Yes - on both counts!
I can use very little PG (causes me breathing problems) so I use a max VG, and my eyes get a little red in the inner corners, plus when I wake up in the morning, it's hard to open my eyes and the right one often stays shut for a minute or two!
Think I'll try the suggested solution of drinking more water ..don't like water much but I'll try it!
My face and the front of my hair can get oily too.
I don't use high VG because it bothers me more than PG does. But, I do get the red, crusty eyes and I drink tons of water. Only makes sense that the vapor can settle on your skin, eyes and hair causing them to be oily or irritated to me. VG is a humectant used in lotions and soaps. Also in food such as cake frosting to keep it moist.
Just had a thought that the oily skin could definitely be from the VG. The "fog" produced on the inside of car windows from vaping, particularly visible in cold weather, has been discussed in other places on ECF. It could possibly be that same "fog" that's settling on your skin.
My eyes are fine in the morning. I drink LOTS of water (around 60-90oz or so a day) and chain vape all day, going through around 12-18ml of liquid a day.

Yes, most likely, and it wipes/rinses off easily enough - just like with windows!
Probably what irritates eyes too.
Wow, I missed that. That is some heavy duty chain vaping. I can see how that could cause problems.
Sounds like you need more water and as for the oily skin and hair. I can't vape much vg or my face breaks out in acne really really bad. It took me months to figure out that it wasn't just quit zits, but the vg causing the oily face.
You are pretty fortunate, then....What about the problems you "don't" speak of...lol
The first few weeks of vaping i noticed this too but it seams to have cleared its self up now. It may have been coincidence that it was as i started vaping or that my body has got used the the change. I may also be drinking more now but i have not been making an effort to drink more.
My eyes have always done this, as I have severe allergies. I don't think I have ever woken up without my eyes matted shut. When I was a child, I used to panic and think I was blind, lol. But really, vaping has had no effect on this either way. My mixes are all more PG than VG, and I only vape 3-5mls per day, though.
Hope you get it figured out, waking up this way is no fun.

Hi All,
I almost choke to death on 100% VG. The reason I received an emphysema diploma.
Not the VG itself, I may have had it for years. But it was the trigger for me to the Pulmo.
I read in this forum that VG was healthier. Then, the contrary.
I use 10% VG to smooth out the harsh hit of PG.
5% Vodka helps too.
Based in my experience, I will not recommend more than 30% VG.
Also consider less than a gallon a day of water, insufficient.
And I only vape 3 or 4 mls. 3.6% Nic.
Be safe. Carlos.
