Anybody experience this before?

[Spartan8029]

Well since I've been vaping I constantly have dry mouth all day and I've been waking up in the morning with severe dryness. Have any of you experienced this before from vaping? I'm hoping it goes away soon and since I'm new to the whole e cig world, I wasn't sure if this was normal or not for some users.

 

[Stormiefury]

Yep everyday. Never goes away for me. I use biotene and I chew gum which helps alot. I drink more water than a fish and that does NOT help me. I also found that flavored drinks help for short periods of time. Doesn't make me want to quit at all because I figure it's a small issue compared to how I used to feel when I smoked. I also brush my teeth 3 times a day now. Oh and you can get the biotene spray to carry around with you.

vaping will dehydrate you quickly. Just drink plenty of water.
It might be a good idea to invest in a humidifier for the bedroom if you are waking up dry. Not sure where you live, but winter is dry and summer is moist, typically. Do you know what the humidity is in your home? 40-60% is what most people consider comfortable.

 

[Spartan8029]

Yeah I've been drinking plenty of water, I normally drink more than a gallon a day as I don't drink soda. I'm not experiencing any signs of dehyrdation outside of a dry mouth. This probably sounds odd but my mouth feels dry even when I'm in the middle of a drink.

Vaping will dehydrate you so make sure you drink tons of water and avoid caffeine if possible.

I have noticed dry mouth and chapped lips.. Not too much you can do besides drink more water! Think of it as killing two birds with one stone! Not only are you not smoking, you are getting water (which is healthy) at the same time! Hopefully the humidifier thing will work for you! I hate the dry winter, so this is usually a problem anyway!


Best of luck to you!

Not odd at all.

Because when you vape you coat the inside of your mouth with PG, VG or Both.

I rinse my mouth with Biotene before I go to sleep and it helps.

Just curious: What % of PG is your e-Liquid and how many ml do you vape a day?

 

[Jim Bob]

It "seems to help ME" by rinsing/gargling with minty mouthwash before bed, might be worth a try (I "think" it cuts some/most of the vaping coating out of your mouth throat?)

I must be the only one, but smoking gave me dry mouth too. I always had a beverage in my hand when I smoked. I've been vaping almost a year and either I'm used to the dry mouth or it has gotten better.

did you know biotene has PG in it? its the 3rd ingredient in my spray biotene LOL

 

[Nashy08]

That happened to me every day starting out. Get used to drinking more water. I don't tend to have the problem if I drink water throughout the day and when I vape.

 

[Devonmoonshire]

Yep, Every single day until I started drinking more water. Now my dry mouth AND Smoking are a thing of the past. I drink around 3 to 5 750ml Camelbak water bottles per day now. Not only does drinking more water get rid of the dry mouth, it is actually very very good for cleaning out your entire system too.

So get yourself a good quality water bottle and keep it filled and welcome to the water swilling crowd

Talked to my dentist about it, and she said that if vaping your mouth out, it is bad for your gums and teeth.

 

[FreakyStylie]

Like everybody else said ... VG and PG are hygroscopic, so they can dehydrate. Given that you drink a lot of water, your body may be hydrated, but your mouth will still feel the direct effects. Smoking tears up so much of our bodies systems, and you could just be having an issue with creating enough saliva. I chewed a lot more gum when I started vaping ... it seemed to help produce more saliva. And my water intake increased ... I was almost solely coffee and soda ... now I'm all about filtered water, juice, and more quality coffee. IDK, just a thought.

 

[CaptainMauzer]

Try switching to a liquid with more VG than PG. PG can have the side effect of drying out your mouth, where as VG can have the opposite effect where your mouth/throat feels slimy. Since you are having issues with the dry mouth, try switching and see if it helps at all

 

[EmmaJo]

It seemed to dry me out at first but now not as much. Even before vaping I've always kept a water bottle at my desk and I'm a gum chewer anyway. I was really drinking the water at first, but now that I think about it, it has tapered off some.

 

[The Yeti]

It's the PG. Get some 100% VG juice and your problem will go away, I guarantee it.

 

[Spartan8029]

Thanks for the advice guys. I don't consume caffeine and my water intake is pretty high, enough to have people make comments on my frequent bathroom trips. The website only states that the juices I got "Contains less than 20% PG."
Not really sure if that helps. I'm going to pick up some VG juices next and see if that helps any. The idea of having to use biotene all day is not something that is very appealing to me, obviously standard mouth hygiene use would be fine but having to carry around a bottle would suck.

yeah i found myself to loving water alot more since vaping
