I had same problem. I switched to 100% VG. They went away and havent had one since. Also I used Colgate Peroxyl Antiseptic Oral Cleanser to help get rid of em. Damn things hurt. I cant be completely sure it was the PG,but once I went 100% VG only.....
When you vape your mouth and upper airways are what absorbs the nicotine. it started to make my gums sore. I have up'd my water intake while i use my passthrough, because i vape more with it. Also i use listerine mouth wash alot more to help the dental hygiene. i noticed that helped me alot, instead of letting the nicotine just sit in my mouth.
There are a few things to consider. Were you ok before switching to the menthol? Have you recently gone through a stressful period (including quitting smoking! LOL). That can cause them as well as other things.
If you didn't have them until the switch... the new liquid could have an ingredient that you are having an allergic reaction to. Go back to the liquid that wasn't bothering you for a while to see if it eases.
Here is a thread with some other folks and their experience with mouth sores. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/new-members-forum/27971-sore-spots-my-mouth.html
In the mean time, you can try rinsing your mouth four times a day with a mixture of two ounces of hydrogen peroxide and two ounces of water or a combination of four ounces of water mixed with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of baking soda. Swish the mixture in your mouth for about a minute and then spit it out do not swallow it.
Another good over the counter medication for mouth problems is carbamide peroxide (a combination of peroxide and glycerin) that cleans and coats the sore to protect it. I have always used Gly-Oxide for various mouth issues and find it to work well. Ask your pharmacist or doctor.

I had those darn things! At one time I had 11 (ELEVEN) in my mouth at the same time! I got them every 6-8 weeks when I quit smoking. First I blamed the commit lozenges and quit using them. Next I blamed vaping-quit vaping, still got them. Then I blamed the snus (wasn't gonna quit THAT tho!) I saw my dr about it and he referred me to my dentist. I saw my dentist about and he didn't really have any answers. Then when I went back to the dentist clinic for a followup a few weeks later his hygenist approached me and told me that she had been to a conference recently and that topic came up. What they were told is that MANY people, when they quit smoking, get canker sores off and on for quite a long time. Sometimes six months to a year. The only thing that can be done is manage the pain until they go away, which they will eventually. They were told this was just something some people go through when they quit smoking.
I only got them when I increased my VG/PG to 50-50. When I went back to my old 80%PG 20%VG mix they went away and never came back.
