chapped lips ... suggest a drip tip pls.

[mundane24]

read all i could about all the side effects of quitting analogs and im trying my best (starting now) to counter all of them or at least minimize the damage. from drinking lots of water to having balms applied all the time. im in my 3rd week of vaping and indeed im encountering some of the side effects. one of them is having this nasty chapped lips. arghhh! ive read other posts about this and saw that maybe changing pg to vg ratio might help but ive also read about changing drip tip to a nonmetallic one.

hmmm so what other drip tips could i try? better yet, if one had success eliminating chapped lips by just changing their tips, i'd like to hear your story and suggest what tip worked for you. thanks in advance!

setup: 50pg/50vg on a cartotank with stainless steel ming drip tip

*my next juice orders, if this chapping doesn't subside in the few days even after drinking plenty of water and applying balms/chapsticks, would be higher vg content, if not 100%.

** be back later. hope to see some suggestions (preferably with links) here later.

I am going to be honest with you until I got my protank the other day I had not used a metal drip tip at all and I have had horrible chapped lips since I went over to vaping nearly a month ago. So I am not sure the driptip make much of a difference.

For the chapping the fastest most effective balm I have found is the Bliztex Complete Moisture one (Its the dark blue tube).

Make sure you're drinking enough water too.

Put a little bit of your balm (or other moisturizer) on the drip tip. Just don't let others try it, otherwise they'll think you're gross.

I went thru this. I just used a soft rubber tip for a while. Helped...but lip balm helped more.

i live in texas where the weather changes from hour to hour and my lips stay chapped all year even with analogs got my new pro tank in tuesday with the metal drip tip never used one before but now no chapped lips completely gone in three days its amazing. but for best results i would recomend herbal chapped stick a little more pricey but alot better results. hope ur lips get better nothing worse than chapped lips.

I think that chapped lips is maybe one of the hassles some people have when they start vaping instead of smoking. I've read lots of people complaining of the same problem. I had sores and chapped lips for a few weeks, then it went away, all on its' lonesome. But maybe try using the oil in Vit E capsules - you need to ..... them and squeeze out some oil - spread on your lips, lightly. It worked wonders for nappy rash, and a skin eruption my partner had (it was really raw and painful, and in 2 days it was nearly gone!). I don't promise you that it'll work, but it might do, and if it's really bugging you, it's maybe worth a try
Good luck with the change to Vaping, and hope it gets better soon. It usually seems to, but don't ask me why

i have used this 'blistex complete moisture' for a couple of days now and my chapped lips seem to feel much better - almost all healed up. =) thanks!

lip balm application will now be part of my daily routine i guess. ...and i feel sexy! lolz

SO very glad it helped

Best thing to do is clean your tips daily, the juice buildup/condensation in the tip will get onto your lips and dry them out if you don't clean them regularily.

Ive found that using metal drip tips chaps me pretry bad so I stick to delrin, also keep a tube of ChapStick in my Vape case

Drink more water, that's where the problem starts.

 

[SteamDaddy]

delrin or non metallic and clean constantly with alcohol

 

[VidGamrJ]

I'd have to agree with the drink more water part. After quitting smoking I had dry lips and was just thirsty all the time. It lasted maybe a month or two and then I didn't have the problem anymore.
