Any singers out there???

[nebulas]

I was wondering if anyone who sings has experienced any side effects from vaping. I feel like vaping maybe effecting my tone. It could very well just be from eating sweets but I haven't eaten that much of them. I vape far more than I eat sweet stuff so if vaping can have an effect I would first suspect that to be the culprit.

Your thoughts? Your experiences?

Not me personally, but my SO is an avid singer. After switching to vaping she noticed some difference, but with plenty of water and some moxy, she is back in the game so to speak.

I'm no singer but my gf is the vocalist of a jazz big band. She vapes occasionally and has never complained about it bothering her ability to sing or throat irritation. Maybe the PG is irritating your throat?

I am a vocal teacher and singer. I have noticed some variance to my tone, but my low range (bass II) is back to what it was in college...(hitting a fairly solid low C compared to E when I was smoking analogues). Lots of water, that's all.

That's what my gf does. Lots and lots of water. She always buys a couple of gallons a few days before a gig.

I've noticed that, when using higher or 100% VG, I tend to lose my lower ranges and become a bit raspy.

My GF sings, she doesn't vape a lot but I could always experiment on her =]=]=]

Singer musician here. Actually the last time I had several months of vocal lessons, I had relapsed on analogues and experienced hoarseness first few hours after waking. Now that I'm vaping, the voice is much stronger!

What's your experience with PG?

I do metal vocals so my opinion is probably not relevant. But since switching to vaping my voice sounds MUCH better and I can hold a note more then twice as long.

I am noticing some of the same things. I can hold notes longer, breather better, and my high register has actually improved quite a bit. Any dryness is compensated for by breath control and stamina. I sing jingles occasionally, and I think they are much better.

My main vapes are 60/40 PG/VG, so I can't really speak to higher PG vs VG effect.

I did buy a bottle of 100% VG recently and I have been spiking my juices with it.

There is a significant difference in my lower range RIGHT after a heavy vaping session... I believe it to be that my air passages are dry, seeing as the practical application of water solves it.

How does it affect your juice, spiking it?

I don't sing professionally anymore, but I do R&B (Teena Marie, Chaka Khan...) and I did notice that my tone has gotten a little muffled, like there's something in my throat. I try to clear my throat, but nothing happens. I did get my range back though, and no longer feel that raw, scratchy pain or get hoarse and lose my voice when I belt out in my car!
Agreed, water helps some.

Fresh watery fruits like watermelon, honeydew, cantloupe help the dry throat a lot (kind of like lubicant) - at least for me they do...

There was a yound lady on this forum before (have not seen her post in a long time), that claimed she lost the raspiness in her voice with giving up smokes - the raspiness was her mainstay in her voice...
