Hullo everyone. I'm a noob.

So, I've been lurking for a while here. I'm quite good at lurking.
I started when my best friend started vaping early December when her family all bought the standard eGo kits from a local vape shop. We starting talking about it and I gave it a shot. I've been vaping and not smoking analogs since maybe three days after Christmas.
Now the obsession has started. I have more flavors than I know what to do with. I started off with crap liquid from this local shop and have now started ordering online. I'm having a not so great reaction to PG, and after ordering a 70/30 vg-distilled water blend I'm in looove and my swollen throat has quit.
Now I'm down from 18mg nic to 12!
So... sorry for the long-ish intro.

Strange questions, but does anyone else get really sensitive teeth? I find with a couple flavors my teeth are incredibly sore and sensitive. Does anyone else have this issue?

Welcome to the forum. We have quite a few professional lurkers who finally come and say hello. Glad you are having good luck with vaping. I'm pretty new, but haven't looked back since I got started. I'm amazed at how great I feel to not be smoking.

About the teeth sensitivity - haven't had any problems like that myself.

Welcome and congrats on quitting the analogs! We quit right around the same time so wooo! haha. I hear you about having too many flavors, because I still think I'm in the "early" stages of my obsession I have been buying different flavors and now I have over 50, some I love, some I hate lol. I think it depends on what you're vaping, I LOVE cinnamon and sometimes I'll chain vape cinnamon flavors and my teeth will get a little sensitive, so then I'll switch to a fruity flavor and the problem goes away Hope this helps!

I smoked nothing but menthols for about 11 years. I started with all mint flavors and immediately after starting the fruity flavors my teeth sensitivity started. I'm also not someone that eats sweets. (okay baked goods, but not candy and sugary crap)
Now I'm desperately searching for a tart fruit flavor.

Welcome.

So what hardware are you using?
eGo batteries and what on top?

Haven't heard of sensitive teeth. Maybe it is a PG thing.

 

[theCannibalGirl]

I'm using a Kanger Mini ProTank 2 and have a ProTank 2 in the mail and a vv Vision 1300.

It could be a PG thing. Until this batch from mtbakervapor I always had a 50/50.

Good setup.
When you at the protank, you can put the base from the mini on it, you'll just need to and a second inverted silicone cap on the top of the atomizer to seal the space above it. Better electrical contact, better airflow, and less physical congestion inside the 510 threadwell.

Someone else on the forum mentioned the sensitive teeth thing. You might want to search for it. With your lurking, you probably know...stay hydrated. It really does help.

Welcome to ECF, I have read a few things about teeth sensitivity here sorry I don't have links. Best thing to try is google your question vs using the search in ECF as google will lead u back here to a closer answer.

I'm a noob, your a noob everyone's a noob noob, ole macdonald had a noob eieio.

welcome to ECF!

some super sweet liquids make my teeth sore

Hi

The teeth sensitivity question comes up infrequently. The two most common theories are:

The liquids are hygroscopic - they, basically, suck moisture out of your oral cavity. Dry mouth can lead to dental problems for some people. It's important to drink extra liquids if you vape. It's not a problem for everyone straight across the board because some people have dry mouth issues out of context of vaping. Vaping only makes it worse and brings it to their attention for the first time.

For some people, despite upping their water intake a PG allergy/adverse reaction can produce similar symptoms. You may need to experiment with reducing or eliminating PG from your liquids to see if that's the real source of the problem.

Thanks everyone for the teeth responses. I haven't noticed dry mouth at all, but I generally drink a ton of water. I have noticed the sensitivity with sweeter flavors, especially the afternoon delight (pineapple, banana and coconut).
I have sensitive teeth anyway, I may have to brush them four times a day instead of three. I'm definitely going to work on the switching from PG to VG.

Anyone know of good fruit flavors that aren't quite as sweet? Maybe a little more tart/sour? Like a really good key lime pie?

Where are you buying from now?

I just tried Zinger from Mt. Baker - it's supposed to be their take on Lemon Zinger tea. It's very lemon and very tart for me, with a little bit of a tea flavor in the background. If you get it directly in your mouth it's like a shot of ReaLemon or something.

 

[theCannibalGirl]

I buy from Mt baker. Right now I'm on Blue Moo which has helped tremendously. I'm not huge on lemon. I have a guava they sent as a freebie and I'm thinking of mixing it with a coconut. (I've been on a coconut kick lately)

I also HATE tea. And coffee. So those are out.

Hi! I have sensitive teeth but PG makes my teeth reeeeeally sensitive, like...Crest White Strip sensitive...so I keep my PG low (20-0%).
