Hoarse Voice & Dry Throat

[cathomp31]

Hello Everyone,
I have been vaping for over 2 Months Now and When I started I also started to D.I.Y my Own e-juice..

My Mixing Ratios have always been 30% PG and 70% VG. (PG Don't like me to well)

I have never had this Problem but all of a Sudden I keep getting a Dry Throat and a Hoarse Voice...

Does anyone have any Suggestions...

Are you drinking lots of water? You know vaping can dry you out. What do you mean by PG didn't like you very well? Did you have a reaction to it?

You might try making a point of drinking more water. I think some of the liquids can have a tendency to dehydrate. I haven't had a dry throat, but my voice has gotten a bit more hoarse on occasion. I've found if I increase my water intake it goes away.

Try water and if that doesn't work, you may have to switch to 100% VG.

Sorry to hear. I know its not the best feeling in the world when we get a dry hit.

P.S. Trying to post my 5 to get past the new member forum.

Thank You for responding.. I Drink Water likes its going out of Style, I always Have.. When I add more PG it seems to give me a Headache.. So I tried the 30/70 and it seemed to work for me.. The Dry Throat & Hoarse Voice started about Tuesday of this Week...

Thank You Devilwoman, I Drink Water all the Time...I have a Feeling It might be the Way I'm Mixing my Juices...

Thank You Miira,
I drink Water all the time, I have a feeling It might be my % that I mix my e-juice.. I going to mix up a VG batch and give that a try...

Since you've never had this problem before, I'm wondering if it's related to vaping or not...it might be that you're coming down with a cold...or maybe something else is going on..If it keeps up, you might want to consult with your Dr.

I also get a headache with PG and have started using 100% VG which has helped. Today i decided to try a 50/50 mixture and had a headache at work all day and now I'm noticing my throat is very dry. I, too drink lots of water throughout the day.

 

[Miira]

I don't get a headache, i just get a very scratchy and swollen throat, though in OP's case, it could be a cold. S/he can always try 100% VG until s/he thinks the issue is cleared and try going back to the old juices and see what happens.

I also have always taken in a lot of water, in fact other than a couple cups of coffee in the morning and an occasional glass of iced tea if I go out to eat (which I don't do often) water is all I drink. If your body is already used to what is your normal intake and you do something that uses up more than normal you might still need to increase your intake. I've had to do that in the last few months rather significantly because my doctor put me on a diuretic for high blood pressure. Even with the increase due to the diuretic, when I notice my voice getting hoarse I try to add a bit more. It may not be so much about the quantity but about what your body is accustomed to.

Pg and I don't play well together either.I found with a 50/50 mix all is OK.

Thank You Everyone for the Advice...
I think I might have narrowed it down.. It has been very Windy where I live, its more than likely the Dust and Pollen in the Air..

This is why I like this Forum.. You can ask a question, people give their advice and suggestions, and then you start thinking.. "what am I doing different or what has changed"

Thank You

Summer and dehydration go hand in hand. Vaping will dry out the mouth, but when summer arrives we all have to drink more water to compensate for warm weather dryness, also.

I went through a hacking period as the late pollen bloomed. That is settling out now. Rain certainly helps. When it rains, I clear up and my wife gets sinus congestion. We both went to an allergist and got the scratch test where they apply 80 tiny drops of allergens to a grid of dots on your arms using little sharp scratch implements , wait 15 minutes, and check for redness and swelling reactions.

I was slightly allergic to 2 dry molds, as was my wife, but she was also allergic to things that oocur in damp weather! The test matched our reactions to the real world and identified the particular causes.

Didn't know about the dehydration, thanks again guys!
