mouth ulcers!

[NickyB]

Has anyone else experienced mouth ulcers/cracked tongue since starting vaping?!

 

[djsvapour]

A few, yes.

Actually, more than when I was smoking...

Then again, I always had them as a kid...

It might be a symptom of quitting smoking. I haven't smoked though for quite a long time.

Patients who stop smoking often complain of aphthous (mouth) ulcers. This symptom is sometimes attributed to the use of smoking cessation medications, but little is known about it.

I had a few issue right after I started but they went away... you might have to change what your mouth piece is. I know plastic gave me a rashy mouth then I switched to stainless and have had no problems

Hi NickyB and welcome to the forum!

Another consideration I've heard about is a possible allergy to chrome. If your drip tip is metal and an "inexpensive" one, it might be chrome-plated.

Hope it helps and Happy vaping!

I noticed the same thing for the first couple of weeks I was off analogs but now it has gone away.
I have a istick 20W with a Nautilis Mini--I really like this set-up but I didn't like the tips that came with the Nauty Mini--chrome plate maybe--i switched them out to plastic and like them a lot better.

Could be if your using a vape with a tight draw. Causes your cheeks to suck in and get cut up on the sides of your teeth. I've had that happen when vaping extensively. I use tanks now with a wide open airflow and it's a lot better

This is a good thread to catch! I've had these problems with the cracks on the tongue, no mouth ulcers but the tounge issue persisted for quite a while and I was very concerned. I have not had this issue since I stopped using my aspire K1 clearo's and moved on to stainless steel RDA's and a kangertech subtank nano. I'm guessing the chrome allergy is most likely the case. My tongue got so cracked up I though I may have had cancer!!! No irritation at all since I switched to stainless. Can anyone confirm that Aspire K1 drip tips are chrome plated?

I still get them from time to time. Change flavors frequently and drink lots of water.

Sounds like you either need to change your e-liquid or keep hydrated by drinking plenty of water. Also try e-liquid with a higher ratio of VG as this could help.

I have been vaping since Feb 2011 or 2012 (not sure) and have noticed dry-mouth with vaping. It's wierd but vaping the vapor can actually dry out your mouth even tho its water vapor. Do like the doctors say and "drink more water".

As a side issue, I recently had a chest x-ray because of a dry cough from a BP med I was on (lisinopril). It noted a few healed cracked ribs and collarbone remodeling BUT, my lungs showed clear. After almost 50 years of smoking and 3-4 years of vaping and all of those "spots" are gone.
