I agree (even though i am a smoker).. I did vape for 6 months and had no real cigs. But on month 6 my gums got very sensitive and would actually bleed very easily.. I guessing its because I was using vape liquid that was not very high quality and i think the stuff was from China.. Anyway I stopped and my gums were fine after a week. But unfortunately went back to real cigs..
OT
Have you tried a 100% VG e-juice? I hate to see someone go from vaping back to smokes. I hate to switch to a 100% VG e-juice as I had some "side-affects" from the PG based e-juice.
Here's some info between the two:
Vegetable glycerin is a thick, heavy, and sweet-tasting liquid. It gives your smokeless cigarette a very pleasant sweet flavor, and creates large amounts of vapor. It also creates an incredibly smooth throat hit that many users highly appreciate. Vegetable glycerin is derived from, you guessed it, vegetables. Therefore it is considered completely natural and safe. VG is also used as a sweetener and in many cosmetic products.
Vegetable glycerin imparts a slightly sweet flavor –however it does not contain sugar, and is metabolized by the body in a different manner than sugar.
Propylene glycol, by comparison, is very thin, but even sweeter than VG. PG is known to produce a great throat hit, and that is why some people favor it in their smokeless cigarettes.
Something to consider with PG is that it has a higher rate of sensitivity, and can cause reactions that are allergic in nature in some users. It is generally recognized as safehttp://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/phs/phs.asp?id=1120&tid=240 by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, which is why it can be found in a host of healthcare products from skincare lotions to body products and as a preservative in foods. However, a small percentage of people, about 2%, have negative allergic reactions to PG where they experience shortness of breath or dryness of the throat.

Give it a shot and maybe it will help you out. Maybe get a longer drip tip that you can get the vapor behind your teeth/gums. (I don't know if that will help)
I know that vaping is still ingesting nicotine, but it's miles better than smokes and cheaper.
Hope this helps, dude!
