Problem- Area behind rear molars where wisdom teeth once resided are swollen, raw and sore, rear roof of mouth directly in front of uvula feels the same, mild tongue swelling.

Noticed/started- 3 days ago.
Equipment- Received a clearomizer 3 days ago, has a top coil with rich warm vapor, indulged generously on PG RY-4.
Other equipment- 510 manual kit, E-9 auto Kit, Ego lcd 650, Boge revolution v2.2.
Time vaping- @14 days
Blends- mostly PG, some VG, candy and tobacco flavors, no cinnamon or spice, 18 to 24mg nic levels.
Allergy/reaction- No rash, no lung problems, no throat irritation, some dry mouth and lethargy.

Possible causes-
-Clearomizer's massive warm output causing tissue damage in mouth.
-Excessive suckling, sucking like a hoover to get strong vapes causing a "hickey" effect in mouth.
-Sensitivity to PG

Steps taken for correction
-Relax draw, reduce clearomizer usage.
-Switch to Biotene toothpaste.
-Keep liquids on hand while vaping to cleanse palette.
-Ditch any auto equipment that requires a hard draw



Based on this breakdown, am I taking the proper steps?, is there anything that I am missing?.

Add dehydration to that list. Are you drinking enough water? Also, I thought quitting cigarettes did something to the gums like allowing more blood flow. This could be related. When I first started vaping/quit smoking a few weeks ago I had bleeding gums when I would brush. I started drinking more water and the problem has been solved since.

You may want to make sure you're cleaning your cartos and not touching them with dirty hands, too. Just my thoughts.

Issues with bleeding gums/mouth sores are very common detox symptoms from tobacco usage, so that might be something to consider. I tend to alternate PVs with different intake methods (for instance, I've got a clearomizer, a tank-carto setup, and an ego-T tank prepped with juice right now) during "marathon" vaping sessions, which might also help clear up some of your problem if you're experiencing a desire to suck hard on clearomizers. (My experience is similar -- but a lighter draw is your best bet with those!)

Something else to consider: if you're using the higher nic levels at night, you may be grinding your teeth -- it's not uncommon for higher nic levels to cause that. I know this is a problem for me personally (it always has been), and that can also cause inflammation of the gums and soreness around your teeth.

I'm not a medical doctor or a dentist, and I will advise that if you have any worsening of the symptoms, and/or you are concerned, you head in and visit your doc/dentist and get some advice. But in the meantime, brush often, realize that there are some detox symptoms (like mouth ulcers/bleeding gums) that can last for a while after quitting analogs, drink tons of water, and possibly consider switching up your PG and VG ratios or the types of PV or carto a bit to ease any individual type of intake.

while I am sure there a portions of this that can be attributed to your actual use of liquids and e-cig equipment there is a strong likelihood that there was already a pre-existing colony of bacteria residing beneath your gums around the rear molars.

The signs and symptoms of gum disease aren't always noticeable and the rear molars are most susceptible as they are the most difficult to keep clean.

Best bet would be to schedule a visit to your dental hygienist to get a good cleaning.


p.s. My periodontist has always stated that my gum disease was caused or worsened by smoking. As such his #1 recommendation has always been to quit smoking.
