Sticky face...

[jdood]

Hi All !!! Been goin for almost 2 weeks now, and ive been noticing that my face feels stickyLOL
Is it me? Am I psychotic here? LOL Has anyone else had this problem ? Or is the vapor just collecting in my goatee??
Just thought I'd throw that one out there!!!

My beard isn't sticky, but I've only got one week under my belt. What else you been doing?

 

[tat2d4life]

maybe you are overfilling, maybe you are drawing to hard.. or if you have vg joose , it could be gunking your goatee

 

[zerominusone]

I've been at this vaping thing for a while and my goat-tee isn't greasy. Don't know what to tell ya.

Lots of humidity there? If so, then its likely causing the vapor to collect in your hair. Now, remember that im not trying to insult your hygene here bud ... But I grew up in Wyoming where it's nice n dry, but I lived in south Dakota for 7 years and the humidity in the summer was unbearable ( august of 06 got up to 135 f and 90% hum and most of the locals still think global warming is a giant conspiracy!!! Idiots...). So much so that on really hot and humid days I would shower 3 times a day (at least) instead of my usual two. My skin would feel all sorts of sticky and nasty that it drove me bonkers. Also started using actual shampoo on my facial hair to combat what you describe! Seems like that would be bad for your skin right? Wrong. Actually found out (my gf had a staph infection) that such behavior keeps ever present bacteria at bay. Ever get bumps on your rump from driving too much etc? Minor staph infection. Quite common but usually solves itself. So not to be a ....., but maybe wash it more? I know it sounds bad but its the only thing I can think of...

Yea, it has been pretty sticky here... Ive noticed it not to be as bad since the humidity dropped.. and hardly notice it with the air conditioning on!!
but i also think that its newb technical issues LOL ive ended up with a few mouthfuls of joose so i think im prolly sucking to hard.

 

[jdood]

oh and no offense taken on the hygene LOL

I grew up in South Dakota - it's always like that in the Dakotas/Minnesota/Iowa region in the summer. You were just spoiled by dry heat before you moved there. People who have lived in the region for a long time just expect weather like that, though I don't think we really ever get used to it. (I don't remember ever hearing about 135 degrees ANY summer though....sure you aren't exaggerating just a bit?) We also know to expect thunderstorms with snow in the winter and 50+ mph winds just about any time of year. Welcome to the upper midwest.

Have no beard, so don't know what to tell you on that one. However, I've noticed some juice will dry sticky just on the PV. Presumably some of that occurs in vapor. Sweeter ones and/or coffee flavors are like this, in my limited experience. Probably others out there as well. If that's the case with your main, maybe try switching juice.

And I do mean that it dries sticky, not that it's thicker liquid. VG liqs can still dry not sticky.

When I first tried juices with VG in them, I noticed that my hands, face and hair started to feel slippery/greasy. I found that if just a tiny amount of VG juice leaked from a cart or I got some juice on my hands while refilling, it's easy to get a buildup of VG on me. I also get a film on the inside of my car windshield if I've been vaping heavily in traffic. I just keep my hands away from my face/hair and wash my hands with Dawn dish detergent to get rid of excess VG juice on my hands when necessary.

Used to the psychotic winters (It freakin snowed here once on the 4th of July, I you not!), just don't care for the humidity. Its no exaggeration, however:
2006 North American heat wave - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Temperatures around Mobridge reached 130+ (not sure on exact number, so I guessed). I remember the day well, I was sitting inside, enjoying the nice dark curtains of my room, and the A/C with a sprinkler on the unit to keep it from seizing up on me! Had no plans to go outside, but my drinking buddy just HAD to take me over to his friend's house... Sooo I wound up going and upon stepping from earth to the surface of the sun through my doorway, I felt that I was might drown inside this oven! And that's the day I met one of the truest friends I've ever had the luxury to know! Hard to forget that!

LOL!! Had to use a sprinkler to cool the A/C - that sounds about right I can't believe no one in my family ever mentioned the 130+ temps. The first thing out of my mother's mouth every time she calls is the latest around the state weather update. (it was 100 degrees in Pierre yesterday...just fyi

 

[TraumaNurse]

Well, I don't have a beard, or much experience, but I can attest that the VG is mighty slippery stuff! My ego T just leaked some juice between the atty and batt....messy! And greasy.

 

[poetofisis]

Yeah, was forecasted somewhere around the 100's in Moorcroft couple days ago. Didn't feel quite that hot, but still... Too much! I get heat exhaustion/stroke far too easily anymore. Had it twice, and once you've gotten it, you're far more likely to drop! Back to school for me. I've had enough beating myself to death out in the weather for nothing but a paycheck... Stay cool, bud!

That last statement sounded kinky, I'm starting to get turned on by this thread!

 

[jdood]

haha Thats what she said!!

 

[AlwaysVegas]

After two weeks here (and I've quit analogs before...an before vaping)...I did experience a light-headedness and then the awesome return of taste and smell. I'm sure everyone has somewhat differences though.

 

[jdood]

congrats, AlwaysVegas!!
When I started i think I got a high nicotene juice and ive been using it like a pacifier LOL I was SUPER Jittery . cuz i vape more than i smoked LOL But now that ive quit cigs most of my favorite foods really taste awful!!
And the smell of cigs almost make me ill, especially in the morning when i let the dogs out, and the neighbor is outside smoking at the same time

BTW!! Love your pic!! thats one of my favorite movies!!
