I'm still relatively new to vaping but I've noticed certain issues becoming more pronounced since I stopped smoking, such as the weakness of my gums, most predominantly. I'm sorry for all these health issues the OP is having. Prior replies covered everything I think.
I'm Now Convinced That Vaping Is Weakening My Immune System

I put your exact phrase in google.
This is what I got.
E-Cigarette Vapor Shown To Repress Immune System | IFLScience
Oddly enough the test suggests vaping MAY cause a weakening of the immune system but the test was done using a human dose on a mouse with an njoy and then exposing them to influenza.

Everything else on google looks to be fear mongering with no substantial evidence

I had my "annual" cold after I started vaping. It was shorter and milder than the previous ones. Not saying vaping had anything at all to do with it though. I did vape during the cold as well though.
imo I think that vaping large quantities will cause issues in many people. Some seem to vap 20-30ml per day those are the ones I am referring to. But just my opinion that anything overdone is not good for you.
Too much oxygen or water can kill you.

And here comes the Vaper mafia to tear you apart because you said something they don't like or agree with. Lol.
Thank you snork. It gets very tiresome having to kiss our freedoms away because one person in the World might be affected or offended by our actions and I am not just talking about vaping.
I am sorry that you are having so many health problems OP but should every person in the Whole World have to pay because of it.
Oh, my, do I like this post; this is my kind of thinking.
I am very sorry to hear about your issues, but since I started vaping, I have only had one cold, and it lasted less than they did when I was smoking. I haven't had any other issues that you described, either.
I did some googling.....................
Herpes is a viral issue (and like mentioned above it does not mean the sexually trasmitted kind when it only presents on or around your mouth)
Cold and Canker Sores | University Health Service
Being viral it is not treated with antibiotics.
Now about the Styes....
Understanding Stye -- the Basics
They are tyically caused by a blocked oil gland and the staph bacteria.
I am curious if the subsequent rounds of antibiotics were the same prescription as the first?

I'm sorry you're experiencing health issues but after reading your post, the only thing I'm convinced of is that you're buying into the FUD you're reading about online.
Staph infection was the first thing that came to my mind.. A lot of his symptoms sound like things that have happened to my aunt. My aunt had neck surgery though and the infection was a complication of the procedure.
Ever have chicken pox? The same virus is responsible for shingles. Herpes symptoms. Bells pasley. It's worth a look...worth a screening.
Catching up on my reading....I've been smoke free for only about 5 months, have noticed nothing but positive changes in my health. I have chronic Lyme, so I'm pretty good at noticing changes, no matter how slight. Sounds a lot like an allergic reaction, I'd quit vaping if I thought it was detrimental, the same way we all quit smoking analogs. Try cutting it off for a week, and see if it changes anything. Good luck, hope you get sme relief, let us know!
I am sorry to hear that you might have a strong reaction to vaping.
The best thing to be sure if it's vaping, I would stop it completely for 1 month. If you don't have anymore symptoms, try to pick it up again and see if they reappear. That's what you do when your testing for food allergies.

I'm not sure if the OP's issues are vapor related or just timing related. PG has antimicrobial properties, antibacterial properties and is used in hospital air fresheners for that purpose.

Sorry for the snark in the thread OP, it's not necessary and really not helpful.
If you really attribute all of your symptoms with vaping, then may I ask, why do continue to vape?
I would have quit a while back, at least so I could determine if it was vaping causing them. Then, as someone else said earlier, change one thing at a time - your power level, liquid supplier, liquid ratio, liquid flavor, coil supplier, wire, wicking, even the mod you are using are some things you might want to consider - then see if things change.
Sorry you are having all these issues, but in order to fix what is wrong, you have to know what to fix.
the only way to tell is to quit vaping (or play around with the content of the juice)
I know personally my immune system is stronger getting off of cigarettes, respiratory infections 1, in a year, prior to that around 4 (that required antibiotics ) length of the yearly flu, 5 months smoking, to zero symptoms this year vaping, 4 weeks.
good luck

I'm sorry you're experiencing these symptoms. I'm almost 67 years old and smoked cigarettes for more than 40 years. I guit smoking and have been vaping for more than 3 years now and I have not come down with the flu or a cold since I quit smoking.
