Another question...

[MadKat]

Does anyone else have the issue of getting an extremely dry mouth and throat while vaping?

 

[YKruss]

Just about everyone if they don't drink water

That's pretty common. Just drink more water when you vape.

I used a moisturizing mouth spray as well. Helped a lot. Drink....drink.....drink more water!

Another reason why it'll be better for me to smoke the e-cig, It'll cause me to drink more water. HA!

V1. Dry Throat, Sore Throat
Tobacco withdrawal produces a sore throat in some people. It is unknown why this occurs but perhaps cigarette smoke ingredients have some sort of preventative or anaesthetic effect, and stop the throat becoming sore during cigarette use, which it is easy to see could cause it.

Some - but by no means all - suffer from a dry throat, or even a sore throat, when starting to use an e-cigarette due to the drying-out effect of PG.

If a person suffers from both conditions: the tobacco withdrawal sore throat, and the e-cigarette new-user sore throat, then in rare cases a fiercely sore throat can result.

PG is a humectant (attracts, ie 'sucks out' water) and when vaping the back of the throat gets coated. You can find that after sleeping, you wake up with a sore throat. Things that can help are drinking a glass of water before bed, gargling with a mouthwash to cut the PG coating before bed, drinking water throughout the day, using hard candies and drinking liquids with honey liquid through the day to keep your mouth moist - especially if you are a new user.

An alternative for those who experience more throat dryness than normal is to change to a VG-based e-liquid, which normally solves the problem.

Yes! I have started using a saline spray for my nose, but my mouth and throat are so dry!

I've found I make it a point to have a glass of icewater by me when I sit around and vape, good with vaping, and as you say it's good for you!

I'm wondering if it's a "combination" of getting off analogs and ecigs.

I have always been a heavy water drinker, but experienced the dryness issue in my first month, and, upped my water intake. Now, though, it seems my body has regulated somewhat and my water intake is similar to pre-ecig days. (Although, as noted - I've always been heavy on water, so my normal intake might be more than average.)

When I started to vape I definitely did not drink much water, now I'm at about a 1L + a day...lol

 

[abstemious]

I noticed too that if I drink too much coffee or not enough water in a day, that it seems like vaping is "stealing" the water from inside my body, or drying me out. I cut back on the coffee and increased my water intake and havnt had any problems since.

Coffee and regular beverages with sugar (including beer) have dehydration effect. Pure nicotine inhaled will enchance the feeling. This is not about vaping caused dehydration - it's just the feel of it.

Remedy fot that is easy; using regulated amount of coffee with cream, drinking unskimmed milk or eating high-fat, natural vegetables, like avocado - with reasonable amount, of course.

I get Dry Mouth and found Two things that help.

Don't vape after you Brush Your Teeth before you go to Sleep.

Try Biotine Mouth Rinse.
