I don't know if anybody else gets this but I have been getting a very sore nose with bleeding sores up there. I am almost certain it's vape related it is cold here in uk now and I am outside most of the day then I get home where the air is dry from the central heating being on all day. I have small children so I like to keep the house warm for them but this is getting painful.I also have had bleeding gums which I know is vape related as my brother who also vapes gets it we use an anteseptic mouth wash that keeps this at bay any suggestion welcome also does anyone else experience this the nose could just be that I am blow steam out of it all day at work and its cold did not happen when it was warmer.

Not everything is vape related. It's cold and dry. I blow gobs of dried blood out of my nose every winter until I activate the humidifier and then all is well. Just get a humidifier.

In Chicago you should know its much colder there than here I just though may be its the steam that I am blowing out as that is what vape is but as I said I have the heating on almost constantly for the kids and the air is dry indoors

It may be exacerbated by the vaping but most likely not caused by it. I used to never have issues with cold/dry weather but one year I got sick with the flu and ever since, need the humidifier and extra fluids in the winter. Not only is it dry, but you're also subjecting your body to more extremes which help to enhance the dryness - cold of outdoor air and the heating indoors.

I get mild nosebleeds when the humidity is low and especially if I have the heat on indoors. Have for years, while smoking. This is my experience. I don't believe it's related to vaping. Do use a humidifier while heater is engaged, it will be much better for the children too.

As for your bleeding gums, you should see your dentist. My experience is that my gums *stopped* bleeding soon after I switched.

A few weeks after I had completely switched over to vaping, my gums started bleeding. This went on for a good week! Come to find out, it's a stopped smoking side effect. My circulation had improved is all. I haven't had it since. If yours continues, by all means, get thyself to the dentist!

My nose gets stuffy with heavy VG. My throat gets dry with heavy PG. In the summer I use more VG than pg and in the winter I use more pg than VG. All is well.

I am on heavy vg juice 70/30 vg/pg so that may be it but any higher on the pg and my tanks flood continually so not a lot I can do there still in the early stages of vaping so I am at it all the time more than most I would think may slow down soon as my urges to smoke are going away gums are not bleeding now but they were a couple of weeks ago the mouthwash sorted that out
