I started to get earaches on a regular basis after I began smoking. I just started vaping again (yes I did it once a while back then went back to smoking.) I still have gotten an earache and I was wondering if this is a problem anyone else has had and if so do the earaches go away or does the vapor still cause them? Thanks!
Earaches From Smoking

Hello and welcome.
Do you suffer from tmj? I ask because of the movements in the muscles used to smoke and vape are similar. May have nothing to do with the devices at all, just the way you use your muscles to draw in that smoke or vapor. I too suffer from tmj and you know that the pain is blinding sometimes. Just a thought. If it doesn't fit or sound like you, then throw the idea away. No harm, no foul..

I haven't talked to my doctor about it, not bad enough of a problem to be worth paying the money for another appt again this month. I've been having a few health issues, hence the switch back to vaping. I don't know much about tmj so I have no idea if I have it. The earaches used to be really bad though, but the worst ones only happened a couple of times not lasting SUPER long. Thank you for the info though! I will do some research
The only time I had ear aches were when I had a bacterial infection in my ear.
I doubt your liquid or vaping is causing this, because PG and VG don't allow bacteria to propagate, nicotine is naturally antiseptic and vaporizing on a glowing coil pretty much kills anything that might have survived far enough on the wick.
You really don't want medical advice from a bunch of e-cig amateurs and hobbyists, do you?

Haha, no I don't want medical advice, I am just curious if the earaches have ever been a problem for anyone in relation to smoking. I don't need medical advice.
It could be totally unrelated to smoking or vaping... your doctor should have the best advice for you...
I don't know if this is related, but I actually feel like I hear better since I quit cigs.
This never happened to me either smoking or vaping. IMO, it's an underlying issue that the sucking action is bringing out. Might be great motivation to quit both smoking and vaping 
It's possible it could be related to a salivary stone. Try googling that and see if it could fit.
If your earaches are recurring, I strongly urge you to see a specialist asap. Untreated, ear problems, whatever the cause, can lead to loss of hearing.

Quit vaping?? lmao, yeah right! Haha thanks for the reply
LOL, well, I guess it all depends on how much pain you're in.
When I read your first post I thought of the Smith and Dale skit that has this in it somewhere:
SMITH: Doctor, it hurts when I do this.
DALE: Don't do that.
I think if there were any physiological mechanism whereby vaping caused earaches, we'd have already heard about it in the news (given how the ANTZ jump on any reported adverse reaction to ecigs and shout it to every media outlet they can) or at the very least here on ECF.
Be that as it may, I repeat my earlier advice to OP: see a specialist! A family member had recurring "earaches," refused to see them as a problem and refused to get medical advice or treatment. Five years later, she had lost 95% of her hearing in that ear.
