Sore throat, sores?

[JohnnyElsewhere]

So, I've been vaping for a few months, now. Going to get my first box mod over the weekend (batteries and such are arriving today! So I'll be all ready when my mod gets here.)

But, I've noticed that by the end of the day, my throat is all scratchy,almost to the point where it feels sore. I'm assuming this is normal, since you ARE inhaling vapor that's potentially warm, and all that jazz.

The next thing is sores. Now; I'm not sure if the one that I have now is caused by vaping, but it's on the inside o my right cheek near my wisdom teeth. Like I said, I'm not sure if it's caused by vaping, but I just want to make sure.

Have you guys ever had to deal with sore throats/tongue/cheek sores when vaping? And again, is it a normal occurrence?

Discuss sore throats and the like! Thanks, guys.

It could be your juice or the device you're putting the juice in to. Depending on the juice, if I'm not putting enough voltage to it I notice my teeth feel like they need to be brushed.

I have not experienced this but good to know! Thank you for posting the question

I do know that I have to drink a good bit more fluids or my throat hurts from what feels like dryness. My lips also feel dry and seem to get chapped easily.

I have not had sores in my mouth, but that is listed as a side effect of quitting analogs. Not sure if it is directly related to the vaping for anyone but either way I hope it clears up for you soon.

If your throat problems don't subside soon with drinking extra water or if it gets worse, try some organic vg juices.. not just vg but organic pg free. Try it for a week or 2 and see if that helps. PG rips my throat up awful. You can try Virgin vapor, Vaperite, bombdrops Kona cream is awesome for organic juice. Sometimes sore throat is just temporary but if it's not you need a back up plan. Good luck!

I had some occurrences of mouth sores back in Dec/Jan. However, I was using a acidic type e-juice. Granny smith apple. In addition, I was toking on a LR mega atty. My dentist tried to scare me with the word cancer. It ended up to be just a burn. I went to another dentist for a second opinion after the lesion(s) healed. (She stated it was most likely a burn)

It can take up to 3 weeks to heal. I use Manuka honey and baking soda for those occasions. Juices I found to cause irritation for me. Cinnamon and apple. Sometimes e-liquid may have alcohol added. (Which could cause irritation with some folks.)

I get mouth sores when I vape high-PG juices at 5V.

I can vape anything at 3.7V and high-VG juices at 5V with absolutely no problem.

Chain vaping like it's going out of style for nearly 3 years. I breathe more vapor then air. I do not get a sore throat from it. With that said. Cheap liquids and crappy disposables do hurt my throat. Not from prolonged use (I would never) but almost instantly. Get good stuff = no sore throat for me.

I've been using a LR 510 atty, which I have been using constantly for about a week. It gets extremely hot, but I let it cool for an hour or two before I start vaping again (at 3.7v). But thanks for the info.

I live in a desert, so I should be drinking more water, anyway. lol

I just recently got ulcers on the roof of my mouth, I believe it is from tart & sour that I added to juice, I've cut it way back & it does not hurt like it did..though not completely gone yet.

I vaped MadVapes Chinese menthol 24MG for my first 3 months and never had a problem. I bought Halo Ice, vaped for 2 days and my entire mouth was covered with sores. I went back to the Dekang from MadVapes and I've been fine ever since (this was about 7 months ago).

For me I think it was that Halo is 100% PG. I called and asked. The Dekang from MadVapes, according to them, is VG.

I agree with the organic juice suggestion. Natural juice may help as well.

VapeRite is good stuff.

Strange thing, for several people, smokeing analogs has protected us from getting mouth sores, so just quiting the analogs we are now subjected to getting them.
Any type of irritation can cause them.

Spicy food, Acidic food, biteing the cheek, a tooth rubbing the wrong way, dental work, certin tooth pastes, the list can go on.

With our vapeing we have a few aditional causes. 100% PG juice can do it for some. Some say a 50/50 or even a 80pg/20vg blend is enough to keep them away.
Organic juices areVG as far as I know, so these would help, but any VG base should work.
Splashing Juice can do it to. Over filled cartos, overheating some juices that let e-liquid into our moths have seem to make sores appear.
Sometimes it can even be the flavors, Cinnimon could do it, so can some clove/apple (some of these have cinnimin in them).
Its sometimes really hard to pin down, and people can be affected differently.

So far, it's been there for a few days. I've been vaping my usual menthol all PG juice from Awesome Vapor, and I've never had a reaction to it before. Usually I get tongue sores every once in a while, but this is the first time it's been on the inside of the mouth. Right near my molars on the right side.

It's extremely hard to eat, but only hurts when it comes in contact with food or any liquid at the moment. Is there a remedy that anyone knows of? I've searched Google, and all of the remedies seem like they were pulled from how to remedy a sore throat.

When I started I got a sore throat and the corners of my mouth sore so I started mixing my own juice useing vg and lorann oils high consentrate flavors and the sore throat and sore corners of my mouth went away.
I never got accual sores in my mouth.
You may want to have a doctor check you out to be on the safe side.

My first mouth sores came about a month to a month and a half after quitting analogs, some have reported longer times.

Well; I did some research, and it could be due to a lot of things. Stress, diet, calcium deficiency .. I don't know if it's related to vaping or not, but I hope it isn't.

Gotta start taking better care of myself!

That is the ticket, I see a lot of things attributed to vaping that very well may not be at all. If it does not go away see your doc. I am not a doctor but I play one on ECF
