	Hey everyone,
</p>

<p>
	I just saw a presentation from Dr. Nathan Jackson from the University of New Mexico. He has developed an <abbr title="One of the components inside an electronic cigarette which functions with low heat to turn e-liquid into vapor so it can be inhaled.">atomizer</abbr> that is essentially heat free. His study shows that the vapor his <abbr title="One of the components inside an electronic cigarette which functions with low heat to turn e-liquid into vapor so it can be inhaled.">atomizer</abbr> produces contains no metallic particles in comparison to current atomizers. Just thinking about breathing in metal makes by want to try it. If the hit is equal to current vapes, I will definitely switch. What are your guy's thoughts?<br />
	<br />

<p>
	Hi all. I've been a smoker for 25 years and been vaping on and off for about 4 years. I love the idea of stopping smoking to completely vape full time but I have an issue I was wondering if anyone else has that could help me...
</p>

<p>
	If I vape after a couple of days I get pins and needles only when I am asleep. This wakes me because of the pain 4 or 5 times a night.
</p>

<p>
	This happens if I smoke just the vape or vape and also have a couple of normal cigarettes in the day also . I only have a weak liquid 3mg so don't think I am overdosed on it...
</p>

<p>
	Any ideas welcome please.
</p>

<p>
	Thanks 
</p>

<p>
	Quit the cigarettes about 4 months ago and started using a pod / nic salt <abbr title="The act of inhaling vapor from an electronic cigarette.">vape</abbr>. Never looked back and never had another cigarette. Forgot how good it was to breathe!
</p>

<p>
	After about 2 - 3 months I started getting a bit congested again, similar to when I was smoking, in fact I find I have to use a decongestant to get stuff up off my lungs. Am I doing something wrong? I have a Nord 2, 0.8 <abbr title="The standard unit of electrical resistance. A lower number indicates lower resistance and therefore faster heating.">ohm</abbr> coil which I set between 10-14 watts. Use a cola nic salt 40 mg. 
</p>

<p>
	It seems like to me I maybe inhaling raw <abbr title="Another name for e liquid.">juice</abbr> and it is building up in my lungs. I am not sure of that just guessing. Is it better to use a higher wattage to vaporize the <abbr title="Another name for e liquid.">juice</abbr> better, or a lower wattage or? If I am honest I probably started off about 150 - 200 puffs a day. Now increased to maybe 300? Any advice or comments welcome and appreciated
</p>

<p>My nose wont stop running. I hope this will not be a forever thing. at first it was dry and I was told by my doctor to use a cool mist air purifier so i did. and, then I was to also spray saline to help with the dryness due to nose bleeds. Now it just wont stop running. I hear that a few people are getting runny noses since vaping. are you getting one? tired of having to stick tissues up my nose..lol.. kinda looks big and funny...lmao..</p>

<p>
	Milwaukee vaping ....
</p>

<p>
	Now let me just say right off that I'm open to actual evidence and arguements that "vaping" caused this but I find this very suspect. 
</p>

<p>
	I know it's very early and there will be more FACTS coming after this initial hysteria.
</p>

<p>
	Im having trouble finding any objective data on this, probably because it is early in its announcement.    
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	Has anybody seen any news on this that ISN'T heavily slanted by the anti vaping  community? 
</p>

<p>
	I find it odd that vaping has been around for a long time without incident.   And now "teens" in Wisconsin are suddenly suffering from lung disease.  AND with the recent ramp up of THC vaping I find this interestingly coincidental. 
</p>

<p>
	I look forward to more honest reporting and fact finding on this but I think I know where this is headed........

<p>So i've noticed my eye twitching pretty regularly over the last week or so. It usually lasts for 5-10 minutes, and it seems to happen a half dozen or so times a day. It's pretty annoying so i did a quick google search on it. This article lists stress, lack of sleep, and over consumption of caffeine and the main reasons for it (3 for 3....lol) and I was just wondering if anyone knows if nicotine can contribute to that as well. Does anyone else experience this?</p><p>
</p><p>
The simple solutions are obviously to stop stressing about work, go to bed earlier, and switch to decaf, but I'm curious if anyone else on here experiences this in any form or fashion. I've been considering switching to decaf coffee anyways since I'm a pretty heavy vaper and i figure one less addictive stimulant the better. Any thoughts?</p><p>

	My GF is a doctor. So she all the time that I was smoking cigarettes was telling me that it could be a reason for many health problems. For example, it could be a cause of erectile dysfunction(here is more information about it <a href="http://potencyup.com/smoking-and-erectile-dysfunction-how-to-quit/)" rel="external nofollow">http://potencyup.com/smoking-and-erectile-dysfunction-how-to-quit/)</a><br />

<p>
	Hi there, 
</p>

<p>
	    It’s been approximately 52 hours since my labial frenectomy, and I was wondering if it was okay vape again. I had a laser frenectomy done, and while I realize it’s probably not the best idea to vape, I’m kind of starting to get a bit irritable. My biggest concern is getting a dry socket and making things worse. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

<p>
	I quite smoking on December 14th.  I bought non-nicotine vaping with menthol flavor.  I can't find decisive answers about my testing coming up within a week.  I was told at the vape store that there is absolutely no nicotine in the juice and the menthol is called GNS Menthol.  Can this website please help me determine if I will most probably pass a blood or urine test?  I honestly don't know, it could be a swab test.  If the surgeon finds any nicotine in my system the day of the surgery, th 31st, he'll cancel it.  I'm trying the best I can.   I just can't stop cold turkey with the smoking and the vaping is fabulous.
</p>

<p>
	If anyone has suggestions I'm sure open to them.   BTW, I'm taking 100-200 mg of Wellbutrin to help with easing off the smoking as well as Niacin - 250mg.  
</p>

<p>
	I would appreciate any help possible as I HAVE to get my hip replaced asap.   Thanks for reading and possibly helping with this.

<p>I started vaping about 2 months ago and just RECENTLY - in the past 2 weeks I've noticed that I am having problems with my teeth becoming extremely sensitive to everything I eat (especially sweets) and if I drink something cold or hot.  I'm not sure if it's from ecigs or not.  I have been using the same eliquids as always, about 24 nic and 100% PG.   Now, I also did something different - I switched toothpastes.  I began using Colgate Total within the last 2 weeks.  So...now I'm not sure of the cause of this.  Toothpaste or vaping??  I threw out that toothpaste and am using the Sensidyne and I guess if pain goes away I'll know the culprit.  So the question I do have for others is has anyone else experienced overly sensitive teeth and gums from vaping?  Help please! Thanks</p>

I’ve been reading through some of the comments on other related subjects but thought I would hit you up with my dilemma. 
</p>

<p>
	For well over a week now, it starts with my tongue tingling, then the sides of my tongue get swolllen, it gets sore because it rubs on my teeth. Numb on the end too, very annoying! .... But, also my lips swell and my gums can hurt so much it hurts to clean my teeth. And now it’s spread to my throat getting sore and congested in my nose too.! To say dry mouth does not cut it! I can drink all day and still need a drink! 
</p>

<p>
	Anyone else had vape tongue as severe ? 
</p>

<p>
	I have seeked medical attention and doc put me on steroids for 5 days. Didn’t touch it, so yesterday I was told to have blood tests. Awaiting results now. 
</p>

<p>
	Im still vaping but cutting it right down, it’s getting me down quite a lot. Any help I will be greatful to hear ! Thanks

<p>
	Is it possible to get discoloration on your tongue or teeth from vaping?
</p>

<p>
	I've been searching around for answers on this all morning.
</p>

<p>
	Some folks think certain liquids especially those that are dark or saturated in color can discolor your mouth.
</p>

<p>
	Some folks think that a dirty coil / tank could cause crud to end up in your mouth.
</p>

<p>
	I started vaping in January but I would still call myself a total newbie. Had an experience last night where after vaping a dark brown juice all night found my tongue had a large dark spot on it and my teeth looked discolored as well. I also realized that I think I have been using my CE4 clearos too long so that may have something to do with it? Scraping my tongue removed the spot. Brushing seemed to reduce what's on my teeth a little, but I might need something more abrasive to get that off completely. I am seeing my dentist soon anyway so I can make sure it isn't something more serious. 
</p>

<p>
	Any experience or insight?
</p>
