Cinammon liquid hurting my gums and mouth?? Dentist had comments

[JasonK94Z]

I have been vaping Hot Cinammon ejuice from High caliber for about 2 months straight now. I went to the dentist yesterday and they noticed some odd things inside my mouth. First, I am having issues with my gums on one side of my mouth becoming inflamed and irritated. Second, they noticed that in between my gums and my cheek on one side that there are white spots that look like I burned my mouth. I never said anything about vaping to them just because I'm so tired of having to explain what it is, etc to people. I just acted dumb to the whole issue and carried on while wondering if its this cinnamon i love so dearly.

Could this all be from the cinnamon?

Is the side of your mouth that is in having issues the same side in which you draw from your vape? They say cinnamon can crack tanks so I suppose it's possible. What ratio of PG are you vaping?

Definitely on the side of the mouth that I draw on. Now that you mention it, I was suspect of this and switch to the left side. this morning the gums on the upper side over there are starting to bother me. Definitely this cinnamon juice.

cinnamon is a spice hence some spices tend to be corrosive like citrus , used for cooking and recipies of course cinnamon
is used in low quanities , you ever see on you tube people doing that cinnamon challenge where they put a spoon full in their mouths and it burns and they gag on it ? ,,,,,, there ya go that's why they call it challenge cause it burns , guarantee you watch them do that challenge 1 time you wont use that juice anymore ....... that's prob whats happening to you the cinnamon is burning your mouth

Cinnamon is antibacterial and antiviral. Now when vaporized, it may cause adverse reactions. Not to mention it's also irritating if you get to much as the previous poster stated. I think last week that was research article that stated a cinnamon bun flavor tested was actually cytotoxic. Personally, I've decided to stay away from cinnamon or any flavors that shown to have adverse health effects from peer reviewed research. Meta-analysis anybody?

Second on irritation from cinnamon, especially strong. I have a cinnamon roll from Darkest Day Vapor that is nice, mellow and hasn't caused me any issues. The cinnamon-menthol from Totally Wicked I can only use in small amounts though. Good luck and have fun!

My advice.

Switch flavors.

There are a Zillion of them, i am sure you can find one other flavor you like.

 

[WillyZee]

try something other than Cinnamon ... telling your dentist would have been wise.

hope things clear up soon for you

I use Hot Cinnamon from Vermillion River and I've never had any issues but you might be especially sensitive to cinnamon. Or, it might just be the brand of juice you use.

Yes.

The white "burn" marks are called canker sores.
Cinnamon flavors, acidic foods, or biting the inside of your cheek can cause them.

It has even been known for cinnamon flavored toothpaste to lead to canker sore outbreaks.

Imagine what the inside of your lungs look like! Ive heard the same things about cinnamon being corrosive to non glass tanks. Switch or at least cut back to a couple of times a week.

telling your dentist would have been wise.

Not when insurance companies are saying vaping is equivalent to smoking and any record of vaping can lead to you being denied coverage. Perhaps I am paranoid but the stakes can be high.

hey guy.. I get alot of problems from different food and such.. in my mouth like white spots and other issues., I found switch my toothpaste, and I also use baking soda and salt to brush them every once in a while, and salt and hot water for the and swishing it in your mouth , will help with your canker sores.. I hopes this helps..

Very possible. I recently had an e-liquid that caused my gums to bleed. I switched off of it and it cleared up right away. I have some food allergies so I figured it might have something to do with that.

I also took to carrying a travel sized bottle of mouthwash with me to use at work. Just in case it happens with another flavor.

Yup, hot cinnamon does that to my mouth, too. I got a swollen bottom lip on the side I vape. It went away after I used a different flavor, returned when I vaped the cinnamon all day again. I can use it now and then, but not a bunch at a time. I tried 3 different kinds and had the same results.

My dentist and periodontist are both fine with vaping. They're really glad I'm quit smoking! Thrilled.

I would like to also add that cinnamon flavored e-liquids have been causing me problems.

Unfortunately for me, out of the 40+ flavors I have tried, Cinnamon Sugar is my favorite.

Cinnamon Sugar flavored e-liquid RUINED my pro tank. The kanger pro tank was marketed as a BCC that was pyrex, and meant to be used with juices that you couldn't use in polycarb plastic tanks. This is untrue. The cinnamon unfortunately MELTS the glue in the Pro tank, causing it to fall apart rather quickly. This has happened to me and MANY others. This is why Kanger actually updated their pro tank ONE (pt1) to be glue-free, because the cinnamon and perhaps other flavors were melting the glue.

If the cinnamon is melting the glue in a pro tank, imagine what else it might be doing to YOU. Of course, some will say that melting the glue is a chemical reaction, and our body tissue shouldn't be affected. While I understand that concept, that doesn't negate the possibility that cinnamon can cause irritation, and possibly worse issues.

Yes, all I have vaped for the past 3 weeks has pretty much been cinnamon sugar, but unfortunately, I'm going to have to find another e-liquid I enjoy for my ADV.

Ironically, I never would have thought I would have liked a cinnamon flavored e-liquid. I can't remember the last time I had ANY food product with ANY cinnamon taste/flavoring in it. I don't really like cinnamon. However, cinnamon sugar e-liquid has been my FAVORITE. I actually got it as a free sample, and fell in love instantly.

For some reason, the e-liquid flavors I thought I'd LOVE, I ended up not liking....and the ones I NEVER would have imagined liking, I fell in love with. Very weird.

Thanks for the replies everyone! I'm getting something else to vape for awhile. Im sure my problems will go away once off cinnamon. I hope!
