I'm getting mouth sores

[readfreak]

Getting mouth sores. I read somewhere on here that they eventually go away. How long do they usually last? They hurt is there anything I can do to relieve the pain. salt water maybe? Thank you

I don't know what causes them ( hat, PG, VG, the juice), but try vaping from various areas of your mouth rather than one spot. I've had sensitive places appear also.

It's a common thing. You should look in the various sections of ECF for beginners there is a whole list of likely things that can happen to you when you start vaping. It has more to do with you stopping smoking in this case I believe. Make sure you vape to the side when you do. Pro Tip: If you front vape you'll mess up your teeth, hurt your lips, and look like a dbag all at the same time Either way time heals all wounds. Make sure you're getting enough vitamin C. Vitamin C deficiency is rampant in smokers, especially in Americans who often do not get enough fruit and vegetables in their diets.

Thanks. I could't remember where I read about it in this forum, but just found the health issues thread. I've been vaping a few months and this is the first problem i have had. i'll vape on the other side of my mouth. I always vape from the side. Thanks for your help.

I've had a few from time to time when I do get them I use a salt water rinse followed by Kanka by Blistex .

From what I have read ...

Make sure you are taking a multivitamin. You should be anyway of course, but hey, now is a great time to start that habit while ditching another. Drink plenty of water so you are replacing the water that you are losing through vaping. I've also picked up a bottle of Listerene and started using that two times a day. The antiseptic in the Listerene will go a long way in helping your mouth deal with the "negative" effects of quitting smoking. Especially when you brush at night, rinse with the Listerene. Your mouth is susceptible to all sorts of bad crap when you are sleeping (often breathing a lot with an open mouth) that the Listerene will help tremendously.

I don't recommend multivitamins actually. I recommend a healthy, diverse diet. Variety is key. Multivitamins don't absorb into your system nearly as well as actual food which is why you will see % above 100% - that means it doesn't absorb well, not that you need 3333% of your vitamin C per day. Many people also gain weight while on vitamins. There was a study in Time Magazine where one of their writers went on a GNC vitamin regimen and gained a bunch of weight with a quickness. Funny thing about Vitamin C is that you excrete the excess which makes it one of the least harmful vitamins you can overdose on. Grab an orange, you're good to go. Oh and by the way, juice is fake. Once pasteurized all of the live goodies in it are killed and the juice becomes dead. Even freshly squeezed juice will become devoid of its life-giving goodies within 20 minutes. If you drink juice get a juicer but be prepared to pay out the teeth for a good one and also for the amount of fruit it takes to make a real glass of juice. That stuff you're drinking is sugar water with Vitamin C added to it. Another way to prove I'm right is look at the juice ingredients. OMG Vitamin C added?! Why would you add that unless you removed it first with the pasteurization process? Same thing with white "enriched" flour. If they are adding stuff to it that means that it is effectively dead crap they are serving you up on a plate. Eat whole foods; real foods.

Plenty of water (especially in the morning and before bed) and an alcohol free mouth wash a couple times a day. A mouth wash with alcohol will dry your mouth out even more.

Also, I believe the heat from the mouth piece contribute to the sores. lots of clear juices will do it.

First and foremost drink lottsa of water as vaping is dehydrating and can ruin the vaping experience. I drink 1 1/2 liters per day. It could also be a sensitivity to a certain flavor. I get cankers from vaping watermelon with the sweetener Ethyl Maltol aka Cotton Candy. Stopped using it and cankers went away in a couple of days. Gave it to a friend and he had no issues with it. I also rinse/ gargle once per day with fresh squeezed lemon and water- helps to rinse the PG coating away. May also be sensitive to PG. Could also be hot juice or nicotine juice getting into the mouth area. Liquid nicotine burns and it's a good idea to use a drip tip to help avoid this.
Good Luck.
