e cigrattes the mist casue acne on face?

[xCamelUser]

Still not sure exactly what caused it but I am now thinking it may have been that I increased my nicotine intake a bit and also was using JC's new formula which I think is a synthetic nicotine (not from tobacco).

Must have just been my body adjusting to the changes, seems to have calmed down a lot now.

I've been noticing it too. Very reason why I'm going to try switching to VG soon. God is my acne terrible right now! D:
Either cystic acne or a staph infection bad! If only the medical center on campus wasn't so far out of the way during finals week...

ive been vaping since Sept and i STILL have terrible acne / cystic boil like stuff

its terrible, painful, just plain gross

thank god im a girl and can use coverup

in the meantime why am i still breaking out...ive never had breakouts like this and it seem like my skin just doesn't want to heal. before if i had a break out it would be one or two and healed in 2-3 days. the ones i have now ive had for over two weeks.

I been vaping for almost 3 months now and have not noticed any phyisical change in my appearence at all, i'm still as ugly as ever but i havent gotten any uglier.

Have to admit that this does make me wonder.

I've been trying to figure out why I've been getting acne lately when I never did before. Eventually I realized it all started around the same time as I started vaping.

Anyhow I figured it was a longshot but googled "e cig acne" and low and behold I find multiple threads on it.

Mind you its not a good enough reason for me to go back to regular cigarettes. I'm quite happy that I switched to vaping.

Still curious as to what exactly would cause this though.

I also am getting boiles on my body after I started vaping.

Just wondering how many of you quit smoking at the same time? As an experiment for the forum(and because I wanted to know what my symptoms were linked to rather then ending up assuming it was because of something I wanted to be doing) I took 3 weeks off between quitting smoking and starting vaping.EDIT my math sucks, it was actually a month, I'm dumb at 4am.END EDIT The first week I was so sick from the antibiotics to get rid of a case of pneumonia(Everyone in vancouver seems to be getting it 3 other friends down with it now) I didn't notice the nic withdrawal so bad, the 2 weeks were rough! I was short of breath, coughing up disgusting phlegm, or just feeling like I had stuff stuck in my throat, continual sore throat/infections(back of my tongue turned totally white and then gross colors!) Dizzy, etc.
It started to go down, then stayed fairly consistent. Vaping reduced it bit more but it's still there. Also I got some breakouts, thankfully only on my face. I'm wondering if the nicotine acted as a continual antibacterial substance in my throat, vaping seems to keep the sore throat more controlled. IMO so many of these symptoms are from quitting smoking.

Where are most of your boils if I may ask.

 

[stevelenti]

Acne when quitting smoking is very common but months after sounds like a allergic reaction to something. I would definitely try some different juice vendors, different nic strengths, more VG to PG, all PG, all VG, maybe even try the organic juice that is out there.

 

[timmy1]

I bought cartomizers for the xhaler from nhaler and I was wondering are they pg or vg based and what is the difference. The reason why I am askking is that I am getting boils on my body so I want to switch to a different type.

 

[Hudsonkm]

Mostly face.

Some on my back.

The ones on my face have been on and off.

Im not entirely sure as Im only now trying to compare but I think when I direct drip it ends up making it worse than vaping from a carto. Still trying to compare.

And yes I quit smoking at the same time that I started vaping.
