Is it the PG or the VG that gives "dry mouth" ?

[Flt Simulation]

I am currently vaping 50% PG / 50% VG juice.

I keep getting dry mouth and the more I vape, the worse it gets. It's the worse when I wake up in the morning (after vaping the night before)

Is it the PG or the VG in the juice that is causing this? ... I want to eliminate the cause and vape 100% PG or 100% VG when I find out which of the two is the problem causing dry mouth.

Thanks for the link ... Well, it's the PG that is causing my dry mouth.

Since I make my own juice, I will just use 100% VG based nicotine instead of mixing with PG base ... Of course I can't completely eliminate the PG because most of the flavoring I use is PG based (but I can eliminate most of the PG from my DIY juice).

I don't have an intolerance for PG ... I just don't like the dry mouth it gives me.

Yea i know what you mean...
50/50 blends work pretty okay for me so far.
Most important thing is to keep yourself hydrated. I myself did the mistake of not hydrate myself in the start. I went on and drink coffee like i always would.
It wasnt pleasant to get dehydrated :/

Since then i've cut down on my coffee and drink more water instead and now i don't realy have the dry mouth issue.
Except for the mornings, but that could also be that we're sleeping with our mouths open you know.

And yea it's a shame that flavourings comes in PG.

For me, it was definitely the PG. Forget about 'dry mouth', I would sometimes wake up the next morning with a sore throat...

(Still beats waking up with that heavy feeling in your lungs given by tobacco smoke. What we used to call the 'tobacco hangover'... )

Anyway, since I had a decent stash of 18mg 100% PG liquid, I started buing 0mg 100% VG to mix.

I usually mix them fifty-fifty, so that I get half the nicotine strength and 50% VG.

That setteld the problem! No more sore throat for me after a night out.

Try mixing with distilled water instead of PG. It still thins the liquid but doesn't affect flavor or feeling vs 100% VG.

Also there are PLENTY of VG based flavors out there if you really wanted to get closer to a 100% ratio.
