My problem

[Fr0st8it3]

I am just over a week into my vapor fest.

Over 1 week analog free...

Over the last couple of days ive been noticing spots now on my skin... That ICHE!!

Im iching so bad its becomming a problem at work and I am making myself bleed.

I read dry skin might be a cause and that I might be allergic to the PG

My question is... Wouldnt the allergic reactions show up earlier if that is what this is?

How do I know? Im pointing the finger at everything right now and its not fun at all...

Its almost like a million fleas bit me... There are spots... But i dont live with animals and Ive already had the chicken pox... I love to vape I just dont want to be scratching my skin off daily.....

Try dropping the vaping for a few days and see if the itching stops. If it does, you are having an allergic reaction to something. At least then you will know to start looking at the components in e-cigs that might be causing your itching.

i dont want to go back to analogs

The first thing anyone should tell you about medical type questions is 'go see or call a medical professional'. You could then post your results, which would add to the knowledge base. Do you really want to screw around with stuff like that?

By all means, continue doing what you're doing then. Don't see a doctor, whatever you do. Chicks dig open sores.

Like everyone else told you, go and see a doctor. An allergic reaction might not show up at first. It might take a while for whatever is causing this to build up to a sufficient level in your body and when it did, bingo!

Same opinion here.... go see your Doctor, just to be safe. There are alternatives VP i.s.o.PG other flavors.....

Take care!

I would say use vg only liquid for awhile and see how it goes.

1-Seek PROFESSIONAL advice.
2-Look up smoking cessation reactions...alot of things happen when ur body rids itself of the thousands of chemicals u constantly inhaled into ur system when smoking. Sores are common with quitting smoking, but like I said, seek a professional to be sure it is not a coincidence, and something bad..
3-switch to vg and see what happens.
4-Use intuition. If ur feeling its bc of vaping, stop and test it!


PS-when vaping, always double the amt of water u drink, it DOES dry u out...

Seeking professional medical advice is out of the question. With no medical coverage I could never afford it.

Get some reduced PG or VG only juice. Sounds like a SENSITIVITY to PG.
And use some skin moisturizing lotion in the mean time.

This is **NOT ** to be construed or viewed as medical advice.

Get a telephone book or call information and find out where a free clinic is in your area!

I say get some vg in your favorite flavor, rush shipped! Use that for a few days and see if it goes away. If not, try switching flavors. You need to start eliminating possible causes one at a time.

Everyone else: Not everyone has easy access to medical care, and free clinics are not plentiful everywhere (i personally have never seen one). Sometimes we have no choice but to help ourselves and each other.

it might not be pg at all it could be an allergy to flavorings. What flavor juice do you use? Have you any food allergies? glycol apears in alot of other products like deodorant and toothpaste. If you haven't had to seek out glycol free deodorant and stuff it very well could be an allergy to vanilla or peanuts.

So the individual in question could afford smokes, e-cigarettes, and send off for liquids that may or may not address the issue but a visit to "urgent care" at 75 bucks is too expensive???

Hint: Emergency rooms are filled with people that have no insurance. When triaging a rash is usually isolated and examined quickly to protect from possible contagions to staff and patients.

Edit: The trick of going to the ER is not to tell anyone but the physician that you've been itchy for a week. What makes a rash urgent is that Benadryl or other home remedies have failed and one woke up unable to take it anymore. Lots of scratching in their presence helps. If sores are open and susceptible to secondary infection an antibiotic may be in order.

Ok folks...
Ended up being sand flees.

I had taken my blanket to the beach last week and never washed it...

Washed all my bedding and slept soundly without any ich last night...

Never put down my 510, And people that had stayed with me before had felt the iche as well...

I hate bugs
