I have been vaping since November. I noticed a week or two ago that I have some kind of stain appearing on my teeth towards the bottom. Darker in color, not like yellow analog stain

I don't know if it's e-cig related or not.

I've researched and can't seem to find any correlation between e-cigs and teeth stains.

I've been smoking a lot of tastyvapor the last month or so, cafe macchiato and the tobacco are both darker colored juices.

Has anyone had ANY issues like this or heard of any? I'm not assuming it's TV specific...just trying to isolate whatever the hell is causing this.

I've also gone pretty low carb the last two months. And started drinking red wine a few times a week. Those are possibilities here as well.

Oh..and...I brush my teeth. That was the first thought from one of my bestest buds.

I know it's icky....but thoughts? I do NOT like this at all and will be getting to the dentist and trying some teeth whitening asap.

I haven't gotten my PV yet hopefully tomorrow or the next day (I'm way excited) but I was hoping that the yellow teeth and fingernail stain would go away after quitting analog and going PV. So if you smoke inside are there stains on your walls in your place/car/fingernails? If so it may be caused by the PV or Darker Liqs. If not ask your dentist if it could be something in your diet. If your walls are stained let me know so I can veto the vapeing in the house.

Might be a hassle but you could try to brush your teeth immediately after drinking wine and see if the problem stops in its tracks.

NEVER, NEVER, NEVER brush your teeth IMMEDIATELY after eating or drinking ANYTHING acidic!

This causes your enamel to be prematurely worn away! Acids cause the enamel to temporarily soften, (even O.J. folks!), and brushing right away wears it down.

I always had EXCELLENT teeth, (first cavity was at 28) and my teeth were showing a bit of enamel wear and the first question my dentist asked was if I drank wine, (I don't drink at all), and his SECOND was if I drink a lot of juice, (I do), and that was my problem. Luckily, it was caught before any damage was really done.

Here is a sure fire way to test if the juice you use could be coloring your teeth.

Take a drag and blow it though a tissue. If you take a drag from an analog, and blow it though a tissue, it colors it a icky brown yellow color. If you do it with an e-cig, you wont get anything (NORMALLY) Make sure that when you do this your lips are up against the tissue to blow though it. Dont blow on it LOL

Awesome info there, I had never heard of that. Makes sense though. Thanks!! Incidentally, I brush with bar soap, no harsh abrasives or flouride in there. And when the occasional filling falls out, there is no pain like there was brushing with toothPASTE. Soap is used to clean, paste is used for kid projects.

Could well be the wine.
However keep in mind that both coffee and tobacco are well known to stain teeth (and your cloths if you're clumsy) if your supplier is using natural flavors and you are vaping constantly chances are that could be a contributor.

On the good side, if it is the cigarette juice, at least the stains came from something productive.
