e-cig user for 6+months, come across a problem now though, need advice

[Laggymclag]

by far the longest i been without a cig, when i started i actually prefered to cigs. last month or so however my mouth has been getting burnt(well super dried/sore is probably more apt). has your effectively breathing in steam this shouldn't be a surprise which indeed it isnt but it is a hurdle as my gums and roof of mouth is very sore making eating a problem.
Has anyone else had simular problem after long term use and if so has anyone found a way to counter it?
its also starting to effect my throat which if worsens could force me to get back onto cigs which i really dont want.
if anyone has any advice please do share.
p.s. using a tornado tank dunno if that may be relevant or not

It sounds like you are not drinking enough water. That is really important.
Or you have become sensitive to PG.

Have you switched liquids lately? Maybe something in a new liquid?

I agree with Amraann that it sounds like you need to increase the amount of water that you're drinking. Both PG and VG are hygroscopic, meaning that they attract moisture and pull it away from the inside of your mouth and throat. I don't know if they have this in Wales, but you can try using Biotene mouthwash. If the sensitivity of your teeth and gums continues, then you should go see a dentist to make sure that there isn't something else going on.

Hi Laggy !


Welcome to ECF !!


The steam/vapor actually removes moisture from your body....agree with above....increase your water intake. Hope this helps you !

thanks for advice all, i do drink fair bit in a day and started couple weeks ago having 3 drags then having a drink to keep moisture up and stop atomiser from getting too hot. not done much yet but will keep at it, thanks again

I had the same problem as you a few months back. I changed three things, which each helped in their own little way:

1. drank more water (especially when I was vaping) - that really did the most good
2. lowered the nic in my juice - this alleviated a little of the 'nic burn'
3. tried diff attys for certain juices - hotter attys made some juices taste better, but I paid the price with more "harshness"
higher res. attys seemed to help quite a bit on some juices, above and beyond #1 and #2.

There are alot of things you can try. Dunno if you are one that flavor-hops alot, but certain juices to me can cause irritation "more-faster" than others.

Good luck!
