It could possibly be due to dehydration.
vaping will dehydrate you more than smoking did - my guess would be that you aren't drinking enough water (coupled with the fact that it's the middle of summer).

I wouldn't worry about it - keep an eye on it and if it doesn't go away after you up your water intake then you might want to think about seeing a doctor.

Keep in mind that your body is going through a lot of change, not only because you've started vaping, but mainly because you've stopped smoking. It's hard not to get worried about every symptom (I know I did). But I had all sorts of things going one (like bloody noses) and they all went away after a few weeks. Drink plenty of water, and give it some time.

Hello,

How long and how many cigarettes did u use to smoke before?

What nicotine strenght are u using with your e-cig?

Keep in mind that Vaping and Smoking are very very different things... for example if u have been smoking light cigarettes all your life and now, use 24 mg nicotine liquid all day long without regular breaks... you might have a nicotine rush in your body (nothing harmfull) but this can cause some bleeding due to the excess of excitation created by nicotine....

DO u have other medical issues?

Sorry for my english....

i had a little of that 2 years ago when i started. it went away after a few days.
and, well, i vape (about 60mls a month) way too much, and last week i had some bluegreen boogers when i did my preface wash nose blow in the morning...kinda freaked, but it stopped too hehe.

i believe e-cig`s to be safer, not completly harmless, what is? with spare the air saying cut down on driving and yet no real change because of money from gas taxes car sales and not to mention goverment bailout to some automakers there is no margin for any loss of money coming in.

Had this problem. I figured out why though. It was because I wasn't drinking enough fluids. I have sinus problems to begin with, so when I'm vaping AND not drinking fluids it gets worse and more irritated. When it's bad and I can't actually wait for my body to rehydrate, I just put some water in through my nose and let it run down my throat. That will stop the bleeding right away usually. Hope you get this sorted out and make sure to keep hydrated!!

Well remember anyway, than a lot of the symptoms you can get when you start vaping are more tied to the fact that you stopped smoking real cigarettes in fact....

I think the video posted is kinda interesting and true...

and that's what i meant in my first post...

When you stop smoking the blood pressure in your mouth and face in general is gonna come back stronger, because the cigarette smoke won't put your gums and sinuses to sleep anymore....

You can call the advice nurse at many hospitals and get some re-assurance there and if it continues, see a doctor ! it could be something unrelated to your change in smoking habits.
I'm just starting with these too and feel that any cigarette NOT SMOKED is good. please vote to keep these legal and out of the hands of big tobacco and the FDA. (sorry to get off topic) Keep vaping and get healthy. :)
