Tongue pain after switching to e-cig 3 weeks ago?

arleitiss

Hey, about 3 weeks ago I switched to e-cig from smokes, now after 3 weeks of using it I noticed tongue-tip pain, it's been for 2 days now and it's almost gone.

Is this normal? Is it possible that some kind of taste receptors are coming back or recovering or so?

you'll notice it a bit in your gums, its the tar leaving i think

I can't offer any annecdotal help because I never suffered any side effects myself, but stay the course unless you experience side effects that are intolerable to you.
Google side effects of vaping as all sorts of things could trigger in your body to do with the PG and or VG in the liquids.
Another common thing is dehyration, drink plenty of water, which you should be doing ayway, but vaping does dehydrate you.
Its worth remembering that yes you are quitting a really harsh poisonous habit for one that (hopefully) is massively healthier and that over the next period of time your body will be excreting all manner of toxins until its only nicotine in your system. Its an unpleasant phase but its worth pushing through it.

As said above, your body will feel the effects of quitting the stinkies, a lot of people including myself also get a couple of weeks with really weird dreams and not great sleep.

Would you give the Nicolette inhaler a go instead?
My husband gave up a few weeks ago and is using patches and inhaler and says it's so much easier this time. Inhaler helps with the whole "keeping hands busy" problem at bay

I think its likely that people will respond differently to certain liquids. In my case, I can't vape the Shire Malt from Pipe Sauce as it gives me a similar reaction as regards 'thick'/ sensitive tonque. Funny as I have no problem with Long Bottom Leaf.

When my dad started with ecigs he got a "spot" on the tip of his tounge the exact circumfrence as the top of the drip tip. what he was doing was holding his tounge infront of where the vapour came out of it so i presume the vapour hitting his tounge caused it. I have noticed i dont hold my tounge im the same way as if i was smoking. Maybe related to the sensetivity your getting?

Me thinks either too hot vapour or even easier, dehydration. I had some when I started vaping but I didn't know at the time that I have to drink water when vaping.

Everybody talks about dehydration and drinking water when vaping. I for one rarely drink a glass of water but tea at the usual times,brekki lunch dinner evenin, and vaping has no ill effects on me. No dry mouth or anything??? Only yellow pee😀...I wouldnt rule it out tho but Id agree with the hot vapour part hands down

I was making referance that i dont drink any more water now that i vape than what i ever used to drink when i smoked.so i cant say vaping dehydrates me more than before. Smart ass :-)

Clearly!
I just thought it was funny.
For the record, it didn't dehydrate me either. Now as for the amount of beer in recent weeks....

agree,i could have worded it a bit better alright

I had that and still do 2 years on every now and then.
I know now though it's because I don't drink enough uisce.

After you vape, Have Your Drink Right At The End


See if that makes it any better. also PG / VG Content. I was sensitive to PG. 80 PG/20VG was not good for me. so i got 50/50 juices. Fine now I dont even clock them anymore, doesnt seem to bother me.

I always drink something while using e cig. Non alcoholic I mean.

By the way I just noticed something, is it normal for coil to go about once a week? I mean it works but it starts to give less smoke and taste like something burnt which really makes throat itch. But after changing it it's fine?

While some coils last double that time, it's not unusual to replace heads at a week's distance. It depends on:
the quality of the head/clearomizer and how it was designed to function
what liquid you're using (higher VG liquids gunk the coil faster)
and what temperature the coil is working at - here you control that with the voltage/wattage on your battery or mod, if it has that function.

Last but not least, it matters how much you vape per day. Some may vape less so the coil will last longer in term of days but the overall "on" time should be the same more or less.

When I was using clearos I went for eVods and Protanks, the coils there lasted me about 2 weeks but I wasn't chain vaping at that point and I usually kept them running on 3.8-4v

Hope that helps!

1-2 weeks is the norm for almost everything in vaping IMO.
Premade coil head: 1-2 weeks
Cotton wicks in RBA, RTA:1-2 weeks
Flavour boredom:1-2 weeks!!!
Shinyitis and finger twitching on webstores: 1-2 weeks.....

He has a far better chance of giving up fully with e cigarettes....

Someone on another board I'm on had similar to this (she had a sore mouth and ulcers as opposed to just a sore tongue) when she went from the smokes on to the ecig. She tried all sorts of different things like 100% PG and 100% VG and eventually the problem just went away independent of the changes she'd made. Last I heard she was vaping anything she fancied with no issues.

I haven't had a single side effect from vaping and haven't even suffered any of the assorted problems that come from giving up tobacco regardless of ecgis.
