Vaping and Dry Mouth?

[spudboy]

Hi all--

I got my eGo yesterday and am really enjoying it. One day without an analog! Hey, it's a start.

Anyways, I noticed that after vaping for a while, my mouth/tongue gets pretty dry. Is this normal? Or could it be that some juices make your mouth drier than others?

spudboy,

You are absolutely correct. vaping is dehydrating so it is highly recommended to increase your liquid intake. It is completely normal. =)
Welcome to EFC and congrats on your first day analog free! That's awesome.

Congrats on your day without a cigarette Spuds!!!!

Thanks for the welcome. I'll start chuggin' on some water when I vape

I've heard PG is much more drying than VG and this bears out in my own experience as well

since I've been vaping 100% VG juices I haven't needed to suck down all that extra water -- VG does dull the flavor of juices though, so get more flavor if you go that route -- plus I heard VG causes phlegm, although I haven't found this to be true -- maybe for people who stay properly hydrated (not me hehe...) it does that

Both tend to dry out the mouth I advise drinking the water ....

You will love the Ego, I have had mine now for 42 days and am analog free! And what is so neat, no need to look back as I don't have any desire for an analog. Tried one on day 7 and it tasted terrible. As far as the dry mouth, as everyone says, you will probably find you need to drink more water yet I have found over time my saliva buds have adjusted. Everyone is different though, enjoy and good luck on your journey!
Vape On!

Yea water is always good to drink anyway but when it comes to vaping I have empty water bottles spread out all throughout my house, I find them in the weirdest places.

Grats!!

I use juices that are 70pg/30vg and am also going to try 80/20. Some like 50/50. The Chinese 100% PG that comes with many starter kits and sold by some mainly-hardware vendors was enough to get me off analogs but it was harsh on my tongue. Not too bad for me in dryness because I always sip at liquids ALL day - tea, water, etc. But my tongue felt a bit irritated and tingly. The 70/30 leaves my tongue feeling normal.

If you want to try some different ratios, FreedomSmokeUSA offers a variety of ratios. Gourmet Vapor may offer even more ratios and I think they are having a 40% off sale with code gv40. Some of their flavors are theirs and some are user-created. You can mix your own flavors there too, and then buy them in whatever nic and PG/VG ratio you want. I made some weird ones to try but I won't make them public there unless they came out well.

Yes, 70/30 PG/VG seems to be my magic ratio too.

dangit... just made an order from GV... I looked all over for the discount code I used for last week's order -- couldn't find it...

but yeah, GV lets you pick (in increments of 10% I think) the exact ratio of PV/VG -- all the way to 100% either way -- plus they allow double and even triple (!) flavor

as much as I like FSUSA, I think my main juice supplier is gonna be GV -- great juice on my first order, even if I did design them meself hehe

 

[deback]

If you decide to order more from GV, the code GV40 is good through 12/15/10.

Congratulations, Spud!

Thanks! So far I've been really enjoying my new (and potentially expensive) habit. So many flavors to try.
