vaping as a laxative

[input_output]

Not sure how and why, but i think i can add vaping(any flavour) to my known list of items that acts as a laxative for me.
The effect is sometimes within the hour..

Ive read on another post about ppl going to the toilet more after vaping, but not many were complaining abt doing number 2. The dryness of the throat and lips are kinda common i guess?

Am i the only unlucky bugger?

Check your juice. I personally bought some cheap juice and that's what happened..

hmmmm, thats interesting.
So far i can only get Liqua here from where i am. I wonder if anyone else who vapes liqua went thruogh the same thing?

You may want to refer to the "A list of symptoms when quitting tobacco and changing to an ecigarette" thread on the Health, Safety and Smoking board, though I quote:

9. Diarrhoea
Again, this may be a tobacco withdrawal synptom although it has been claimed that intolerance to PG might be the cause. Once again, a switch to VG accompanied by the immediate cessation of diarrhoea would confirm it.

A cuppa coffee, a few stinkies and a trip to the bathroom every morning was my routine before vaping. Now, a cuppa coffee and vaping my brains out and a trip to the bathroom is my routine. I believe (not going to research to verify my memory so I will just say "I believe") caffeine and nicotine both have that effect on many people. I know caffeine is a diuretic.

Are you using an elevated nicotine content? I would also wonder if you are having a reaction to either the pg or the vg. It's too bad you can't order some different eliquid in varying concentrations. I have increased the pg in my juices because they just work better for me at about 60/40.

OOPS. Looks like I was a bit late with my response. Gematria has the link and everything. Like she said.

Do NOT vape the prune juice.

Gematria probably nailed it better than I did.

Totally normal result of using nicotine.

For some reason vaping doesn't have this effect on me, while smoking always did. I used to wake up in the morning have a cig and immediately have to go to the bathroom, but I feel like I'm barely going anymore since I picked up vaping. I kinda wish it did work like cigs sometimes, I felt more regular. Maybe its just the effects of detoxing from the rest of the crap in cigs

And I thought it was that Burrito I had at Taco Bell. Silly me...

Also, fair warning: Do NOT eat the grape jelly in a MRE.

Analogs always made me run to the bathroom but not during vaping...mouth gets really dry tho

If you have recently quit smoking too (you didn't say) chances are any short term GI changes are the result of quitting smoking rather than starting vaping.

But you are putting that PV in the right.. place? Aren't you? That could explain a lot...

i will say my doc prescribs miralax to me its a white powder u add to water. on the bottle it says its polypropalene glycol. forgive my spelling. now i dont know if smokin it works like taking the powder? anyway since vaping it has never acted like a laxative on me. but seems like same chemical name.

When you get older scents make you poop.

Make sure you drink enough water so you don't dehydrate! ........ is known to dehydrate people and the OP also mentioned dry mouth and lips.

You may have to experiment to see if it is a flavoring or PG/VG. But it could just be the quit symptoms like everyone says.

I have some liqua menthol I use and have no problems.

hahaha, nice.

i doubt its the quitting symptoms. Cos ive gone cold turkey for sometimes as long as 3 weeks. Until the next analog stick or two, or three. Cos not once during the 3 weeklong period of going cold turkey did i go to poop as much as i did few days ago.

Currently im just monitoring my flavor intake and see if there's any discrepancies between them.

Thanks everyone for the input, at least now i know there are some side effects to vaping and im trying to read up if any of the symptoms are applicable to me.
