My throat is bleeding.

[GRIMLOCKE]

Ok so I started with Blu Ecigs. It broke within a week. So I got a Kgo set up for batteries and some ego clearomizers. I havent looked back. I went from two packs a day to no packs a day. This was just about a month ago. The issue Im starting to have is that my throat is bleeding on and off. When it starts to bleed I stop vaping for a few hours and that seems to help. Today I went back to analogs cause I needed nicotine and vaping was making my throat feel terrible. Ive been using a 60/40 PGVG with 24mg from Hoosier ecigs, where I got the KGO setup, intermixed with some johnson creek juices I got in a sample pack.

Ive done some reading and some people said that their gums bled and after a few days it went away...is this related? I really dont want to go back to analog cigarettes... should I just power through? Im terrified Im going to damage my throat or something. Please someone give me some good news.

You should go to a doctor and get that checked out.
It is most definitely not normal.

The bleeding gums has to do with improved blood flow after quitting smoking.
It could be related, but only if you throat has a reason to be bleeding.

I am a new vapor as well. Does not sound normal. Do yourself a favor. Go see a doctor or a dentist depending on where the blood is coming from.

 

[thughes]

I agree! Go see a doctor for sure! Try lowering your nic too! That may help the throat hit aspect and ease the pain. But bleeding that's weird! Get that checked out!

 

[Wackyjak]

Go to the Doc and say "ahhhh" for sure. Just to be safe

 

[supergerbil]

Yeah, definitely go see doc.

In regards to abnormal/normal reactions to vaping, anybody get a relative increase in canker sores? I understand that this may be a possibility after being off of analogs for a bit. Changes pH of oral cavity from what I have read.

 

[GRIMLOCKE]

Great. My throat is going to fall out. I smoked analogs for 20 something years and now im a goner lol.

 

[Kay1959]

I know and I've heard where bleeding gums is a part of getting off of analogs, but I've never heard of bleeding throat either. How can you tell your throat is bleeding? Are you coughing up blood or something? It may or may not be related to vaping. If your throat is bleeding, ANYTHING is going to irritate the situation, so I can see where not vaping would make it feel better. I too would suggest you see your Dr.

could be still too much PG, also i recommend DIY e-liquid and less nico ...24 is really strong !! 18 should be enough for You

Doctor time. I wouldnt even take anyones advice. Doctor time.

 

[GRIMLOCKE]

Ok to be honest...It maybe my gums bleeding and just throat irritation. I cant really seem my own throat while its happening. I am ordering lower nic juice as I type this. Cause honestly there is no way Im going back to analogs. I cant stand the taste and smell now.

 

[spaceballsrules]

Stop vaping immediately and go see a doctor. If you absolutely have to keep vaping, switch to 100% VG juices to see if that helps with the irritation.

PLEASE go see your MD ASAP. A bleeding throat should not be related to vaping unless something is going on there unrelated to vaping that the vapor may aggravate. But vaping does not cause a bleed in your throat. Something else is going on there. May be an infection or something like that. Nurse's advise - go see a doctor!

Nice advise but I wouldn't follow it until a Doctor has determined that there's nothing else going on!

 

[ohai]

I vote with everyone who said "doctor" asap.

 

[Beans]

Yep, get yourself to the DR to be safe.

 

[TarFreeMe]

Definitely see a doctor ASAP. The blood may be coming from somewhere other than your throat, but it wouldn't it be better to hear that you're OK from a doctor rather than "muscling through it?" I had a lot of strange things happen to me when i quit smoking from mouth ulcers to mild sinus bleeding to gum bleeding, all of which cleared up fairly quickly, but throat bleeding I've never heard attributed to quitting smoking or vaping.

And as to the nic level suggestion - Stay at a higher level if it's working. The throat bleeding isn't due to the nic level. Definitely go to the Doctor.

 

[Vapoor eyes er]

A no brainer to see your Doc. IMO. You can also reveal to him that you've stopped smoking. Most of our Dr's have been very supportive of vaping. Could also be, as others have reported, you have a sensitivity to PG. Myself I am sensitive to Ethyl Maltol aka Cotton Candy. Also one other point that no one has touched upon. Vaping is dehydrating and if you're drinking coffee (more than 4 cups= dehydration) or caffeine laced soft drinks the dehydration becomes severe. I cut my java down to 3 1/2 cups per day from 10+ and no longer drink Coca Cola. I drink 1 1/2 litres water per day.
Good Luck.
