I have been using my ecig for 2 weeks, all I have had is mouth problems since. I started with the normal tobacco flavor, within the first day i got canker sores, then a few days later, i got bleeding gums, a week of that and it finally went away. now i have a horrible metal taste in my mouth and it is not going away, so I went back to my vape shop and talked to the manager and he suggested that its the PG that is causing my problem and that I should try PG Free, so I bought PG free all natural, all organic ejuice. The metal taste went away slightly, but I can't find all natural PG free ejuice that has more that 12mg! So I can't get a good vape, I need at least 24mg. Does anyone have this problem? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I'm assuming that since you say you have been using your ecig for 2 weeks that you are also 2 weeks off normal cigs? If that is the case some of what you are experiencing could be part of withdrawal from normal cigs, I've been off analogs for 4 weeks now and had bleeding gums when I brushed for like the whole of last week. Plus my gums were really irritated and I had a mouth ulcer. The metallic taste could be blood from bleeding gums, apparently this is to do with proper circulation returning to your gums since no longer inhaling tar ect from analogs.

Seems to have settled down now and also pretty common - Have a read through here - http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...hen-quitting-tobacco-changing-ecigarette.html

I'd say if it doesn't clear up then maybe think about the PG? I'd also think about how much water you are drinking, I've only just realised recently that I've been in a constant state of minor dehydration! So I've been making sure I drink at least 3-4 750ml bottles of water a day the last few days and have felt much better, no headaches ect. The PG really dehydrates you so maybe that making your withdraw related gum issues worse? Drink more water and see if it helps I'd say.

Good luck!
