I started using my e-cig a little over a year ago and just a few months after starting on the e-cig I developed acne again. My acne had been completely cleared by my birth control for about 5 years, but it started flaring up again. At first it was very mild and I figured maybe my hormones were out of wack because I would sometimes forget to take my pill, but over time it got much worse. I believe that I am now at a moderate acne stage. Anyway, I smoke a 70PG/30VG blend at a 2.4mg nicotine. I just ordered a 100% VG liquid at a nicotine level of .6mg because I wasn't really a smoker before I started e-cigs and have never found it a problem to pick up and put down cigarettes like it was nothing, so I figured I probably wouldn't have too hard of a time with a lower dose of nicotine. I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced acne while/because of smoking an e-cig and if switching nicotine levels or PG/VG levels helped or hurt your acne?
I had SOME zit issues as a females do before I started vaping but not as bad as they are now. I'm getting painful, massive bouts of cystic acne which I never got before. I'm literally 100 percent sure it is due to vaping. I assumed this from 2 years ago and from EVERY single time when I've started and stopped vaping numerous times I have seen the difference in my skin. Vaping has made my skin so bad I literally can't control it with over the counter treatment and had to get pharmaceutical treatment from my doctor instead. Honestly, I've decided to put down vaping for the last time and I will definitely not be going back to cigarettes as I have strong willpower. The type of acne vaping has caused me has literally stopped me from wanting to go anywhere. At 24 years old I should not have this type of acne and it's only ever happens whenever I picked up the vape again. Believe me it's so bad and this is DEFINITELY a side effect of vaping. Even my boyfriend who is approaching 30 and always had great skin has been getting cystic spots since he started vaping whether it is high or low pg or VG or whatever it is. It is bad for the skin in general even if you are meticulous with your facial cleansing routine you will probably find you will gradually get worse skin while vaping. It's such a shame because it's a great alternative to smoking. Give it some more time and I'm sure people will come to find there ARE more health risks associated with vaping and you'll be happy you stopped.
