I love vaping but...

[Papillon61]

... why is my nose always dripping? It doesn't make a difference whether it's high VG or high PG or 50/50, my nose just drips. Not profusely perhaps but enough that I need to wipe it every other minute. I'm not complaining.. I don't mind it all that much and I love vaping too much to even consider giving it up for such a silly reason. But I keep wondering why it happens.

Any thoughts?

Are you exhaling/blowing out through your nose? (quick answer would be: humectant)

My nose will drip but only if I'm exhaling through my nose, all that moisture has to go somewhere, so I try my best to only exhale through the mouth as a wet nose grosses me out.

Not generally no, only what comes out of the nose as a natural not a deliberate process.

There have been a number of threads concerning vaping and nasal issues...

Vaping should dehydrate instead of causing moisture buildup. Has this just started or is it long term? Possible sinus issue? Does this occur while eating or any other activity? I'm not a doctor but I play one on tv.

It is condensation from vaping. I found that higher vg based juices makes mine run more especially exhaling out of my nose. Switched to 50/50 no more running which I actually like the more even mix for my tanks. If I'm dripping I try to hang around the 30pg/70vg mark. Come to think of it my nose hasn't ran in over a month. Maybe it's worse at the beginning of allergy season or its stopped all together the longer I vape.

No to your questions but cool that you play a doctor on TV. I was in TV a very very long time ago but I was in News not drama.

Looking at your time as a non-smoker... I'd say your sinuses are opening, and some stuff that had built-up is now making its exit, the whole ex-smoker healing process in all the respiratory system. Just keep pounding fluids, and it should eventually ease off.

While one may become thirsty from vaping, one could never vape enough to actually become dehydrated from it...

And strangely. It is always my right nostril (actually had a scab there on the inside about a month ago that lasted a couple of weeks though it's totally gone now). My left nostril never drips. Is it because I am right brained?... or is that left brained>...Or maybe I'm just not right in the head because on the left side of my brain there is nothing right and on the right there's nothing left.

 

[WonderDude32]

When I mentioned dehydrating, I meant that there is a lack of moisture/water. Not that you would need I.V. intervention. Have you tried turning up the wattage to get a warmer vape? Does this happen with tanks or rdas? I have no solutions, only questions that may determine the cause. Good luck.

That does seem to indicate that you had a sinus blockage on that side -- you only notice it now that it's leaving. I had a much harder time getting my sinuses cleared, than my lungs -- coughing can help with the lungs, but even blowing your nose won't clear a blockage that's way up inside a sinus cavity, because those cavities are there merely to equalize pressure, the normal flow of one's breathing doesn't affect them directly.

I get the dog nose as well when i exhale through the nose (high VG), figured it's normal condensation. I watched myself do a normal exhale in the mirror and saw that i unconsciously exhale some from the nose as well. No big deal for me, just have to note when i burst into laughing not to be facing my friends

I've noticed that I have to wipe my nose fairly often since I started using higher VG in the few months. I assumed it had something to do with that since I've never had any sinus or allergy problems. I've been vaping exclusively for almost 2 years and it wasn't the case when I vaped 70/30 pg/vg or even with 50/50. I exhale a lot through my nose, as I did when I smoked cigarettes. My family used to tease me about it, calling me the dragon lady.

 

[Thrasher]

Mine does it too sometimes, especially after a decent hit., just a couple drops, I chalk it up to excess condensation, it gets a little worse as humidity goes up.

Vaping actually causes moisture because it is literally composed of moisture, among other things.

Your nose is dripping?

New juice idea!

Several comments here that beg a humorous response, but I tried that once with negative accusatory response.

To the subject, you should try it with a mustache. The good? It catches and collects the drips. The bad? It catches and collects the drips.
