Try leaving a very white cloth on the floor at night. You will see if little black things are on it in the morning. Try a couple nights. Then flea bomb the place if it is.
My brother had fleas in his front yard one year (no he does not have pets either). Man he had a mess. Had to spray the front yard a couple of times and bomb his house a few more.

that is what the white cloth/towel is for. Help you to see the fleas. To see if it is fleas or something else.
How? Need to ask the Orkin man
Can you have fleas without pets (animals)?

You said you recently moved in and that's when you started getting the bites. Fleas live outside in the grass and if your place has a carpet, and the previous residents had pets, the eggs can live in the crevices of the carpet nap.
Also, if it's bed bugs - I've never had any experience with them but have seen documentaries about them. They're very difficult to kill, they can hide in any crevice on the floor, the walls, carpets, etc. From what I've read, the only way to kill bedbugs is to call in a professional exterminator and have them treat your place with heat. The little critters are practically indestructible to any chemical treatments. Once you get bed bugs, you have to get rid of your bed, couches, essentially anything that has stuffing in it. That includes carpets also. These little unwanted tenants may have been in your place before you moved in.
You can however check for them. Check any creases on your mattress, they thrive seemingly unnoticed and come out to feast. You can also check the edges of your carpeting and if your bed base is wood, they'll hide there too.
I hope it's not bed bugs, they are a nightmare from what I've read. I've always been "paranoid" about it because I always had little ones and made sure we didn't share our living environment with them critters LOL.
If it's other insects try using Avon's Skinsosoft. They have a whole line of insect repellents.
Have you stayed in any hotel/motel recently? That's another place your clothes may have brought them in.

Although not impossible to do as a homeowner. We kinda missed the winter weather.

Just had another thought. You also said you don't have any bites on your face and neck. You may just have to thank vaping for that blessing. The pg in the liquid may be keeping the bugs away. Those areas are constantly exposed to the vapor.
Are your hands free of bites too?

You've been vaping for about a year and a half, it didn't start until you started sleeping in your girlfriends bed, and your girlfriend also has it. What made you think it was related to vaping?
Do either of you use Tide laundry detergent on your clothes or bedding? If so try switching to something else. I am having similar problems and I think I have it narrowed down to a problem with the Tide.
Crabs ....
He looks friendly. Would make a good boss mob in a video game.
Bedbugs is what I thought, too.
A dermatologist should be able to identify whether you have ecxema, psoriasis, or just contact dermatitis, etc. they can probably tell just by looking. If not, then they will do a scraping (lightly scrape off some skin cells and send to pathologist).
A week and a half after the switch from analogues to vaping I'm also having some insane issues with itchy skin, hives and acne. I'm not sure if someone's already mentioned this but for anyone else with the same symptoms I did a little bit of reading and apparently itchiness is a side-effect of quitting analogues as circulation is increased in the skin ... something about it stimulating pain receptors and causing temporary itching sensations. As for hives and acne, the body is getting rid of toxins, apparently.
It could be pg or vg allergic reaction.
If you are allergic to pg you probably already know cos a lot of products that we use have pg.
People can become allergic to something they were not allrgic to before from over exposure to it.
Try 100% vg and 100% pg try to replace your flavor and coloring.

I got the same thing, mines getting much better now.I thought mine was from tobacco withdrawls or something. Not sure what caused it but it's going away now and I'm no longer itching. I even had it in my scalp. But it's almost all gone now. Maybe my body was getting used to the pg or vg? Maybe it was tobacco withdrawls, I don't know, just glad it's gone now. But I had bumps in my scalp, arms, and chest. I'm really glad they are better whatever it was. I put some of that itch creme lotion on most areas and it really helped. It's almost completely gone. You might give the lotion a try and maybe a Benadrill for the alergy. Mine just went away on its own with using that lotion to help.
