Vaping and blood clotting quicker?

[El Diablo Marrón]

Hey all,

Was wondering if anyone knows if vaping and cause your blood to clot quicker?

I ask because I donate plasma 2 times a week and i have noticed that my blood clots very quickly over the past year i have been vaping.
So quick in fact that it sometimes clots in the tubing of the machine and blocks it from returning my blood to me.

I drink near a gallon of water based fluids a day and a vegetarian and am told I am in perfect health for my age.

I know I heal very very quickly, I have cut my fingers down to the bone before and they have healed overnight and have non scars.
So mayby the quick clotting is something normal for my body?

But I have been donating plamsa for about 19 years off and on, and have only noticed the quick clotting for the past 8 months or so,
So this is why I am asking.

So what you're saying is that vaping turned you into Wolverine? That's AWESOME! But really I've noticed this myself, but I always thought it was because smoking tobacco restricted blood flow and made it harder for your body to heal. I've noticed that if I burn myself by grabbing something hot the mark is only there for two days instead of a week like it used to be. Hmmmm...

Na i have always healed quick all my life..but the clotting in the plasma machine line is new.
any deep cuts I have gotten even while smoking healed by the next day.
In fact over the years i have healed so quick that sometimes the ER would have to reopen a wound because they said they had to clean it..if you never have had a wound reopened by a dr. It REALLY hurts!

I was just curious about PG and VG's effect on the blood.

Update on my blood..from the time of my first post I have clogged the line a few time..and today they couldn't even get a line going in either arm..and in the second arm, when they pulled the needle out. the blood inside came out and looked like a bloodworm.

I'm not knowledgeable with blood to much...but does blood clot within 2 minutes?

There are several disorders that I know cause this. One is hereditary and my friend didn't know she had it till her second child was born and she got serious clots. I've not noticed any difference in mine over the years. I would seriously ask a doctor about this one. Blood tests are simple and generally not to expensive but clotting is deadly. She's nearly lost her leg and life a couple times. Just explain the difference in your blood when you donated. Seriously, PLEASE, get checked. It's usually easily corrected with diet and blood thinners.

Did the nurses taking your blood seem alarmed? Perhaps you should check with your doctor to rule out any clotting disorders.

I would think - or at least hope - that if the observed issue when donating plasma were of any medical concern, someone would have mentioned it and urged you to see your Doctor about a problem. Beyond that, this sounds like somewhat pointless speculation as I don't believe it's ever been tested in the realm of "vaping equals..." under any circumstances. (Please let's not give the FDA something else to sputter about. They might see this and posit your speculation as a "legitimate health concern".)

I don't know why vapers tend to see almost anything going on with their bodies as somehow vaping related once they quit smoking but we seem to do that. From all the folks chiming in with coughs, sore throats to dry skin who end up having a cold, the flu or are just getting on in years and need to use more moisturizer. To the more recent - and much more serious - inquiry wondering if bloody stools were somehow vaping related. Jeezy peezy - we don't have much at all going on regarding research, but we still have MD's that ought to be asked questions about our health on occasion.

I have no clue if "vaping = faster clotting." For all I know - it's winter. You could be dehydrated. Only a health care professional will really know for certain.

They say things to each other when i have a problem.Like "He's clots quick" or "better hurry, he's a quick clotter" .but have never said anything to me about seeing a doctor. They have doctors there all the time as well.

I'm not trying to feed anything to the FDA..I was just curious if anyone else noticed something like this.

I drink way more liquid than the average person due to vaping and because I donate plasma.
So I know it's not dehydration.

If your vaping your still getting nicotine. Unless you are vaping 0mg. Smoking can affect people differently. However, you may want to see your primary doctor.

this is quite interesting. I have a cat who loves to fight with my hands so i usually have a number of light cuts/scratches on me. something i noticed is that once i switched from smoking to vaping, the cuts healed noticeably faster. i mean really much faster. I assumed that the many horrible chemicals i was inhaling with tobacco smoke caused my wounds to heal slower. while i still believe that's the reason it would be interesting to see if a non-smoker who started nicotine free vaping noticed any differences in healing time. who knows, maybe inhaled glycerin or propylene glycol could have a positive effect on wounds.

Apart from PG and VG, there are a plethora of different artificial flavours inside e-juice which nobody knows how is effecting us. Eating these flavours is different to vaping them.

If health issues do crop up in the future, how are they going to work out which flavour caused what?

It's from improvement in circulation. Better circulation helps your body respond to wounds by getting clotting factors, platelets, as well as white blood cells to the site of injury.. Cigarettes clamped down vessels not allowing for effective blood flow to the capillaries...
