I seem to have a problem that is pretty common among people who vape. I'm constantly thirsty. Not just a little thirsty, but really thirsty. I think I read somewhere that the vapor you see when you exhale is not from the juice but is from the juice combined with your natural moisture? This might not be correct but I was wondering if decreasing either vg or pg would make me less thirsty.
Does VG or PG make you thirstier? Or Both? Or Neither?

Vaping definitely dries me out. I'm good at work because I have access to the guns behind the bar, but I'm pretty lazy around the house and hate getting up for water, lol. I almost never have chapped lips, and I RARELY ever buy Chapstick, but I notice myself looking for it more and more now... you never know when you'll find a "friendly companion", and dry lips are the worst!! I take it with me now (when I remember), just in case!
Today, at work I got a little winded (out of breath), as I work in a physically demanding career. The air was extremely dry today and as I was literally panting to catch my breath, I felt my upper respiratory system getting raw, like sandpaper was in the air lol. I drank a good bit of water as things got back to more acceptable conditions. As I had caught my breath and quenched my thirst, I got an urge for a puff on my PV. The first puff was like the rough windpipe feeling from a few minutes before. I held off on vaping for a while after that and just drank my water like a good vaper.
I wouldn't say I get too dried out from vaping, but I have made a more conscious effort to drink more water. PG and VG are both humectants. This means they draw moisture from their environment. In our application, the moisture can be drawn from our bodies. It's best to increase your hydration by drinking water and water-based liquids.

At 70 to 80% PG, I was drinking water constantly at about 3 liters a day! I went to 100% VG and that extreme thirst stopped for me.
Hm. I never noticed a difference. Although I am a big time water drinker. That may be the case. I've always got water near me. I drink a ton of it at work (I avoid sugary and caffeinated drinks, I just can't handle them anymore).
yes, absolutely. good thing i drink lots of water anyway. regardless of vg/pg ratio, vaping definitely dries you up. it's logical. i used to get thirsty when i smoked cigs, too. it's good to drink water while vaping, anyway-gotta keep yourself lubricated.
Cigarettes always made me thirsty.
I had a bad diet soda habit. About a 24-pack of diet cokes every week, if not more. Since I started vaping and dieting I've replaced diet soda with hot tea at home and water at work. I still feel "dry" a lot of the time though.
The more water you drink the healthier you will feel, period - even if you're not vaping you should be drinking as much water as you can handle. I might pee every hour on the hour (TMI, I know) but I'm still flushing nasty cigarette chemicals (and soda chemicals, and all kinds of other crap) out of my body.

I think vapeing when dry can be harsh. The more fluids I consume, the less harsh vapeing seems.
I guess that explains why my smoking cough has dried up...other than NOT smoking anymore. I do find myself drinking more Powerade, tea and Dr Pepper.
Only one word on this. Drink WATER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.. Ok so I can't count but if you vape then drink fluid.
I'm considering trying a 100% VG mix. Has anybody else tried this, and did it have any effect on thirst?
I've decided to try a 100% VG mix. I'm going to start a new thread because there are other questions I want to ask about vaping 100% VG.
Don't forget to take condoms, too... (I'm not talking about the carto ones, either)!
I find that a higher PG ratio dries me out a little more. I have a lot of 70/30 but I prefer the 50/50 as I don't feel parched. Don't forget that everything tastes better when you're well-hydrated, so if that juice is funky it could be your taste buds needing some additional fluids!
crown royal is a fluid.
and i'm fairly certain that its water based.
does that count?
Not really. We're biologically designed to take in food and water. Water-based beverages that are not water are foods. Grape juice is a very good food, but it is a food. Soda pop is a junk food. Can you get some or much of your water intake needs by consuming water-based junk food? Certainly. But it is not even remotely as healthy or as efficient as drinking water, and should not be thought of as a water substitute.
Plus, caffeinated soft drinks (as well as alcoholic beverages) are diuretics, which means that they cause you to expel more water than you take in, causing dehydration, and attempting to hydrate oneself via dehydration is a very poor idea.
Tobbaco flavors make me more thirsty as opposed to other flavors, regardless of the pg vg ratio,anyone else noticed this?
