I was wondering if anybody has experienced any backache pains or other pains after smoking a while?
It could be just me being paranoid lol

Entirely Correct TB....what he says is true and factually correct....if you're experiencing more pains than usual than it can be related to PG effect(conversion ) to lactic acid....use less on the device and the pain will go away..without painkillers...TropicalBob said:You joint pains might well be from e-smoking. Propylene glycol is the carrier for the nicotine in our solutions; it's 80% of the e-liquid. In the lungs, the PG breaks down to lactic acid, which the body absorbs and ultimately eliminates in your urine. But lactic acid is the same stuff that sore muscles produce. It can cause leg cramps, for sure, and might be the cause of your joint pain.
The dry throat is very common and is definitely caused by PG. PG is a humectant, meaning it draws moisture to itself. Put it on your skin and it takes moisture from the air, making for softer skin. If the air is dry, however, it draws moisture from the skin. That's happening in your throat as you sleep. You've coated it with PG and the air conditioned air you're sucking in with each snore is drier than the throat surface. Moisture moves OUT of your throat, courtesy of the PG. You awaken with a dry, sore throat.
Drink fluid before you go to bed. Drink as much fluid as you can during the day. Gargle before going to bed if that's your habit. Clean the PG out of your throat and see if you don't wake up with a normal -- yuck! -- morning mouth.

Back from the doctor: He says my shoulder-arm pain is likely bursitis. I can see a specialist if I bring big bags of money, or I can take pain killers. I'll take pain killers and do moderate exercise.
His real excitement, however, was that I've been off cigarettes for almost 14 months. I've not inhaled one lung full of tobacco smoke in that time. I showed him my Janty Kissbox and a minicigarette model and explained e-smoking and the liquid contents. I showed him the snus I use, the Stonewall dissolvable tobacco pieces and the pipe I carry with me.
Nothing phased him. "These are a million times safer than cigarette smoking," he said with a wave of his hand over my stuff. "But nicotine ...", I began. "It's smoking that's the big problem," he answered. I told him I likely use more nicotine now than I did when smoking 30 cigarettes a day. It didn't phase him. Cigarette smoking is the killer, not nicotine.
So I exited a happy e-camper. Next week come blood tests to make sure my cholesterol and lipids are in order. I asked for a blood PH check, so I can measure if lactic acid is building up in my bloodstream. That will be done with the other tests.
All in all .. a good morning for e-smoking.
