is this a first? from a Real chain vaper. Sore lip muscles/ sores on lips

[ukeman]

I gotta think I am possibly the worst case of chain vaper... I am hardly a minute without a PV in my mouth..
I do work at home some (computer) and I also do massage work; about 4 hours a day, but i have breaks every 40 minutes or so.
I spend most of my free time on the computer, and even if i am walking the dogs or gardening, or driving i can take my PVs along with.
I probably go through about 6 - 10 mil a day.

1. In the last week I have developed some sores on my lips where the d/t sits; both sides, top and bottom. I even had a sore on the roof of my mouth where the vapor hits.

I chalked it up at first to Cinamon oil in my cinamon hot candy vapes that i was using every day. But even without Cinabomb or Atomic Cinacide, i still get the sores... i do vape mostly Snickerdoodle, my absolute favorite and it must have some cinamon in it i'm sure.

I also upped the PG content in the last month to about 40 or 50 %...

2. Sore lip and jay muscles. I just noticed it a couple days ago on getting a couple of the Pyrex glass d/t's... they are the bomb!! juice slides down so easily (for dripping) and you never get any juice in your mouth. BUT they are wider and you have to grip with different mouth/lip muscles to get good drags... It gets so sore i have to put it down.


Has anyone had this???? Or am i just the most obsessive there is?

Hi ukeman. well i noticed a small sore two days ago and figured i burnt my lip on somethin..but maybe it's from not wantin to put down my new vapin toys

Upping the PG content could be your problem. Cinnamon isn't for everyone and if you upped the PG on top of the cinnamon, the combination of the 2 could be doing it also. Just my 2 cents.

I keep a tin of lip balm in my kit. I drip too and was noticing little sores on my lips. I attribute it to nicotine contact from spills/leaks that get wiped around on my tip when I clean 'em up with a tissue. Whatever it is though, the lip balm serves well as a little bit of a shield. I used to drip right into the drip tip, but have since switched to just pulling it off each time. It's hell on the little O rings, but I haven't noticed as many sores, lip balm or no, and the tips are pretty cheap.

good tip mthr,
i think the heat passed thru the d/t has something to do with the sores; more like blisters too... the combo is enough. lol.
I'm in deep though... sigh.

I have a couple of white d/t's that slide on and off very easily, but not so that they fall off... for dripping ease... i don't drip thru the d/t either.

i wish i remembered where i got these, but i have about a doz. d/t's and wouldn't have a clue where they came from.
