Mouth Ulcers

[SyncVaper]

I guess i'm not the first to post on this (Googled around and results shows).

But anyone have any other advice other than drinking more water? Usually when i have ulcer, i'd give it a nice salt coating straight up and it'll go numb and heal within the next 3hrs (yes, painful when you apply salt directly but just tahan a bit till it goes numb in 5mins time).

But this time round, i've been salt whacking it for the past 3 days in 3hrs interval and still not healing... New to vaping here and pretty freaking out.. What next?

I read this online when a friend had the same problem. Luckily for me, I have not had any of these since replacing analogs with vaping. Maybe this can answer you and help a little.

Canker sores are a ‘side effect’ of quitting tobacco cigarettes. Several concerned vapers have asked their dentists and ENT surgeons about the canker sores since vaping and they were given the following information: Tobacco smoking provides alkalinity in the mouth – so when you stop smoking the analogues and change to e-cigarettes, it takes time for the mouth to re-balance, and the mouth is essentially too acidic. This re-balance can take months or longer to occur. Then you add vaping into the mix – which is dehydrating to the mouth (it dries it up) this can exacerbate the condition.

It is not the vaping that causes the sores; it is the not smoking.

So what can you do about it?

Several suggestions that vapers have tried and it worked for them:
•Change to a toothpaste that doesn’t contain Sodium Laurel Sulfate ( the soapy bit that removes oil/fat) as this can irritate
•Some have found that either PG or VG irritate, and playing about with their own mixes has helped – VG seems less of an irritant.
•Hygiene – clean you atty and cartomiser at least weekly
•Rinse your mouth with 1tsp of baking soda in a glass of warm water.
•Use the regular non minty Listerine mouthwash.
•Drink plenty of water.
