Effects of Vaping on the Voice?

[CrayJay]

Hey everyone,

I'm an aspiring voice actor, and recently I've quit vaping because I've heard it can be damaging to your vocal chords and voice overall. Sadly, I really like vaping and I miss the smoke and the flavors. I've tried looking up research in regards to how e-cigs and vaping effects the voice, and weirdly enough a lot of the discussions and studies were very controversial/opinionated. Many saying it's not that bad, many saying it can be terrible depending on the juice, and most saying they simply don't know.... so what do I believe? Does anyone have any good articles or insights they can share?

Thank you for your time guys.
All the best,
CJ

How exactly does it do that? Medical study and Abstract validating such?

I heard if Frogs had wings they would not Bump their butts. Sorry, that is exactly how they would land..........according to shape and weight distribution

ETA: If you Don't smoke, then Don't Vape.
If you Do/DID Smoke -smoking DOES Effect the Vocal cords.

Thank you for taking the time to be a smartass. It means a lot to me I should've specified a little better. How badly does vaping effect your voice? I haven't really felt any changes apart from coughing a little more, but are there future repercussions I should be concerned of?

I've never heard of any studies or articles on vaping affecting the voice.

congrats on quitting.

6 Vocal Myths: Practical Therapy Applications - in case your curious

Prepare for the worst. You are asking for people to tell you something that may or may not effect you and only you according to your physiology.

There is no GOOD science I have seen released in the last 4 years that would suggest any likelihood of inhaling Vapor damaging Vocal cords.

Now, if you are coughing MORE from Vaping..............I'd suggest a visit to your Physician for follow up.

If you are a smoker and you have quit vaping and went bac to smoking, you are damaging your vocal cords much more then u ever could with vaping. Yes with some persons vaping may affect voice but the effect is only temporal and as ive said its far less magnitude then smoking.

Well I was curious if there was some overarching consequences for long term vaping people heard about/seen anything on is all. But thank you for your help!

For me trying to talk while exhaling vapor(its not smoke) makes my voice deeper ,other than that no change , a friend I mix juice for had a cough (new to vaping) and we mix it now with less VG and seemed to help

Not worth the risk then. Nobody can accurately answer your question and it will probably be years before science can.

 

[WillyZee]

vaping has been around for almost 10 years ... and millions of people are now vaping.

we're still waiting for the first negative health reports

sorry, there seems to be nothing even on the horizon

Honestly, I was not trying to give you a hard time. I get a bit flustered with all the Pure Garbage being presented to honest innocent Victims of those promoting an agenda by Propaganda and fear mongering.

As in this instance, they have confused, worried and deflected you from enjoying your life choices in an attempt to promote their preferences for how you choose to live.

It is just not the way people should live in, harmony through dictatorship...........

The voice is about the breath, as you know. Good control of a good pair of lungs is the heart of the matter. What I notice is vaping is far far less irritating than smoking but the effect is not zero. A very minimal amount of vaping might not matter but if you are shooting for the stars you'll do better not to vape. Good evening...LADIES...and GENTLEMEN!

Here's the girl who taught me about breath control.

Here is my personal experience:
For nearly five years I vaped juice which was predominantly PG. At some point recently I noticed my voice was sounding like a raspy old man, kind of crept up on me. I decided to go the VG route to see if it made a diff, luckily my guy produces a VG unflavored WTA with a real nice throat hit which I adore. My voice is returning to its smooth sexy baritone nicely.

just aging itself affects the tone/pitch of your voice. so does constantly drinking iced cold beverages, hot beverages, eating spicy food, etc etc so I would also assume vaping would have an affect on your voice as well.

but of course no studies or hard data to back up my claims, just IMO.

No evidence in any way that vaping causes any illnesses or harm to the human body.

The only effect I have ever heard was a PG allergy, but that has nothing to do with vaping.

I've been vaping and into the vape scene for four years now. I've never read anything that indicates vaping could damage vocal chords.

OTOH, when I vape juice with nicotine my voice becomes noticeably hoarse after a while. Most of the time I vape zero nic and that never happens to me. After switching back to zero nic my voice goes back to normal quickly. I've spent a fair bit of time over the years on high PG and on high VG and that didn't affect this for me.

So just my own short term experience, make what you will of it. Good luck

I've been vaping 50vg/50pg for over five years, and I've not had any issues with my vocal chords. In fact, comparing my voice now to when I smoked, my voice is much clearer now (I hope that makes sense)!

 

[Benji_Rock]

I'm a vocalist and I vape a lot during band practices, and I havent really felt an effect. You've just got to keep drinking a lot of water, which you would anyway if your working with your voice. All I know for a fact is my voice has improved since giving up smoking.
