No, this is a new one on me. If I had cystic acne and was of the opinion that vaping exacerbated it then I would cease to vape.

How old are you and why are you vaping? Cystic acne is best treated by your doctor/dermatologist to control it and reduce the risk of scarring. If vaping is an activity and not to stop smoking, you really shouldn't be messing around with it in the first place.

Loads of help here when you need it But the first thing to say is that I hope you are not vaping for the sake of it....if so then try and stop. If you're genuinely trying to give up a tobacco habit then maybe try cutting out the PG in your juice as in almost all allergic reactions due to vaping it's the PG that is the culprit...
