My skin is always breaking out and is a major p.i.t.a. already so I wouldn't know the difference if vaping caused more problems. If so, It's probably worth it since I don't stink like an ashtray any more and feel much cleaner...........
p.s. I use Cetaphil too.

Hi Jason,
There are lots of myths about them yes, a bit like this one from your website...
What is the smoke that is released from an electronic cigarette?
When you smoke an electronic cigarette what you inhale is actually water vapor and not smoke.
One of the side effects of an allergy to PG can be a rash of spots. I use glycerine (VG) anyway as that's what I can get relatively easily here.
It's certainly an excellent alternative to PG (loads of vapour) and well worth a try for anyone getting spotty. The thought of getting spots again at my age is to horrible to contemplate!

Stopping with tobacco (or reducing it greatly) causes lots of things you have to go through (cleaning yourself and your body). Bumps and pimples and worse acné does seem to be part of that from what I have understood - just like any allergy you have can get worse the first 6 months or so after stopping smoking tobacco.
If you're talking about folks on this forum, not really. There is a difference between putting it on the skin and inhaling it.
Sorry Jamie, I guess I read the OP the wrong way. Inhaled PG causing a systemic reaction that would cause acne is one thing, but I was thinking that exhaled PG "mist" (2nd hand PG) landing on one's face might be similar to skin contact.
Nothing to be sorry for Jenny, that's a really good point, one I missed. Thanks for adding it to the arsenal!
I picked out a shelter cat for a friend, she named it Jennyanydots... that lovely jellicle cat.
Thats where my name came from! Years ago I tried to get JennyAnyDots (the Jellicle) a screen name for Ebay or something, but it was taken. I shortened it to Jennydotz and it kind of stuck.
i experienced a RIDICULOUS acne breakout last week in my 3rd week of vaping. not sure if it was the quitting smoking or the vaping, but i vamped up my skin care regimen and i'm clear now.
it was very strange though, happy its gone!!

Hi, I've stopped smoking for 10 months now, the same amount of time I've been on the electronic cig.
I have had severe achne the whole time, the only time it has gone away is if I've stopped the electronic cig, when I start again it appears, when i stop again it goes away, when i start again spots apear again.
I use the highest strength wicked liquid. Has anyone got any tips to make them stop whistle continuing to smoke electronic cigs?
Oh yeh, I'm 30 years old now and have not had acne since my teens before this.

Im having the same problem, over the last few weeks it's been worse. Don't remember having acne this bad in my teens.
Other facts:
- It's been 2 months since I quit smoking/started vaping.
- This is now the longest I have been without a cigarette in 15 years.
- I am mainly using JC reduced PG formula, so my juice is both VG & PG.
I have 3 possible ideas:
- My fingers get really oily when filling my cart and dropper bottle for the day. Even after wiping it off, it still feels oily. I have a habbit of touching or scratching my face from time to time.
- The mist from blowing out vapor seems like a culprit also. No scientific evidence here, just my own hunch when I watch the vapor come near my face. (This may just be my own paranoia)
- I am vaping more nicotine than when I started 2 months ago, it's also more than when I was smoking. I am at between 1.5ml and 2ml/day of 24mg where I used to smoke 1 pack/day of regulars.
This is all just my $.02

I have experienced dry skin on my face, if anyone can relate to that? Especially around the nose. I use a natural sponge to take off the dry skin, and a tube of aloe vera gelly.
It just works

I only wanted to mention this info so others would know they are not alone.
Still not sure if it is the lack of tobacco/smoke, the presence of liquid/vapor, or both that cause this. But I do know, it is happening to certain people.
It probably goes away in time, at least that's what I am hoping.
When I searched the forums, I found more info on this over in the Woman's Room but I am not allowed to post in there...

Quitting analogs can certainly make you break out because of the detoxification and hormonal changes the body goes through. It should be temporary, but I don't know how long it lasts on average.
That sounds more like a lack of nicotine!
