Can vaping e cigarettes cause nose bleeds?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Nose bleeds: Some of the most severe nose bleeds I've seen were in smokers who blew smoke through their nasal passages.I assume vapors from e cigarettes can also dry out nasal membranes, drying them out enough to cause bleeds.

Yes: Propylene glycol (PG), is a chemical used in vaping that can dehydrate the tissues in the nostrils. This can lead to nosebleeds in some people who vape.
