So i went to the dentist today for a cleaning, which got me thinking: I know cigarettes stain teeth (and hands) but I couldn't find any information about vaping. I know some juices contain corn syrup and citric acid in them among other things. Any long time vapers out there that can chime in on the effects of ejuice on teeth?

I really hope no juices contain corn syrup and if they do that the vendor is willing to pay for all the cartos/attys that it will kill so quickly. (I mix my own and I cannot imagine anyone who mixes would do anything so stupid.)
But, to the main question, my teeth have never been better or cleaner. See for yourself. Take the largest drag you can of your vape and blow it through a white facial tissue. Then try that with smoke, of any kind, and compare the differences yourself. That byproduct of combustion commonly referred to as Tar is really good at leaving stains and I have none in my vape.

The last time I went to the Dentist for routine cleaning my Oral Hygienist said, "What have you been doing your teeth are so much cleaner?" I just reached in my shirt pocket and pulled out my 510 with a Carto on it. She told me that her aunt started vaping and loves it and that indeed my teeth showed much less stain vs. when I used analogs. BTW -no cavities and not much plaque! "Look Ma! No analogs!"
Haha!
I went to the dentist yesterday to have my first cleaning since I quit analogs.
Now that my teeth have no cig stains on them, I was wondering the same thing about possible stains from vaper!
Thanks for asking the question, CaptainMagnificent!

While I started when I was smoking, I continue to rinse with 1 capfull x 2x per day, ~3 mintues with 3% hydrogen peroxide. Maybe that helps with coffee stains.
When I was smoking even though I brushed every day and flossed twice per day had to go for a cleaning every 3 months. I now go every 6 months and they are astounded by the change in my oral health. Cleaning is now so much easier, quicker and less painful. Teeth are much whiter without that "dark" edge around my teeth. Dentist encourages me to vape in his office. His real concern was the possibility of oral cancer.
I haven't had cleaning since I've quit analogs. For now I don't see any staining and still boast with my pearly-whites 
I had mine laser whitened in celebration of quitting analogs. They're seriously still as white as the day I had them done.
Side note: I have acrylic nails (The ladies will understand this) with french tips, as an analog smoker, my pointer and middle finger's nails would always turn yellow (gross), now they stay clear. Simple pleasures.

Hoosier, if you look at the ingredients list here Highbrow Vapor Ingredients List you can see that sucralose (splenda) and corn syrup are mentioned. I wrote up a blurb about why I didnt think it was a problem (boiling temperature, concentrations, etc...) but i got logged out for idling too long. Anyways, in my experience, I have had no problems with these juices in terms of burning taste or what not. I usually use my cartos for a week or so before I toss em. By the way, that tissue idea is ingenious! Im trying it as we speak!
When I smoked analogs, my teeth had started to stain pretty bad, I kept telling myself no it's not from smoking, you're just not brushing weell enough, but sure enough within a week of switching to vaping, the stains had practically dissapeared( I didnt think they'd go that fast, I was actually pretty amazewd)
Glad you started this thread, I was wondering the same especially with some of the dark colored juices....
I kinda worried about dark juices at first too, but two of my main juices, logis smoke's Whiskey and Vape Dudes Chocolate Ice are pretty dark, and as I said I've noticed only the opposite, my stains from cancer sticks are dissapearing and my teeth look better than they have in years
I can think of one complication from vaping. It's that it dries out your mouth.
Which will mean more bacteria build up and possibly more staining etc. depending on what you eat and drink.
Chewing gum would probably solve this. It's the only way I can keep my mouth not dry.

Smoking analogs toughens your gums up. I have been going to a periodontist for routine cleanings every 3 months for years due to gum disease. Vaping will not hurt your gums or stain your teeth. My teeth get stained from hot tea (which is the biggest staining of teeth) and coffee and soda. Analogs toughen your gums though, that I know, which is not good. My periodontist loves that I am vaping now because I talked to him about it
Oh, and red wine is very bad for staining teeth. oops! Did I admit to that?!?! lol.
Vapeing clear liquids will not stain your teeth. The tar in the cigarettes is what stained your teeth..same thing that turned your lungs black. This is not to say your teeth will not stain in the future from other things...ie red wine, tea, coffee, poor oral hygiene, medications, metabolic stains...yada yada.
Peroxide=oxygenating rinse...bacteria that cause perio disease are mainly anerobic bacteria(live in the absence of air)...the idea was to introduce oxygen into the oral cavity to kill these bacteria...the addition of baking soda was used as a desicant=to dry out and reduce swelling of inflamed tissue. This technique was called the Keyes technique. FYI be very careful using full strength peroxide(cut 50/50 with H20)too much too often can cause a condition known as "hairy tongue" which actually looks like you have hair on your tongue, pretty gross!

About a month into vapeing this very thought piqued my curiosity and I did this very experiment with my new PV and the one and only time I took 2 drags off a cigarette (didn't even inhale, it was so disgusting) in 14 months! Conclusion...you are 100% correct.
