I had a similar problem when I first got the booster for my ego. I was using a 1.8 ohm atomizer and switched it for a 2.0 ohm problem solved, I'm not sure what you're using for your e-cig but maybe it's too strong. For me the other problem was that the tip of my tongue and roof of my mouth felt burnt. That's gone away now this was when I first got the booster.
Is bleeding gums a side effect from vaping?

I have quit smoking a few times in my life and every time I quit for a period of time my gums would bleed. When I quit this time and started vaping it was the same. It always cleared up after a month or two.
I've smoked for years and years. I'm glad I haven't had that happen. Then again, I haven't stayed quit very long until now.
Decades ago I went to my dentist and he got me started on flossing. The gums immediately began bleeding and I became quite concerned. He told me this was a good thing as the gums were beginning to heal and the blood flow/ bleeding gums was indicative of that healing process.
A while back I posted about the obvious improvement in the capillary circulation in my fingers when cold after switching too vaping. No doubt the same thing happens in the rest of our bodies. Hence the bleeding gum issue.
What you have here is a case of gingivitis and the bleeding was masked by smoking. A trip to the dentist, and daily flossing will fix this right up. Did for me anyways.
I was thinking I have Gingivitis. Been quit and vaping around 2 months. Noticed the bleeding about 2 weeks in. Bleeding is not as bad but still there. I can taste it sometimes when I wake up too.
I do get the dry mouth and sometimes I feel like I have slow roasted the right side of my mouth. I was told that might be from the occasional juice spit I get if I hit the thing too hard.
Started flossing more, brushing about the same. Use mouth wash, always have but I also ran out of that peroxide based mouth wash you use before brushing.
If it is not cleared up, trip to dentist is in order.

Dehydration??
Found via Google:
"Another substance that cannot reach the harmful bacteria responsible for gingivitis and periodontitis is saliva. Believe it or not, gum disease and gingivitis problems are rare when a person is properly hydrated and producing plenty of saliva. The fact is that saliva is the body’s first defense against the anaerobic bacteria because it can help control the bacteria population and prevent problems like gingivitis and periodontitis from ever starting.
Human saliva happens to be rich in oxygen and will thus help slow the rate of reproduction for anaerobic bacteria. Your saliva also has these specialized enzymes which help the body produce antibodies that neutralize bacteria before they can cause an infection in your gums. Behaviors that will lower the rate of salivation due to dehydration are..."

Well I know for me personally it's not gingivtis, I go to the dentist regular as my sister works in the office lol
Anyway last I had like 6 chewable vitamin C's (yeah my kids love the chewables) and this morning my gums don't feel as tender as they had been. I will let you know when the systom stops completely
I have been vaping for 2 months and I have the same bleeding problem...man I hate the dentist
**Update*** Okay so now in 2 days I have taken about 3000mg of vitamin C each day (don't worry whatever vit C you don't need you body flushes out in you pee. My doctor told me when ur sick you should be taking around 4000mg per day) anyway I have woken up this christmas morning and my gums feel normal! 
No tenderness and no bleeding!

Glad to hear it all worked out and congrats on not only finding a solution but posting it here for others.

Remember that Vit C is water soluble and smokers tend to need 2 time the RDA so I would start there. If you can handle it, I would try Emergen-C brand vitamin C as it will also help boost the immune system. With all of those changes in place, if it keeps up, then I would increase your VG percentage and also seek some advice from your dentist.

My symptoms too have decreased but for some reason when I vape anything with cinnamon in it, regardless of PG/VG or Nic strength, they bleed again. Too bad as I love cinnamon. Increasing vitamins and brushing/flossing twice a day certainly helped.
You may have a gum diease and the vaping of vg/pg is agitating it. If it persist go to your dentist and find out why
