Oddest thing that happens to me while i vape is actually salivating from the taste xD I drink alot of water but i always did :p Kinda funny when i start vaping and start salivating because the flavor is so nice :lol:
Nicotine causes salivation. Thee first stage of nicotine poisoning is drooling.

That's how it always starts for me. Then I end up with dry mouth.
Same but i drink water and 9/10 times i'm fine. Other times is either
1. i took some of that green stuff (which is normal then)
2. i'm incredibly hungry which dosen't happen very often.

Not poisoning calm down. It's just like when you start prepping food and you start salivating because you wanna eat it. I do this since 9/10 times it makes me wanna eat the actual fruit i'm vaping.

I have dry mouth to start will due to a medication I take. I found that reducing my coffee slightly and alternating with chamomile tea helps (with a bit of milk & honey in it). Also helpful: Biotene, and sugar free lozenges though I tend to use Ricola a lot, got kinda... into them when my throat was so bad and hoarse from smoking. But they do make herbal and other lozenges you can use.

PLEASE don't try to vape aloe vera juice, something tells me this is not a good idea. I think it would clog your tank, possibly, and maybe cause harmful biproducts in your vape. Aloe Vera is not a normal ingredient in e-juice. Just use it as a gargle or suck on a chunk in your mouth, if you can deal with the taste.

No solution lasts forever, I try to vary mine so I'm not constantly sucking on something, and I drink beverages slower.

PG is known to be more drying so reducing it in your vape may help you. I use Max VG and found after the initial adjustment(s) my dry mouth is no worse, and sometimes better than when I was smoking.

Good luck, it's trying, but experiment and you will find things that work for you.

I have plenty of Aloe plants around I could try and see if it even mixes and doesn't lump up in the e liquid. It's quite thick. I usually will scrape some gel for burns and cuts , it's a great healer. Also the Aloe Juice I buy is great as a antacid , soothes heartburn fast. Maybe it will prevent coil burn :lol:

I don't vape anything I'm not reasonably sure is safe to vape. Aloe liquid is in that not safe category for me. I wouldn't try it without doing a lot of research first.

This is the only thing I dislike about vaping. I drink enough water to drown myself and it's never enough. Any suggestions?

I've vaped a lot of different combinations of VG, PG and nic over the years. For me, nic is what makes my mouth feel dry. It doesn't dehydrate me, just gives me dry mouth. That goes away when I vape no-nic or low nic juice with any combination of VG and PG.

High PG juice makes my voice a bit hoarse. High VG doesn't do anything to me. But that's just me :)

Yeh I agree , I was just thinking about it only. I'm not the type to experiment like that. I did read somewhere though that people are mixing B vitamins in with E Juice . Vita Berry or something like that?

Ya, I've seen that before too. It would really surprise me if you could inhale vitamins ... My bet is it's just a marketing ploy from a shady supplier.

I was just talking about the dry mouth. I have plenty of them around my house as well and use them for sunburns all the time.

We have aloe vera drinks at the local grocery store that come from Mexico. Made with real sugar (yay!) and has little chunks in it. Lots of flavors. Very refreshing. Something like that may work and it's relatively inexpensive.

Can I ask why you are so interested in vaping weird stuff. I'm quite certain that normal, sublingual B vitamins are both cheaper, and more effective, when swallowed or ingested. Vaping things like B vitamins and aloe vera OR anything else besides e-juice in a vaporizer will be ineffective (even if marketed by an e-juice company) at best, and uselessly health decreasing as you vape, at worst. You just read several posts about how adding non-recommended items such as aloe vera and you come back asking about vitamin B?

To be clear, this site doesn't sanction those types of "experiments." This is a harm reduction site, not a "what non-studied items can I vape" site. If you really want to try it, I certainly can't stop you and I'm glad you are ASKING, but is there a reason you want to make vaping "healthy" or different than what it is? Vaping is a harm reduction device to stop using nicotine, for the most part, and starting out with questionable materials is only going to make things difficult or unhealthy for you, and I don't quite understand your desires in this direction.

Best of luck. Things to vape: Normal e-juice, find some flavors you like, and you're done. Period.
