Help! My new "convertee" says lips and teeth feel weird

[nocturn4l3030]

Okay my first convertee said he might quit vaping because his teeth and lips "feel weird"

talking to him through text right now and i asked him to elaborate and he says it feels "like there's a coating on my teeth and lip". asked him if it hurts and he says his "lip feels kindy numbish" and "teeth feels like its slick"

is this a side effect to VG or PG? or side effect to quitting cigarettes? i really dont want to lose him! lol

oh and he's been drinking alot of water too

Does he brush his teeth?

mmm he comes off as a very "manly" type if you know what i mean =) so i'm not sure tbh and don't want to ask >.<

The numb feeling on his lips is probably from a tiny bit of juice getting on them. Just have them take a paper towel and wipe out out whatever is on/in the tip of the carto/atty. As far as the "Slick" feeling on the teeth, I have no clue on that one.

Is your friend drinking enough water? Dehydration can leave the teeth and gums feeling like they have a coating on them. I also suggest using mouthwash to help get rid of that feeling.

I think my mouth feels cleaner since I quit smoking, but maybe that's just me.

Mine does too.

But I definitely think your friend just needs to brush his teeth, twice a day. And, use mouthwash too!

To salvage his manly eGo, you should tell him how awesome the juice tastes just after brushing your teeth (which it does, in my opinion), and maybe he'll notice his infirmary gone on his own. Also, Darth has a good point on the numbness as being subjected to straight nic-liquid. Once again, brushing the teeth will solve this as well

Could be PG sensitivity. I had an allergic reaction to allergy pills (ironic, no?) that manifested as a very strange feeling in my teeth. It wasn't pain per se, but man it was not pleasant.

I agree wholeheartedly on both counts here, I actually brush my teeth three times a day now instead of twice just for the simple fact that the juice tastes all that much better right afterwords.

Maybe suggest Dentine. Cleans teeth and refreshes, and might kill two birds with one stone gum.

thanks for the responses everyone! he can't pick up the phone at the moment.. but i texted if it's just a coating.. or does it feel uncomfortable (i was jus gonna yell at him to brush his darn teeth >.<), and he says it feels uncomfortable, so you may be right it's a PG sensitivity.

for anyone else that has a PG sensitivity.. is 100% vg the only way to go? or are there certain percentages of PG that your teeth can tolerate?

okay researching the PG and teeth sensitivity and that seems to be it.. though i won't rule out the water thing. gonna have him experiment with 100% vg juice. thx once again everyone. love the quick responses as i'm on the cell so the researching is kinda slow, so figured posting would be faster

He's gonna go back to smoking cigarettes just because his lips and teeth feel weird?
My gums have been bugging me a lot since I switched to vaping but It's not going to make go back to the analogs. I just need to start taking better care of my teeth and gums after all those years of smoking.

Are you sure he didn't some how get juice on his lips and gums? That might be what happened since they might have gotten numb from contact with some nic.

...drink more water...brush more often...getting juice in mouth and finally...detoxing from funkarettes!!!!!!!!!!!!

p.s. but, wahddahino, only been vaping for 10daze................mj

last night i told him to use nothing but bobas bounty and gorilla juice for now..as thats the only 100% VG juice i gave him...will check up on him to see if its any better. it could be the whole gum bleeding thing, i guess we'll see

im really hoping its not a PG sensitivity because damn...that would eliminate so many good juices out there! and the one hes been using from the beginning has been a 50/50 blend
