Been there my friend! I stopped getting them but I did start taking a vitamin supplement that was recommended by my pharmacist called Lysine. She also told me to make a paste out of them & put it on the canker sores. Can't really do it during the day but I'd put the paste on at bedtime. Hope this helps!

I'm on day 11 of vaping and around a week ago, woke up to a painful canker sore. I rinsed with salt water and had some canned soup and the pain went away. It didn't go away for a few days though. Salt water rinses kept pain at bay. I've never had a canker sore before so I was surprised!

I have heard about the Lysine supplement. How much do you take per day?

Yep, had the canker sores and zits. I think it's related to withdrawals from smoking cigarettes as I'm not getting them anymore. It was the first month that I quit smoking when I experienced them.
