Yep happened to me...google it. Here is the result

When you smoked, you were literally smoking your gums and throat. Your gums and tissues built up a crust just like if you were smoking a salmon.
When you quit smoking that old, hard crusty tissue will slough off and in its place you will get new, baby tissue, almost like when a baby is teething.
Only about 1 out of 30 people that quit smoking or chewing get sore mouth, gums and tongue, but if you are affected by this symptom your mouth will feel like it is hot and on fire.
Don't suffer with this symptom. It may last as long as 8 weeks.
A student in one of my Nicotine Solutions classes had to have her dentures relined because there was that much of a change in her gums from quitting smoking.
Try Amosan to relieve sore mouth, gums and tongue. Amosan is a soothing mouth-rinse. It comes in a powder and you mix it with water and rinse with it and then spit it out. It is very soothing and you will be glad you didn't suffer with this symptom.

Lots of people ask the same question. Vaping dries out your mouth, more if you have high PG juice and less with more VG content. Drink more water to offset the drying. Usually people complain about dry mouth and throat from vaping, especially when they first start. Some have tooth sensitivity. It balances out as you learn how often you need to drink something to offset the drying action.

I've never experienced that, but I'm one who almost always has a sip of water, Coke, or tea here and there throughout the day.
 
Yep it feels kind of like when my teeth were moving after I had my braces removed. I've tried a saltwater rinse today, but I'll look for Amosan. I've vaping Halo longhorn which I've heard is rumored to be around 80% PG so that could be a part of it.

Yes, I had some sore teeth pretty soon after quitting cigarettes; I think it was bottom front teeth. Went away in several days, if I recall.

I'll try not to get into a long discourse, but I've come to realize our bodies tend to react to abrupt changes in our habits, whether it is eating, drinking, smoking, sleeping, exercise, etc. If we do mostly the same things over and over again, we get used to it. Changing a long-standing habit overnight is somewhat of a shock to the system, for whatever reason. It takes a while for the body to adapt.

Any concerns, I would recommend seeing a doctor.

Congratulations on your 15 days and 20 hours! A thousand mile journey begins with the first step. Good luck and keep stepping!

Yeah smoking deadens nerve endings and covers up much damage being done to out teeth and gums. As your body recovers from the damage inflicted by smoking, troubled areas will announce them selves to you. I had to have a bone graft around an implant several months after I started to vape. Good thing to, because who knows how long it would of gone undetected if I was still smoking.

Occasionally I might get a light soreness in my teeth or jawline, throat, or my lungs, but I would guess it's all part of that post-smoker's rehabilitation period, when your body is trying to readjust itself back to normalcy by ridding itself of toxins.

Pay attention to your nic level, PG/VG balance, and how often you vape. All of them play a factor in comfort. I tend to put it down if any of the above becomes problematic. Also, water, water, water.

Although I have not had sore teeth from vaping, I've had something similar from other circumstances. Notably when I was a youngster learning to play the sax. Observe yourself and notice if you touch the drip tip directly to your teeth. If yes, the repetitive tapping/touching of the tip on your teeth with each puff could be aggravating the nerves. Note that it does not require any intentional or aggressive tapping but just the act of the touch. If your dentist takes x-rays in your next visit, he/she should be able to see if the nerve is aggravated. A possible solution is a tip made of hardened rubber or delrine which is slightly more forgiving than glass/pyrex/metal, or a lighter armature with your lips and not making contact between tooth and tip.

Best of luck.
