I find that most flavors that put me off are dry. They actually feel dry across my tongue. Now, I may suffer from dry-mouth, but I don't think it's anything major. My salivary glands produce quite well. I know our bases are humectants and are prone to dehydrating us. I also know sodium can lead to dehydration. None the less, I know I like salt. Generally, I add salt to most plates of food. salt causes saliva production. is there any way to get a salty flavor to add to mixes? Opinions or knowledge welcome!

So strange.....I have been adding salt to my food like crazy ever since I started vaping...i thought it was strange, because I kept thinking I was supposed to be tasting better and would need less salt...go figure.

Having said that, i think i had worse "dry mouth" with smoking, but have to admit it hasn't completely gone away. Of course I have only been vaping 3 months give some.

Have you tried any of the savory flavors out there...bacon, tomato, etc? (tomato is savory to me)

I was having trouble with a few mixes being dry too. I had some wisdom teeth pulled last week though and they instruct you to rinse with salt water after eating and several times a day. since doing this I have noticed ones that were so dry I guzzled water to have them are not so bad.

I did do a bit of research and the salt helps to maintain the right ph as well to keep everything healthy. some people think it is much better than retail mouthwash. so far my experience this week is my mouth overall feels better. I was previously using mouthwash 3-4 times a day but I have only been using saltwater and regular brushing this past week.
