i have been vaping consistently every day for the past 6 months (never smoked a cigarette in my life) with no pain or problems that I can attribute to vaping. Recently I have had a terribly sore throat and a bad cough. I know these sound like the symptoms of being sick, however, I don’t feel sick. Last night I had a bad bloody nose. I don’t want to have to quit vaping but If the drawbacks are this bad I don’t think it’s worth it. I was wondering if any of you have experienced something like this or what you would do if you were in my situation. Thanks!

Did you get a new juice or change ratios in your old one? Are you vaping more than normal? In any case, I would stop and go see a doctor. It may or may not be related but I have never heard of any bleeding associated with vaping at all. A few have reported sore throats but found they have a sensitive to pg. Or a flavor.
Are you using nicotine?

Have you been sick since you quit smoking? I find it completely different now not even close to what it was before :X
He says he hasn't ever smoked.
OP, the bloody nose could be because it's dried out a bit which vaping does so to people. Or it could be the pressure in your nasal cavity from coughing.
One possibility is a PG sensitivity. Those tend to develop over time. One good way to test is quit vaping for a while since you can,(I assume you’re vaping zero nic) and see if it goes away
Hi and welcome,
With so little useful information it is hard to determine what may be the problem.
Maybe you just want a little attention.... That's cool too.
If you have medical problems or questions...See a Doctor.
Cheers

I have never experienced anything like this.
What would I do if I were in your situation ? Go to the doctor.
I love vaping, but only because I use it to stay off of a 40+ year nasty habit. Like Classwife said - go to the doctor. And I'd quit vaping - breathing plain air is best.
These symptoms sound like they need to be addressed FIRST by a doctor. You may not "feel sick" but that doesn't mean you AREN'T sick. You have symptoms that sound fairly unrelated to vaping.
I would certainly stop vaping in the meantime until you see your doctor, to rule out any problems. IF your doc gives you the okay to return to vaping, sometimes sensitivities develop over time. I did not become sensitized to PG initially, but I certainly am now.
But the time to ASK about all this is AFTER seeing a doctor, first.

Agree. If it was just a sore throat I could see ruling out vaping before a Dr. But I can't link a bloody nose to vaping unless you're blowing a lot of vapor out of your nose.
Some possibilities for bloody nose causes are not something you want to delay getting diagnosed.
Make a doctors appointment.
Nobody has said vaping is 100% safe. Many of us use it to stay away from tobacco, which IS 100% harmful. For someone to start vaping even though they never smoked a cigarette in their life makes me wonder. In this particular case, it seems that it wasnt the best idea to start vaping. And then, on top of that, join a vape forum and ask for medical advice doesnt show much serious thought either. If you have a medical issue, go to the doctor.
I wish there was vaping when I was 14 that I could've vaped instead of smoking. I probably could've quit when I wanted to at 18 or the 9 other times I tried before vaping was around and functioning better.
I wouldn't chastise non-smokers for vaping, it's even better harm reduction if it keeps people from ever harming themselves.
I get wanting to vape. Just because I started vaping to quit smoking doesn't mean that's the only reason to vape. Hell I only started smoking because I loved the smell of my Dad's Kool's when he opened a fresh pack.
Welcome and glad you joined.
Vaping is not for everyone.
Yeah, I agree, but - 28 is kind of late to start habits like this, if you ask me. I'd already tried to quit smokes a dozen times by then. And if I'm bleeding, even at 28, joining a forum to see about it isn't my first course of action. I know, kind of harsh. Of course - nobody asked me, so....there's that.
Although we are all doctors and perfectly capable of diagnosing your problem, we are off the clock.
Best suggestion is to make an appointment with a doctor who is ON the clock.

But $220 for 5 minutes to diagnose a nose bleed seems kind of steep. Unless the nose bleed is leukemia and you catch it early instead of blowing it off as "just a nose bleed".
