Hey everyone,

I am new to this site and was just wondering if anyone has suffered with hair thinning? Since vaping my hair has gone really thin and even have such thin areas at the side of my head where you can see my scalp. Plus my scalp is red and itchy! Anyone else had this? I have a kanger tech evod2, I'm also having a few dizzy spells but only on 6mg/3mg of nicotine with a 50/50 mix of pg/vg. I really don't want to quit vaping it has been a life saver and I actually prefer it to cigarettes. I recently had blood tests to rule other things out and it was all normal. Anyone had this or heard of anyone? Not sure what I can do any suggestions?! Thank you. For reading my post.

Go to an allergist and have them run their battery of tests to see if you are somehow allergic to PG or VG or maybe some of the ingredients in the flavors of the juices that you vape on.

My hair has started to thin but I can't attribute it to vaping but rather getting up there in years.

If you already saw a doctor, go get a 2nd opinion. Going to an allergist instead of a general doctor would also be a good idea. Whatever it is, don't just assume it's vaping, especially if it happened right after you started vaping. A lot of things take time to build up and cause issues, and while it could be vaping, it could also be something serious.

On top of allergy tests, I would do a thyroid check if they didn't do that. Hope they find the cause, don't self diagnose it. Good luck.

A wife and 3 daughters. 2 female dogs and a female cat. My guess is even the dang goldfishes are female. I forgot what hair was like.

OMG you just described my life...although I have picked up a couple of grandsons in the deal. I always thought the hair loss was age but now I know the real reason.

My hair is thinning from vaping as well but I attribute mine to arguing with people about vaping, going over battery specs and the frustration of waiting on vape mail ( I'm impatient ).


LOL, thanks, I was thinking the same thing.....

Stress can cause hair loss. I know it did that to me for a while.

Stress from quitting and starting vaping , ya think? all the opinions, all the arguments, usually having nothing to do with the original post.....
