Water-Water-Water.
You can't drink enough water when quitting smoking--let alone when vaping. Combine the two and you will need a half gallon to a gallon a day to flush out the toxins from years of burning tobacco and to rehydrate your body.
My husband was doing great giving up the analogs. Six weeks later (four cig. free), he's complaining about his nose drying out so much it bleeds and is scabbed over inside and his throat hurts/dry/rasp. Anybody else experience these symptoms? Is it too high nicotine, not enough water, the PG is messing with him, gunk is getting cleaned out of his system? I'm just not sure what to do for him, but he's threatening to go back to analogs because of how he's feeling. He's using Aspire ego batteries with clearomizers, 50/50 ejuice with 12/18mg. He really likes vaping, and I hate for him to go back to those stupid cigarettes.
Does he vape custard flavors?
Try to find Ayr Nasal gel at walgreens.
My husband,mother and I all started vaping in NOV. 2013 In the midwest....house closed up and furnace on... DRY...
I don't think the scab in my nose healed until almost the end of the next summer....I KNOW....too much information!!
My husband had nose bleeds and my mother never had any issues at all.
We were prepared this year when the furnace went on. ....AYR saline gel....it really helped...I don't remember who suggested it but it was on this forum.
Good luck![]()
I had the same thing in my nose and sinuses when i vaped 90% PG for a week; inside was rough and scabbed over, felt burned, also my throat, and I got a lot of nosebleeds before that healed. If he is particularly sensitive to PG, I'm sure it could do the same thing at a much lower percentage.
More water, saline nasal spray, tissues with lotion in them, and less PG in the vape, should fix it within a week or 2. It takes a while to heal.

I forgot to add, raw organic extra virgin coconut oil works wonders up the nose, I use it daily with great results.![]()
An Innokin iTaste 16 would likely give a much better quality vapor, and cheap to try.
Not impressed at all with aspire as they tend to just turn the liquid to a mist not a good quality vapor. I quit hacking after I quit using my nautilus.
Also possible allergy to the eliquid is something to consider.
Thanks for all the replies. I encouraged more water, bought him saline nose spray and gel. I'm going to tell him to dab his nose with a little cold pressed virgin coconut oil. We just got some 65 VG/35 PG ejuice started using yesterday. There has also been a ton of pollen in the air (San Antonio is notorious for kicking up allergies), so that might be causing more problems. Get Your Jollies is his flavor of choice at the moment, but he wasn't having any problems with Green Apple. So I'm going to order Green Apple, 6 mg. nic (in case the higher nic. is giving him problems) and 85% PG. Good thing I love him, because researching this has taken a lot of time. But it's great to have him off those darn cigarettes. This forum rocks, BTW. Everyone is so helpful. Cheers to all.

No, no custard. All fruit flavors. I'm thinking it's the PG.He was vaping 50/50. I just ordered some 65/35. I'll go higher VG if that doesn't work.
