudden my tongue is protesting. I've had this in the past - it's a weird thing called geographic tongue. Anyone else ever had it? To be honest my tongue looks awful! I'm guessing that this might be a stress reaction to quitting smoking? I...
