Sore Tongue

I have been using an e-cig since I stopped smoking over a month ago. My tongue recently has been red and sore. Does anyone know if this is normal and what I can use for the discomfort.

Welcome Wendy and congratsπŸ‘πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰ one month is just fabulous ... The worst is over..... I've not used e-cigs before but it sounds like your tounge is having a reaction / allergic reaction.... Have you tried nicotine gum or spray.... Maybe stop it for a week and get another NRT and see if it settles down

All the best πŸ‘πŸ»

Hi Wendy and a warm welcome to Quit support.

Congratulations on your month quit - Sensational :) :)

Mouth troubles and a common part of the recovery process, especially tongue and gum issues .

Have you changed the liquid in your e-cig that could be contributing to the soreness:?

I have not used the e-cig so am not much help there, but hopefully members that do use one will respond :) :)

Do have a ready of the pinned posts to the right as there is lots of info on what to expect as part of the recovery process :) :)

Can you please let us know your quit date so we can add you to our wall of winners :) :) Keep up the great quit you have going :) :)

Hi well done on one month quit. I have used the ecig I used bubble gum flavour and I found no problem with it. But I have heard that has happend to some people using it. You might need to change to something else. Take care x

Hi Wendy1105, and a big warm welcome to our quit support community :) WOW, look at you, over a month quit now :) :)

You will see a 1 Month Winners badge after your name now :) but if you could please let me know your quit date, then I can keep your Winners badge upto date :)

We have a mantra on here - NOPE - Not One Puff Ever :) you just remember that and you wont go far wrong eh :)

I see you've had some great advice :) and like Glolin has said, mouth troubles are common in the early stages of our quit's :o

Maybe it would be a good idea to change your e-cig for another NRT product for a few days and just see if your tongue gets better :) ermm, if its the hand to mouth thing you like about the eicig, then perhaps try the Inhalator :) this is a little plastic ciggie to which you put nicotine cartridges into :) BUT, this gives you that kick of nicotine when you need it, but does not have any vapour :) Just a thought :)

Wendy, we have a mantra on here, NOPE, Not One Puff Ever :)

Take care now and good luck and dont forget we are all here to help you :)

Pete :)

Thank you all for the help. I am going to change liquid and see if that helps. It does feel better this morning.

My quit date is February 14, 2016. When I decided to quit it was like losing my best friend after smoking for27 years but every day gets easier

Thank you Wendy, I now have you well and truly logged into our data base :) :)

As for you changing the liquid in your e-cig, ermmm, some months ago now, a member on here said that the e-liquid was made up of 3 parts :o

Nicotine.

Flavour.

Base liquid.

I am sure he said, there are 2 base liquids :o and one was a vegetable based one :) So maybe ask your supplier about this :) I hope you get it sorted :) :)

Well done Wendy on your great quitπŸ‘πŸΌ I see you've got lots of good advice already and it's worth trying warm salt water mouth rinses or corsydl mouthwash. Both are good for healing. Good luck😊
