Mouth Sore?

[DisMan]

You see why I can't pinpoint the cause, Disman. I use the e-cig almost non-stop, but always have a snus in place and puff my pipe four times a day. What's to blame? I may never know.

I'm giving up NOTHING to find out, either.

Oh, I would totally understand. I don't know how you do it though....that's a lot of nicotine every day!

I can't believe I found this.

I had just gotten a sore on my upper gums, near my wisdom tooth.
No puss or weird colors or anything extreme like that, more like a bump.

I wondered where the hell it came from.

And funny story, I had shared a real cigarette with a somewhat stranger to me, about 3 weeks ago, before I had gotten this e cig.

The next day, after sharing it with him, I got paranoid about the idea that he could of had herpes. I know that sounds ridiculous, but he did mention having a girlfriend who had herpes. Why I shared a cig with him? No idea, and I cant stop hitting myself for that.

Well 2 weeks after that, I got my e cig.

After a week of smoking it, getting e juice in my mouth constantly, I developed that bump.

without even thinking about the e cig, I thought I had herpes. Which is possible, not likely, but possible, I never had a fever or anything else form around my mouth.

But then I had the idea that my e cig was causing this.
I vape all day, literally.

I charge my batteries like 3 times a day.

Just curious, I came here, and found this topic.

I almost pretty sure my e cig is causing this, or at least the juice is for that matter.

We were told these things were safe, and then after we buy them, we read articles about how they haven't been tested, and pretty much ALL of them are made in china, with no one to tell us whats going on there.

Either way, I set up an appointment with my dentist, and my doctor.
I will ask for their input on it.

But for the most part, I think it might just be a reaction to the liquid.
Ill report back when I have some answers from my doctor, and possibly my dentist.

You can get the same kind of sores from chemo, incidentally.

I went back to the nic juice and I think it is coming back..... maybe I have a reacting to nic staying in my mouth.

I do not think it is the same thing at all. I know people who have gotten them from Chemo. It is not like that and was only painful when I messed with it! Remember I speared it with my finger nail to see if it was .....? LOL

Not painful.

 

[LittleOralFix]

Did not vap at all and I it is gone again! LOL Same spot too.

Getting nic juice in your mouth is probably going to cause this. Get it on your lips or in your mouth, it'll cause a sore. I have a similar problem on and off. This is why leaky carts are such a problem.

Your mouth-parts are very sensitive, they will be effected by exposure to eliquid, especially high nic content. Have plenty of water on hand, if you ask me.

ive noticed the same thing. I think it's the bits of nicotine in the mist that we're inhaling. Mine were on one spot on the tongue after vaping a couple of days in a manner where it was hitting that spot fairly regularly and then a spot on the roof of my mouth, again I noticed it was in spot vapor was hitting as I was inhaling.

My thoughts are that it's the same sort of thing that happens when you wear the patch (when you use the patch, your skin will get sensitive and turn red where the patch is), except in this case it's inside the mouth, where you have mucous membrane that the nicotine stream is hitting.

The mouth sore I have is in the back of my mouth, on top, where my wisdom tooth is.

If I get the juice in my mouth, it usually gets on my tongue 90% of the time, yet my tongue has no sores.

The vapor itself must be causing it.
There is no way the juice is getting on the roof of my mouth in the back.

It probably wont be long before I have some bumps on my tongue.

Is anyone who posted in this thread still here? Do you still get these sores?

A forum search brought me here after finding two small sores where my upper lip meets the inside of my mouth or gum. They feel like I bit my lip. However, I don't remember doing so.

Do you guys still get these? Is this a newbie problem that goes away with time or maybe with more care that you don't overfill your carts? Its pretty disturbing. I would really appreciate some input.

the corners of my mouth started to get itchy the first week so i stopped for a day.

I quit smoking two years ago and picked this up because I missed the habit. So none of these are analog quitting symptoms. I have the following problem (some are already mentioned in previous posts, some are not).

1. I have a bump on the roof of my mouth above my 2nd or 3rd furthest back tooth. It's mildly sore. Kind of like when you get a burn on the roof of your mouth and its slightly sore for a few days.
does anyone know what this is or have talked to a doctor?

2. The inside of my mouth at the back in the crevace where the top and bottom wisdom teeth meet i have the feeling of sore skin. Not a bump, but kind of sore and feels like i have a popcorn kernal stuck there or something.

3. I opened my mouth wide in the mirror in direct sunlight and found I have a yellow tint to the roof of my mouth and back of my throat. Anyone have that?

I have been vaping solid since June 10, several different flavors from many different vendors, JC, NuVape, Heavens Gifts, Janty. From 36 to 24 nic strength. Also vaped EcoPure from IV for a couple weeks. I have yet to experience any sores or any abnormality, actually, my dentist could tell I quit smoking because my gums were a normal color.

A few years ago I was told I had gum disease and my gums would be bleeding when I brushed if I wasnt smoking. Sure enough, my gums started to bleed a little now when I brush, but thats because I quit smoking, not because I started vaping. Something about blood cells being constricted.

Could this new increase in blood flow be causing something that was laying dormant, to surface? I dunno, i consider myself a very heaver vaper and havent noticed anything but benefits, no adverse reaction. I know PG dries out your mouth as well, so maybe that has something to do with it?

Remember, you can spread herpes even though you are not currently having an outbreak.

haha, sorry, couldnt resist throwing that in there!

There are two potential problems: PG and VG are humectants and can cause dryness of the mouth, nose, eyes etc as they absorb moisture, which is why they are commonly used as a food additive (to stop food drying out). The sores might well be aphthous ulcers which are often found in smokers who have given up. In fact, nicotine patches have been prescribed to treat this condition, also known as Sutton's Disease. Google or Wiki aphthous ulcers for more information.

I haven't had anything like this. I have been vaping(and heavily) for about two weeks.

I do have a tendency to chew on my cheeks occasionally though....

 

[JFrankParnell]

fyi, i take an acidophilus pill every day to keep the cankor sores away. I've had a problem with them for a long time, long before vaping. Also, many yogurts have this ingredient and will help also.

Do you think over time the PG will dry out your lungs?

.. no.

PG is not bio-cumulative, and effects have only been found (from current studies) in the upper respiratory tract when inhaling PG vapors. The upper respiratory tract includes the nasal cavity, larynx, and pharynx.

The areas unaffected (lower) include the trachea, primary bronchi, and lungs.

Regarding any effect on the upper respiratory system, studies were conducted with the use of PG/VG in fog machines, due to concerns about the effect on the voices of performers. No permanent effect was found, and temporary effects only result from acute (read: MASSIVE) inhalation.

I am seriously blown away by the intelligence of people on this forum, normally I would say it is copying and pasting but I don't pick that up in this case.
What a melting pot there is here. It's comforting in an odd way, that people who are so obviously smart are vaping away like us "dolts". It is people like this who are responsible for the fact that I can't stop reading and searching this forum and they are good representatives of the vaping community. Keep up the good work!

p.s. I don't know if this made sense, it's late

 

[LittleOralFix]

Ok, just to make myself feel better. Dr. cleared me, no herpies, no stds. LOL
Freaky people you!

So I stopped vaping all together for a few months, just kind forgot about it actually. LOL Then had a bit of stress in my life and hunted down my 901 stash. Sure enough the sore came back. I think it might be the nic in the vaper as I did not get juice in my mouth! I was very mindful of noticing this...
And, I noticed it happened more with high nic juice for me.

I have VG on the way, no nic, and we shall see what happens!
