pg or vg?

[zohcray]

Hey everyone, I'm still new to vaping. I'm on day 5. About 2 days ago I noticed that a sore was forming on the bottom of my tongue, and gums seem a bit sore near the teeth, and the top of my tongue is mostly all dry. They are still like that now.

Was wondering what causes this. My ecigs use pg, would switching to vg make it better, or is it just the nicotine?

I got a sore on the side of my tongue two days after I started. I'm on day 7 now and the sore is almost gone. I'm guessing it's not the nicotine because I never got anything like this when I was smoking regular cigarettes. Hopefully someone here knows if it is the pg?

It COULD be - but it could also be a reaction to the heat - or the drying effects of the vapor, or the fact you are now mostly absorbing nicotine thru your mucus membranes (inside of mouth/tongue) and not lungs as much as with ciggies; the thing is we don't know for SURE, only that it rarely hangs around. It's not a bad idea to switch to a % of VG and see if anything changes - I've had similar on the roof of my mouth with BOTH kinds of liquids, and I very much doubt that, for ME, its a sensitivity to PG.

I think it is something that will go away without further problems but if it doesnt you might want to change to a vg mix or less nic.. you might need to experiment some. drink lots of water while vaping may help also.

try asking at webmd (WebMD - Better information. Better health.)

Think the mouth ulcers/sores may be as a result of quiting tobacco aand not necessarily anything to do withn the ecig. I know of a few people who get sores on their toungue when they give up smoking tobacco.
