Vapes and mouth ulcers

[kiwilander]

ulcers. Bloody ulcers. Never used to get them but about 5 weeks ago they started popping up I had about 6 in my mouth at once stage. Doctor did blood tests all seems right with my health. I’ve been vaping for a year so it’s not this bullshit. Because I gave up smoking and it’s withdrawals because had been 10/11 months. So ulcers and spots on my tongue. Does anyone know what exactly caused this in vaping and how to control it. Could it be the fact that I’m vaping and 80watts with my tfv12 prince?? I have good dental hygiene so it’s not from not looking after my oral hygiene. Help );

yeah, I think it may contribute .... I never had them as a smoker and I probably get 2 or 3 a year now.

clearly not as serious as you and they seem to go pretty quickly. .... I wondered if it was certain flavourings?

 

[smplmind]

Could be flavourings. Eating fruits like cherries/strawberries can cause them in some people so possibly flavours like that?

For the majority of people it's a no, but, sometimes, I have heard people get the odd one or two

PG kills bacteria while VG feeds them. Try a higher PG juice and see if there's an improvement.

It might still be the bullshit, it takes quite a
while for your body to recover from the battering you gave it with the fags.

I think the biggest problem with these kind of questions is that obviously everyone is different and everyone's bodies react differently to different drugs, chemicals, foods etc etc.


.... and in my case was smoking stopping me getting mouth ulcers? ... according to this NHS page

https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/mouth-ulcers/

they are common, but as a smoker I don't ever remember having one, so maybe the occasional one I'm getting now is 'normal' and nothing to do with vaping.

 

[zouzounaki]

I would imagine that puffing a vape at 80w might have the potential to cause irritation, though. It must be quite hot.

 

[Simon G]

Sometime they're triggered by things you can't always control, for example:

stopping smoking – people may develop mouth ulcers when they first stop smoking

I've changed my vote to no, I'm not convinced I wasn't looking at this the wrong way round.
