Sore gums

I have noticed a noticable increase in the tenderness of my gums and some bleeding when brushing my teeth. It has been over two months for me and it continues. Admittedly I had gum problems before but they seem worse now. I did read that it might be the nicotine as a side effect is bleeding gums. I need to do some more research I guess.
Same here... not sure if it's nicotine or dryness, but I definitely believe my gum issues are related to vaping. Heavy dosing with the biotene since I was a heavy smoker for over 25 years... we'll see and i'll let you know.
Listermint mouthwash 2 times a day. Once in morning and once at night before you got to bed. Works great. Not sure if stores have it. I got mine on Amazon. It's working for me. No more sore gums or bleeding.
Are you vaping pg liquid? If so try vaping all VG Liquid, you might be allergic to PG. Another question how many MG of nicotine are you vaping? If its to high (24+) try lowering down the mg of nicotine.
12mg nic is my preferred level. I do have just VG liquid i'll try that for coupla days and see what happens. The Listermint is helping alot. Thanks
Same problem here. Every morning I spit blood for a few minutes. I quit smoking analogs 3½ months ago and it's just been getting worse. Strangely, the less nicotine is in the liquid, the more my gums bleed. Might be related to PG since I tend to vape a lot more if the liquid is low in nicotine. Don't get me wrong but glad to see I'm not the only one. I was sort of getting paranoid. I'll see if mouthwash works and report back if it does. =)
Maybe its our gums healing??? I get sores (like boils) in my inner lower lip. I change tanks daily, use an ego-c and make my own 70vg-30pg juice at 10% Nic. I'd love to see more info on this.

My gums stayed red and tender with occasional bleeding for about 6 months. I also had mouth sores during that time. It's been a little over a year now and my mouth is now fine.
I've found that my gums get inflamed and sore if the vapor is too warm, that is, when I turn the voltage up too high or mimic high voltage vaping with LR attys or cartos. I don't know if that's due to the heat of the vapor itself or that more heat increases the nic hit to gum tissue, or a combination thereof, but I've learned to mostly keep the heat below 6 or so watts except for relatively short periods when I'm craving a stronger nic hit.
Could be:
an allergy to PG. Shake juice before using to mix all ingredients. Also understand PG will coat the throat and mouth area- gargle/ rinse with fresh squeezed lemon and water.
Some have an allergy, like myself, to the sweetener ethyl maltol/ cotton candy. I broke out in cankers and after I stopped vaping the watermelon juice they went away. Gave the juice to a friend and they had no problems.
Also could be some nic juice entering mouth. A Drip Tip helps.

Happy to hear that. I was wondering if it ever stopped. Mine are much better now. They don't bleed like they were still sore though when I vape PG alot.
I've been using LR attys with the ego c's - I'm going to be getting the "ego twist" I'll order some regular attys with it. Looking back at my usage it may just be l little juice in the mouth along with the heat. Thanks Oneida!
For me I think it's heat. I use a 5 volt GLV2. I have just discovered that peroxide mixed with equal parts water helps alot. I gargle with it a few times a day and use a cooler vape when it gets too bad.
My favourite advice is biotene mouth rinse. It is soothing, healing, treats dry mouth, and is worth every penny.
