Reactions....

[Coffee Addict]

I set my daughter up with an e-cigarette about 4 months ago. I was with her for 3 of those months so we got most of the basics out of the way.
I gave her my provari, 4 batteries, a tank and about 50 punched cartos and when I left, I left about 60 ml of juice.

The juice was BWB (she seemed to like that one) and it is 70% PG & 30% VG.
Now the last few weeks, since I have left she says her face is breaking out around her mouth. It was not doing this when I was there and everything is the same with the e-cigarette and juice as when I was there. I or she never mentioned anything about vaping being the cause, but just wondering what others think about if this could be the cause.

Could it take 3 months for a reaction to show up?
What are your suggestions if it is.......I have been using the same formula for 4 years now so I have no idea.

Seems odd might have nothing at all to do with vaping or maybe delayed reaction.

Normally, a dermotological reaction is due to an allergen and comes on pretty darned fast.

Has she gotten herself some other juice since you parted, or even the same juice in a different PG/VG ratio? Started using a different lip gloss or cover-up, or something?

I had a rash break out on the back of my neck several weeks after I started vaping...I attributed it to my body detoxing from having smoked for 40 years (but that's just my experience, individual results will vary).

I don't think that's too odd. A lot of people who get more PG based juice have reactions like this..mostly acne and breakouts.
A lot of people who are allergic to VG will get breakouts or have other reactions to it. Yes, it could be a delayed reaction, mine most definitely was.
Just let her know to drink lots of water and wash her face/body on a daily basis, morning and night. Should clear up in time.

Allergens can definitely take a while to build up in your system. So it is possible to have an allergic reaction to something after a few months with no problems. Switch her to a vg liquid and see if it stops.

Maybe quit zits?

Have her check her makeup and toiletries, even her toothpaste . I vape 80/20 PG/VG, and started getting a reaction AFTER A YEAR! I found everything I was using had PG in it, and I was overloading my system. Got new stuff, and everything is fine.

I had an allergic reaction from an ingredient in a new juice. I broke out into hives immediately. However, sometimes it does not happen right away. I would first check if anything else new was used in the makeup/skincare departament first. And change the juice to see if it doesn't just go away on its own.

I believe it is fairly common for some people to break out as a result of detoxing from quitting smoking.

As one that suffers dreadfully with seasonal allergies, and learned much along the way, there are many misconceptions about them.
Allergies are a matter of a bodies tolerance to things. I've been tested and am allergic to shell fish, but I can eat it fine. I'm allergic to about everything that pollinates, this is what gets me. It's the amount of things in your system that build up to create a reaction. Lots of dust, cat dander and pollen's, my system overloads and shuts down. If I were to eat shell fish daily, it would shut down from that, but I only eat it once a month, so it's fine.
As the poster above noted, PV was in this and that and the other thing, they had overloaded their system, limit the intake, and all is fine. It's hard to explain, but it's not one thing or another that normally cause reactions, it's a combination of several things that cause the reaction. I venture she has changed something else in her life that is causing these reactions, be it makeup, heavy pollination with weather etc.

So why don't the quit zits show up on my ....? I have skin there too. Why the face?

I had a similar experience that started a couple of weeks after I started vaping. It didn't break out with a rash, but my mouth area felt itchy. It went away after several weeks. It might have been my body detoxing or a reaction to a component in a particular juice. I haven't experienced anything like that since and its been about a year.
