Do anyone else' eyes get irritated? I have kind of sensitive eyes... my analog smoke used to drive me nuts. And I've been noticing that when I vape my eyes tend to get dry and a little irritated. Now I'm assuming that this is becasue some of the vape is coming in contact with them and the fact that PG is a humectant. Whcih is fine. It's not irksome enough for me to stop, I was just wondering if this ever happens to anyone else.
Newb with a kinda strange question...

Hmm, I used to get pretty bad stingy eyes when I smoked analogues. I think everyone's prob had that, especially when they used to still have smoking in bars and clubs. The air was so thick with it you were breathing in more nicotine and tar then oxygen at times! I've blown out smoke and got it right in the eyes (there's even a song about this!) it stings and makes them water. Never had this with vaping though. Not even a little bit to be honest.
I accidentally got some of my high nic juice on my fingers...forgot about it...then rubbed my eye. Yea, it stung.

No, it never bothers me when I am vaping, but a blueberry makes my son sneeze and his eyes water if he is right next to me . I thought he was putting on at first but it ha happened a few times .
There's no such thing as a strange question. If you're concerned with anything about vaping this is probably the best place to go for decent anecdotal advice but if you're in doubt I'd see a doctor to be sure if it worsens.
Don't read too much into this as everyone is different, but when my eyes feel tingly/tight is my sign to stop vaping. I had to stop using pg entirely as I'd get that tight eye feeling pretty quickly then break out in a bad rash if I used it for a few hours.
Even with vg, if I have too much I feel it in my eyes first. I put it to nicotine more than anything as I can vape much more low nic before my eyes go and I can vape no nicotine all day and not feel it once. To me, it's a too much nic too fast warning sign that kicks in before the heart palpitations, and if I keep going the nic headache and throbbing temples.
It may not be the case for you but it could just as well be. Order in some vg or at the least lower nic and try it out. If I vape even 6mg I can get that feeling. I think because my metabolism rate is through the roof it gets into my system so quickly it doesn't matter if it's low or not.
Everyone's different. I read some guys using 32mg+ liquids and I can not go any higher than 18. I'm comfy at 6mg or lower and wonder how anyone can even inhale 32mg.
If it's not because of nic, you could put a little vaseline under your eyes to stop the skin from getting irritated as well. My partner does it for pet allergies to sooth and protect the area.
You'll be glad you asked if that's what it is. Hope you find a solution and shoot us a question any time. Someone will help you out

Are you drinking plenty of water? Vaping is known to dehydrate people. Hope that helps.
This post reminded me of one of my little Aha! Moments™ while vaping the other day...
I was outside, and the vapor got caught in the wind and blew back in my face and it dawned on me...
Wow! I won't ever have that horrible burning sensation again when the smoke from the tip of the cigarette floats straight up into my eyes! This is sooooo awesooooooome!
