Vaping pain

[Iem1112]

Been vaping almost 3 weeks now and love it! But I've been getting an awful headache for the past 2 weeks and tooth/gum ache for the past week and I'm pretty convinced it's down to vaping. I was dehydrated so drinking loads of water now but still suffering.
Has anyone else suffered? Did it go away? Could it be down to my juice (I use pg/vg mix at 15 and 16mg)?
I've quit smoking for long periods before and never had head and tooth aches like this so don't think it's down to quitting. Thanks!

Maybe you have a bad tooth and that can also give you a headache. I think I would see the dentist.

Could be pg or vg allergy. I notice my teeth and gums get a little more sensitive when i vape higher pg. But it could also be a flavoring allergy. Try different juices and step down to 12mg nicotine or less

Hello Iem1112
The tooth/gum pain could possibly be normal due to increased blood flow and coming off the cigarette's.
The headache may be a symptom of over nic-ing, have you tried lowering your nicotine levels to see if that helps?

Good luck

Wow, that sounds terrible - hope you feel better soon. For me, after a week of vaping, I have noticed that my mouth and lips are very dry, that is about it. If you have any juice from a different store, maybe try switching over to it.

Wow speedy replies, thank you! Ok my plan is:
1. Order a pg base and a vg base and test
2. Lower Nic (wanted to gradually lower anyway)
3. If 1 and 2 don't work go to the dentist!
4. Update this for any other sufferers

Yes I just posted yesterday about the same thing. I started vaping last week and stopped smoking. I have had the worst headaches and feel really spacy. I was told to drink more which I do drink plenty through the day and evening.
I called the ecig store and she is going to fix me up two bottles one 100% VG of my flavor and one 100% PG to try if that does not work I am going to have to quit vaping as I can not stand these headaches.

I was getting cold & flu like symptoms (sore throat, drippy nose) until I cut down the PG level. I noticed the symptoms would start after my first morning vape and last all day and that's how I knew it was the ejuice I was using. Once I cut down the PG level (about 90/10, vg/pg), the symptoms went away.

Yes, it seems that the high PG can really affect people. I had started with moderate juices, but then when I got vapers tongue, I ordered some juice with higher PG because I thought I'd be able to "taste" it more. Well, it irritated my throat pretty badly.
I now have about 30 juices in a box that I cannot use, but my throat feels fine!

Maybe you could find someone that you could gift or trade those to?

You've been staying hydrated, so that's good. Keep that up.

In addition, try upping your intake of potassium. Bananas are a great source. Just saw a video by Rip Trippers discussing the "side-effects of vaping" and Rip mentioned a visit to his doctor who recommended more potassium to help with his hyper-thyroidism (which was causing headaches and muscle cramps).

You could have a point there, I usually eat a banana in the morning but haven't for a while

if you're experiencing oral discomfort you need to see a dentist

the only thing you have to gain by posting on ECF is a growing sense of regret for not seeing the dentist sooner.
