Dry mouth after vaping

[hairball]

Dry mouth? Yes it's normal. You aren't drinking enough water.

I've been vaping for about a week, at first my throat was getting really dry, not sure why it's not anymore. I also use these quite frequently. I think you can get them at cvs or walgreens etc....

i have also felt liek i haev a frog in my throat from tiem to time...any help on this? links to threadS?

If you know its not phlem then the frog in the throat feeling is probably inflamation that could be caused by burning of the esophagus due to heartburn, OR swelling of the throat due to swolowing (cant spell today!) because of having a dry throat due to dehydration....

sometimes yes...I to have experienced this not sure why..you have to remember you are vaporizing a liquid with a heating element and inhaling a heated gas. Vape for thought..

PG and VG are both humectant/dessicants

A desiccant or humectant is a hygroscopic substance that induces or sustains a state of dryness (desiccation) in its local vicinity...

When you first start vaping your body is not one bit used to this, and you'll notice it a LOT. As you vape more you get accustomed to it. I personally think it's because you start drinking more water to accommodate, and it just becomes second nature.

Keep yourself hydrated, and carry some gum to keep saliva flowing. I find it's the worst when I first wake up, and now always go to sleep with a glass of water beside the bed.

Anyway, it's perfectly normal.

Another side effect I experienced was a tight/soreness in the larger muscle groups, particularly upper legs. This passes after a couple weeks also.

propylene glycol is eliminated from the body by oxidation through alcohol dehydrogenase to form lactic acid

Normally (via exercise) this build up occurs and the body rids itself of the excess after an hour-ish. When vaping you are supplying a continuous supply.

After such exercise, the muscle adapts rapidly to prevent muscle damage, and thereby soreness, if the exercise is repeated

Hope this helps.
