If your ejuice contains propylene glycol (PG) you may eventually have nose bleeds because PG is hydrophyllic and displaces water molecules in the nasal membranes, resulting in localized dehydration and thus can result in nose bleeding.
What to do? Clamp bleeding nose with fingers around a tissue for a full 5 minutes. Repeat if necessary. Do not lean your head back. Do not bend over.
Once the blood flow stops, do not blow your nose that day. Purchase Neosporin ointment, apply inside nose for 5 days to heal the vascular rupture. Then apply a thin coating of petroleum jelly (vaseline) once every day or two using a jar just for this purpose. If the mild to moderate bleeding continues after 10 days, see an ENT (ear, nose and throat physician). Yes, I'm a retired medical research doctor and I'm using this very technique. :)

Your source? Who invented it? Another ANTZ provocation? (bad cop)
Poor locally dehydrated nose... (good cop)
