Newbie here - Can someone explain bout the dry throat

[frogmansg]

Hi people. Just switched to vaping after years of smoking analogs. Why do I get always get a dry throat after vaping only a few puffs?

Many new vapors experience this. Vaping is different from inhaling cigarette smoke, and your body will eventually adjust to the change. Vaping also can dehydrate your mouth and throat, causing a layman's term called 'cotton mouth'. Drink plenty of water and use some hard candy or throat lozenges to alleviate your symptoms.

At first, I would suck the vapor right into my lungs like smoking a cigarette and I found that this caused my throat to become irritated the most. After reading the sticky on "How to smoke an e-cig", the irritation and dry-mouth started to cease!

It also helps to have hard candy around at first and remember to drink lots of liquids.

Sorry to be a bit dense, but I can't find that sticky... I've looked and used the search but I can't see the wood for the trees... I'd like a read out of curiosity... please could you tell me where you found it?x

if you are getting a nasty taste like burning cotton there is a possibility your atty is frying, just a thought but other than that drink fluids while vaping and hard candys work as well.

i vape all day at work and i almost always have a 32oz drink near me, heck my devices are like a pacifier for me honestly

Hmmm...I've been doing it wrong! LOL! Ooops! Well...you learn something new every day! At least it isn't a Friday...my great great aunt used to say that if you learned something new on a Friday, you'd get another wrinkle on your bum... my mum never accepted this as an excuse not to go to school though...

Thanks for posting!x
