Wax Lips

[umjim]

I finally realized what the underlying taste of E-juice is. It reminds me of candy from years ago(maybe they are still made?) called wax lips.Kind of a plasticy taste.I've noticed this in all juice I've tried, even straight VG.Anyway,I don't really care for it.Anybody else feel this way? Any juice that doesn't have this taste?? TIA

Ummm, no. never tasted that with any of the flavors I've tried. Are you using a new atty or has it been broken in yet? New attys have a primer fluid on it to keep them moist. I wonder if that could be the cause?

I know what you mean...it IS the PG and VG. I dont think you will find any liquid without one or the other. It gets all over your face too if you dont blow it out hard.Try wiping your face with an alcohol pad or make-up remover pad after a day of vaping and watch it turn yellowish. Could be I'm just grubby though.lol

I doubt if you are grubby. I have noticed the residue. It's kind of like the same thing I feel from some lotions.
The good news: I have yet had chapped lips.
This had made me wonder: Why my mouth feels dry and irritated every once in awhile? Does vaping dry out the lungs or are they continuously getting lotionized?

Thanks jj2, I was beginning to wonder if my soap wasn't working lol. VG and PG are hygroscopic so I dont know if that would help bring moisture into your lungs or draw it from them. Something to ask a doctor I guess. Cottonmouth is definitely one of the drawbacks of vaping, but at least your not coating it with tar.
