Still getting cankers after a year?

[Mrez]

So a few weeks back I asked if anyone was getting chest heaviness from max vg's and subohm levels...This week I wanted to ask, after vaping for a respectable amount of time (little over 2 years, 1 year off the coffin nails this august), I still find that I get cankers under the tongue, and more worrisome, on or around my tonsils on the side that I routinely vape. I think i had a hot spot in one of my recent builds, or in general just to hot so I'm dialing it down, but has anyone else had this problem after long term vaping?

2 years and no sores. A raw throat is common with some guys using drippers and getting hot spit back but I've not heard of anyone getting them on their lips or in their mouths. Maybe use some alcohol wipes on the tip a couple times a day to clean off any germs that keep causing you trouble. Good luck.

I still get one every now and again. Happens if I get a bit of juice/condensation in my mouth and don't rinse it off right away. It's a PITA but it's just the way my body reacts to it.

Sadly, some people are more prone to canker sores than others. Stress, medications, irritants, oral hygiene, the list of contributing factors go on. My late wife would be plagued by canker sores at least once every two to three weeks, and I could probably count on one hand the number of times I've had them.
I don't think there's any one solution that will work for everyone, but I would suggest you speak to your dentist about them. Your dentist may be able to prescribe something like an oral rinse (My wife had one, I cannot recall what it was) that helped with their frequency and duration.

Thanks for the insights guys. Will look into those rinses..and the wipes.

Don't know whether this'll help or not. I just had a bunch of dental/oral surgery work done so I could get partial dentures. Anyway I get dry mouth and vaping was making it all sorer. Used a product called Biotene mouthwash for dry mouth and mouth sores. Seems to help some.

Just a thought.

+1 on the Biotene! That stuff really helps out my dry mouth. I also take medication that compounds the cotton mouth from vaping. I've never had any issues with canker sores.

Have you had issues with canker sores before you started vaping? You might be having some kind of allergic reaction or something of that nature. I'm not a doctor, but I played one in our high school production of M*AS*H

Anyone ever try consulting a Physician or are we just going to blame everything on Vaping the way medicine has decided to blame Smoking for all disease and illness?

Take back your lives. Forget the unknown, challenge the commonly known. Much of it is made up to control our lives.

Nope. Never had any mouth problems, or heart issues, breathing issues, hearing issues, eye twitching issues, itchy feet, nail growth problems either.

But I'm sure it's vaping related.

Talk to your dentist.

My feet stink since I started vaping.
Ohh wait maybe I can just smell better since off of cigs?


Anyway no sores or anything from vaping. but I do Tootle Vape no high wattage stuff for me.

Peroxide @10% diluted in water is good for oral hygiene and couldn't hurt to try. Just DO NOT swallow it. It will kill you. +1 on talking to a dentist or GP physician. Something is causing them. Personally I would just describe the symptoms and leave out the fact that I vape. There is a tendency to blame vaping for all sorts of things and you are more likely to get a true diagnosis if you make the doc work for it rather than giving him an easy, lazy way out.

I'd head out to a dentist If I had some more time, but I'm heading on vaca at the end of next week, so I doubt it will happen. Ended up hitting the pharmacy and picked up a specific oral rinse, and a gel for direct application. I strongly suspect I had a hard dry hit, or hot spot that irritated my mouth. Same thing happened a few weeks ago with a lemo 2 that I was having build issues with. Kept getting a hot spot in the coil without realizing it, until I dismantled it and checked the coil. Sure enough the legs were getting hot. I've been dipping deeper into the subohm territory on a new high powered box mod..some of those vapes have been very hot...so maybe its a burn that got a bit infected...and of course my lunch this week had a citrus component. I think I cried today

I'm with Crexx..on that one..that's a little long (and play around with your pg/vg ratios, I found when I'm sick with something respiratory I have to go to more pg, than the normal max vg 100% to 80% I normally do) but it might be time to check with a doc.

I'm assuming 'crankers' are mouth ulcers?

I would get one a month when I drunk heavily, which in turn meant I smoked heavily.

I gave up smoking and started vaping just over 3 months ago, due in part to the birth of my son. This has also lead to me drinking a lot less frequently.

What I've noticed is I know get a lot more mouth ulcers. I'm kinf of hoping this is part of the repair cycle the body goes through when you stop smoking, and not directly caused by vaping.

Time will tell.

1 year vaping, no canker sores. I keep all of my stuff (drip tips for example) clean and brush my teeth twice a day. Even with spit back and hot e-liquid going in my mouth, I've never gotten a sore from it. Some people are just more prone to this than others. I'd say this has nothing to do with vaping personally.

 

[coilburner]

Wheres that thread you started a few weeks ago? Recently after starting to sub ohm I have noticed I cant take in a full deep breath without pain in my chest.

 

[stevegmu]

If I ever had any kind of mouth sores, I'd be at my dentist immediately...

 

[LoveVanilla]

May or may not be your situation, but I found my symptoms disappeared within 3-4 days of switching to max vg juice -- and never returned.

I've never had them while vaping, but I did go through a period of about a year where I got them ALL. THE. TIME. I didn't even smoke then, either. I just gradually stopped getting them, no idea why, but I do know how much they hurt and I feel for ya.
