I had a similar issue the first time I quit. Back to the smokes and everything cleared up. This time around I have only used 100% VG and no problems at all..
I've quitted smoking! Haha. I've not touched a single stick of analog for 2 months now.
But this breakout issue seriously makes me want to give up vaping and go back to smoking.
Oh... I drink plenty of water everyday and take care of my skin care routine as I'm vain. I do facial masks frequently and also apply on skin care products every night.
That's why this breakout issue is making me feel very depressed...
you may be having a reaction to certain juices or the mix..
not everyone is the same and we all had to find our niche to make it enjoyable for us.
Some people can't use VG at all and some can't use PG..some can have a little and some can use whatever they want..
Some can't use certain flavors..
We're there any foods that you could not eat, or that may have made you break out or itch?
i would try experimenting..try some different mixes to see what may be causing it..it could be just too much PG or VG or food flavoring or just your body cleaning..
Endocrine/Hormonal System (Primarily Thyroid) is self regulating .....Acne is a manifestation of it
I'm on my 11th day without stinkies. I have to say I'm seeing my skin is more softer, fine lines around eyes are vanishing 
Not sure if it's vape related or that I'm drinking more water to stay hydrated...
Oh and I'm 42 and yes I still get the occasional break out.

+1 Sound advice. I know a person who is PG sensitive gets rashes and general itchiness all over. After some testing His Doctor told him he had the sensitivity to PG he switched to VG only juice and is now happy with vaping. Just as an FYI When I tried the Patch I also broke out in rashes at the patch sites, everyone I know who used them had the same issue some has increased heart rate as well.
Take some time to diagnose your issues you may find an easy solution other then Smoking. Talk to your Doctor If your giving up smoking he will be more then happy to help troubleshoot your problem
Cut back on the skin care products. Honestly, when it comes to skin care, less is more!
But it might be hormonal, even if you are a guy. Witch hazel and tea tree helps to treat the current outbreak, otherwise it is a waiting game until your body has got used to not smoking and settles down. Painful. I know. My skin got bad initially but is much better now, although no longer oily. That's after 4 months of not smoking. I had oily skin all my life. Now it's just "normal".

Tea tree oil and sulfur are especially like magic for getting rid of zits. Clay masks help as well. If you must have chemical help, it's all in Stridex wipes. Salicylic acid is awesome for clearing and preventing break outs, but where most companies and consumers go wrong is putting it in cleansers. It has to be allowed to stay on your skin to actually work. No matter what you do, make sure you're moisturizing after cleansing/using the wipes too. Dry skin will just aggravate acne.
I don't know about others but my skin changed after quitting, so I had to change my skin care regimen.
You may also want to try switching to Dove or the orange Neutragena soap at least temporarily if your cleanser contains sodium laurel sulfate.

Thanks for all your replies. All of you have really been very encouraging.
I'm 99% sure my breakouts are caused by vaping. I've been vaping for about 6 weeks now.
I'm hoping it is a initially reaction and will be cleared up soon. But it doesn't seems to be the case as I'm getting more acnes now.
Currently the juice I'm using is a Mint flavour with 40 PG / 60 VG.
I've ordered a 100% VG juice and need to probably wait a couple of weeks more before it arrives... sigh.

Well Ill be! Congrats on the two months. Hand in there then.... And dont wash your face too much!
Alright! My 100% VG juice finally arrived! I'll be switching to it.
This is probably my last chance of solving this breakout issue. It's really causing me to be on the very verge of depression...
I will give a few weeks to see how it goes. If this 100% VG still doesn't solve my breakout issue, I will most probably quit vaping.....
Wish me good luck.

Last week I got my first two pimples in over 30 years! Small price to pay to be off the smokes IMO.
Well, for me I consider a huge price to pay. I'm vain and I take care of my skin. So therefore this breakout is making me really depressed.
Just tried out 100% VG. Thick... and more vapor... but the flavour is disappointing. It's almost tasteless.....
A big yes. PMS acne right on the side of my mouth where I usually vape. So annoying. :-/
I certainly wasn't trying to make light of your distress. A lot of us take care of our skin and it has nothing to do with vanity but since you describe yourself as vain you may want to consider premature aging from smoking. Pimples are a few days, premature aging is forever unless you go under the knife, even then it's iffy. Hope you find a solution soon. Good luck.

No worries...
I do understand that smoking cigarettes cause premature aging. And one of the main reasons of my skin care routine is to fight premature aging. But now it is breakout of acnes...
Sigh. It's destroying my face, and making feel very embarrassed. The acnes grew mainly around my lips and chin area making me looks 'dirty'. Like someone who ate wrong food or someone who doesn't wipe his mouth after eating... which is not the case...
Been vaping 100% VG for 3 days now... and my acnes does not seems to clear up. In fact there are still acnes popping up around my mouth area

Feeling extremely depressed now.
