Tonsil stones are nasty

[seniorGecko]

So lately I've been vaping pretty hard. 100% vg juice with a vivi nova. I've noticed that I have tonsil stones dislodge daily. Been searching thru the threads but haven't read upon a definitive answer on why some are getting tonsil stones. My theory is that vaping drys out the mouth reducing saliva, saliva kills bacteria, tonsil stones occur more often because of increased bacteria. But I'm no doctor. Anyone else know why this happens??? tonsil stones and bad breath is not good for my dating life.

Wikipedia, the font of all knowledge, says they're calcium deposits?! I'd go see your doctor and see about what they can do... it sounds really unpleasant though! Good luck and let us know how you get on!x

I get those sometimes and did while smoking too. I'm no doctor either but I took a clean ear syringe, the bulb type and irrigate the tonsils with mouthwash and they blast right out. Not had them for months.

Had to look that one up too That was interesting, gross but interesting. I've had those but never knew what it was. I can't say that vaping has caused more. I got them before ever starting to vape and haven't noticed any increase. Are you brushing your tongue more often since vaping? I have always brushed my tongue and notice that my gag reflex actually dislodges them. EWWWWW the subjects we discuss. But hey, I now know what those things are now!!!!!

This has been the only negative side effect from vaping...I never had them before but now have them all the time and they are the worst!

Ive been gargling with Listerine twice a day now and that seems to help but they still show up quite often. Usually just push on my tonsil with my (clean) finger and pop em out.

Gross right?
