PG can irritate skin so maybe mix PG w/ VG if u haven't done so already. Menthol may be the culprit in this case. Menthol can irritate the skin as well. It's possible the mix has not diluted enough when used fresh as was stated earlier.
Strong odors that irritate the sinuses can cause nosebleeds. For ex., an aquaintance had several cats that lived in the house, the cats got into a territory war & would piss all over the house including the kids beds. The odor was horrendous. The smell was very strong on the mattresses. 2 of the kids would wake up w/ chronic nose bleeds. Once the matresses were changed the nose bleeds stopped.
A vitamin K deficiency can also cause nose bleeds as well.
Hope this helps & u find an answer.
I really haven't thought about it lately. It sits, at least overnight, and I vape it. I should have mentioned that I got this reaction even before I started using menthol. I think its a simple chemical reaction, and the mixture needs a few hours to stabilize.
