Looks like bug bites to me.
Since you already have VG stuff on the way, switch to that. Remedy your insect situation, and when the bumps go away, slowly go back towards using PG. If the bumps come back after using PG, then just use VG exclusively.

If you only vape once in a while, I really can't see this being a PG allergy.
Avoid the PG allergy hypochondriacs around here, and get to the real root of the problem.
Good luck! I have had a bed bug infestation once, and it was horrible.

Try the VG and see if it helps.I had a reaction to VG and the bumps were small and close together like a rash.You just never know what it could be.Keep trying.
If you removed your mattress and found bugs and roaches, I think the answer is obvious.
They are very hard to get rid of and it take persistance to do it. from what I hear.
We had a battle with the house and fleas once. It took months to compleatly get rid of them from the house and the dog.
We had bites on us even because of it.
Work on continuing to rid your house of bugs and the bites will go too LOL

i am moving to another house in 2 weeks is there a way to avoid taking the bugs with me??? I havent vaped in a while since getting my wisdom teeth out.
Try spraying the bed with a little "Off", I used it once for fleas that got out of hand.
Yes there is. Pack all of your clothing inot plastic sacks take to a laundtymat and stick in the dryer for 10-15 minutes.
Do not take any furniture with you. Shower right before you leave and again as soon as you get to the new place.
Depending how bad the bugs are you may want to get a new mattress. If not, vacuum the heck out of everything! Maybe get a plastic cover for your mattress? Wash & Dry on HIGH everything you can!
My husband travels alot for business and I have always been paranoid that he would bring some little "critters" home from all the hotels he stays at. A week ago he woke up in a hotel with bites that look very similiar to yours, when he got home I laid everything from his suitcase out in the driveway and vacuumed everything before it was allowed in the house! This might be a little extreme lol but bed bugs can come home with you in your luggage and from what I hear they are extremely hard to get rid of.
I did a quick google search and found a product called Bug Patrol that is suppose to be all natural (no pesticides), gets rid of bed bugs and helps prevent them from reoccuring. Might want to check that out also? Good Luck!

Yes, they do look like critter bites to me also. I had the same problem once when my little Fergie & Pippin got fleas. They are tiny little yorkies who think they are human and have to cuddle up around mummy's feet at night.
I don't think many people are that allergic to PG. When you start detoxing, your skin (the largest organ of your body) expels toxins which may cause skip eruptions. You expel toxins in your breath also which explains why many new vapers get bad breath when they begin vaping.
I know it's a lot of work, but you really need to launder and change your sheets everyday after you vacuum your mattress to get the bug's fecal matter and bug eggs out also. What a bummer. But on the good side, you're going to keep right on vaping. Hang in there -- many of us have had setbacks on our new vaping journies, but continuing on yields a priceless reward in the end.

can they get into my boxes full of E liquid and batteries or do they only like furniture..i tthink im gonna buy a hammock
I just had a bout with "itch mites" a very tiny little nympth thing (I think larval stage of some kind of gnat) that lays it's eggs on pin-oak leaves. We have one big tree, a pin Oak! I had no idea. Anyway, they float or jump down from the trees, or carried also most anywhere by birds, and they bite. Millions of them can come from one tree. The bites are almost exclusively on the back, shoulders, upper arms and chest. Feels like a spider bite, very burning and itching for about a week, my bites looked an awful lot like your picture. They are unlike chiggers, which burrow, these just bite, like a spider. They look like a tiny pin-head sized tick.
Nebraska had such a bad outbreak of them in 2004 they had to call in exterminators into their parks, etc.
The Hartz pet supply company makes a very good home spray for fleas and ticks, called "Ultra Guard", it killed those little guys very quickly. The itch lasted a week however. Ultra Guard may work on your mattress and carpets as well for what ails you.
There are also bug-proof mattress/pillow covers you can buy. (pretty cheap) They just die if they can't get out to eat!! I'm getting grossed out all over again just thinking about this! I think I picked them up when I filled my bird-feeders.

We had a bug problem in an apartment we lived in. No matter how many times we got rid of them in our place, because the neighbors did nothing to get rid of them they kept migrating back to our unit. When we moved I set off a bug bomb in the U-Haul after it was packed so that we wouldn't take any with us. You just have to make sure that the truck you use isn't packed too tight and leave your stuff in there long enough for the bomb to work and then air it out really well before you take your stuff into your new place. It's a pain, but better than having to try to get rid of the bugs once you are all moved in.
Bugs hate the smell of tea tree oil. They will vacate in it's presence. I have not had any in my bed, thank God, but when I had some crawlers in the house I made a mixture in a spray bottle and used it all around on the carpet and furniture. About 15-20 drops per 8 oz water. You can buy this at the health food store. Neem oil is good, too but it STINKS.
Those look like bed bug bites. The little .......s are hard to kill, can last a year without feeding, and infest everything they can get into.
