Is Vape the same thing as smoke?

Almost a month now and loving every minute of it! No side effects whatsoever at this point. I love the way I don't smell like smoke anymore and don't see ANY residue on the mouthcap (like i would see a ton on the filter of an analog after each smoke).

Not to mention I'm saving a ridiculous amount of money because of how expensive analogs are in NY.

All my smoker friends love it, they love it too much, actually. LOL. I wouldn't be surprised if with time e-cigs dominate the smoking market!

I may finally be experiencing my first side effect =/

I noticed a small patch of red dry skin on my hand today. I've never had any skin issues so It's very possibly related to vaping. I noticed it came after I started vaping a pure PG menthol flavor that is VERY strong. It's very harsh on my throat, but I love the flavor so much.

Ok.
Lets review.
It's very strong
It's very harsh
It's menthol (a strong menthol)
It's effecting (I assume) your vaping hand.

Time for a flavor change to something safer.

Yeah, I wonder if the juice uses menthol crystals, I'm not sure. I'll probably add a few drops of it to a tobacco flavor or dilute it a little. It's a great flavor, just really strong.

And who knows, the dry skin could be unrelated.
