Has anyone else felt that they're more dehydrated with ecigs than with actual cigarettes? I wake up in the morning dried out as heck, and I don't recall it being this bad with cigarettes...

not actually dehydration but cotton mouth...........keep water handy. For most people it goes away in a week or two
I've been vaping for about a month and a half, and I haven't really noticed it getting any better. I drink A LOT of water, but I was just curious if it's a common side effect
YES!!! Lasted about 3 months - Im not sure if increased water take took care of it thru adjustment period or it just went away. Either way, more water is always better anyway
I also had some muscle aches and read that water would take care of that too so I just got on the water big time PG builds up as lactic acid and if you dont drink enuff, itll bite ya!

missed this post before I posted...oooops! well, if ur already heavy on the water, my guess is that it will prob get better....soon I hope!
From what I read the PG and VG both attract water molecules thus sucking some out our bodies. Which is why they create vapor when we use our PV's.
Keep in mind also that winter months dehydration occurs more frequently in people because our thirst mechanism doesn't trigger as well in cold temps. And our bodies are working harder to maintain our core temperature. Add in heavier clothing to stay warm and you have a perfect storm of conditions to become dehydrated.
I read about the dehydration issue before I ordered my PV so increased my water intake as a precaution. Just make some adjustments to your fluid intake and you should be fine.

My sinuses and the back of my throat are dry in the AM's.. more so than they ever were with cigarettes. Maybe it will pass. I don't know. I'm willing to deal with it or find a solution before switching back to smoking again.
I own, I hate to say it, Vick's "vaporizer". Might break it out and see if it helps with the dryness.
I might have to get one of those and see if it helps. I hope this gets better when the whether warms up!
Wow, I find that really disturbing. No wonder I am so dehydrated all of the time. Thanks for the info.
Both PG and VG have drying effects on your body! You will eventually acclimate some. A humidifier might help. But go ahead and take this opportunity to drink A LOT of water, use extra moisturizer, and keep that lip balm handy!

Already on it
PG dried me out a lot. VG less so, but still a bit. Added alcohol to thin my VG DIY juices really dried me out...mouth, lips, throat. Now I use distilled water to thin the VG juice, and the problems are 90% solved. Drinking water takes care of the rest of it. I certainly drink a lot more water than while I was smoking.
It got me for the first week but I got over it within a week by just drinking a lot more water. I think it's very common to have this problem. It also bugged my guts a bit at first.
I remember someone saying gatoraid was good as well.

using a humidifier in your house helps.. also cuts the heating bill..
I think that cigs dried up my mouth more than the e-cig. the only thing is that when I smoked cigs I would always have a drink with me to get the taste out of my mouth
