Hi. Thanks for your reply. What do you mean by your final product is 50/50?

I've also have been experiencing a breakout....which I haven't had in quite a few years. I was attesting it to being dehydrated. I did just recently switch to 70VG/30PG and I will let you know if it changes anything.

I've seen a doctor regarding my breakout and he said my breakouts are mostly around my mouth area. And those are not ordinary acnes, it more of a infection type of acnes (much more serious). He concluded that I must be allergic to vaping. (Though he never say whether it's the PG or VG or even the other ingredients in the juice that I'm allergic to.)

Currently it's my 6th day on 100% VG and there are still fresh acnes popping out.... sigh...

When I very first quit my first week I broke out in a odd "rash" zit things. I even had them on my scalp! I continued to vape and they disappeared as mysterious as they came. I'm on 21 days now and no more bumps! Not sure if it was from quitting smoking or a slight reaction to the PG? I don't think it could have been a PG reaction though because I still vape 50/50 and they are gone now. Maybe your body is going through something similar to what mine did? I'd definitely give it some time and see if it passes. Mine passed within about a week and a half. Eventually everything cleared up. If in time it doesn't pass then I might worry about a reaction. At that point you can try all VG and see if that helps. I'm glad mine eventually passed. Yours might pass to with time. In the meantime try not to touch the areas it could make it worsen. Hope this helps and hope yours passes like mine did.

Yours is probably quit zits.

I've been full-time vaping for a month a month and these horrible acnes are still popping. And mostly are around my mouth area.

I really don't know how long more should I give. My face is 15% destoryed.

If ths goes on I might just really give up on vaping... and hopefully won't go back to analog...

How long have u been vaping and are still breaking out?

 

[OnceUponaDream]

ARGH!! THE BREAKOUTS ARE BACK!!!

I started breaking out 1 month after I started vaping, mostly around my mouth area. And so I switched to 100% vg and it settled now after a couple of weeks. But now... 2 months later, it started breaking out again!!! The last time was around the left side of mouth but this time it's on the right side!!! Why?! I'm using 100% vg still...

Did your doctor prescribe something for your "infection type of acnes (much more serious)." As in an oral or topical antibiotic or some form of treatment for your condition and did you get relief from the treatment.
Did the doctor do full spectrum allergy testing? or at least try to identify a sensitivity to PG/VG?
Do these break outs coincide with any other life stresses or hormonal cycles.

Might be experiencing a reaction to a flavoring component considering most if not all beauty products, lotions, creams, cosmetics, acne treatments, shampoo, toothpaste ect contain PG, many contain VG as well.
An aggressive skin care regime would likely put your skin in more direct contact with PG & VG that you could get from years of vaping.

Some people just can't vape for one reason or another, kinda like some can't eat peanuts, honey or shellfish.

The whole vaping causing zits thing doesn't add up for me. If anything you should make sure you keep your hands and gear clean. I would think contact with juice, and the nastiness that can build up on a drip tip are more likely to cause a breakout than inhalation of vapor.

People shouldn't be so quick to blame things on vaping, it seems after they start some take the opportunity to say the anything going wrong must be vaping's fault.

 

[Kyron]

Well, he might be onto something.

Never had acne when i was a kid. Smoked analog for 25 years. Switched to vape. Got acne, or at least spots especially on my forehead. It might not be acne per say, just a reaction to quitting tar and all the chemicals etc...

2 weeks later, everything was gone and back to normal though.

 

[OnceUponaDream]

Yes. It could be the nasty things that built up on the drip tip. Or it could also be the vapor brushing across my face.

I never had breakouts like these in more than a dozen years. Whatsmore these breakouts are mainly around my mouth and close toeach other.

Couldn't be food or that I didn't clean my mouth after eating, because my eating habit remains the same and if it really were my eating habits, why breakout only now?

I suspect my latest 100% vg juices aren't really 100% vg afterall... might contain some pg inside and therefore the breakout once again. Sigh....

 

[illitirit]

the odd thing is, im in the complete opposite ballpark as you.

I suffered with acne for 10 years with no end of it in sight really, i also smoked for about 13 years. Once i switched to vaping last year and have not touched an analog since my skin has turned pretty much 95% clear. Of course it wasnt just like one day i woke up and my skin was clear, but over the course of this past year I can def say that vaping has cleared my skin.

I would say, give it more time and drink more water.

 

[brantuck84]

I would think the nicotine would cause breakouts not pg/vg

 

[brantuck84]

Blah blah blah

 

[AndriaD]

Oh yeah, and acne is SO much worse than lung cancer from cigarettes.

Hey! I wonder if it was vaping that caused my appendicitis!!

That's the next cdc initiative against teen use of e-cigs. "Tobacco use may give you lung cancer but that's inside. E-cigs cause acne. Do you want acne? "
