Vaping causes dehydration?

[Passionparamedic]

I've seen this mentioned a couple times. Can someone provide some insight as to why?

 

[Jocolb]

Not sure why but it happens to me too, I just drink lots of water while vaping.

I can't say why, but I have read about it and there IS an explanation.
When I first started vaping the dehydration was horrible, severe.
I thought, heck, if this continues I'll be up the creek as I don't drink much.
I cant even force myself to drink much. I am not drinking too much more than
before I started vaping, but somehow, the severe extreme dry cotton mouth etc
has subsided. I am a chain vaper too.

Here is a very informative article about vaper's dehydration on the Spinfuel blog:

The vapor attracts water molecules in your lungs, which condense into tiny droplets producing the fog that we see.

something like that anyway;

basically, you breathe in the stuff from the vape, and breathe out the stuff plus water vapor from your own lungs; effectively you lose more water from your lungs than you normally would.

Awesome link buggainok! It explains everything to a T. It's just too bad beer doesn't count toward water intake. Hahaha.

Yeah, there's always something, isn't there?

Ah! Thanks for the reminder; gotta go put some in the freezer for later.

Yes, I definitely experienced the same thing when I started vaping. I already drink lots of water throughout the day but I would have terrible cotton mouth every morning when I first woke up. Now I don't really get it at all except for the occasional vaper's tongue. It goes away over time.

Everyone's body is different and some, like my step-daughter and all her kids, guzzle liquids all day because they're just naturally thirsty people. The kids can't make it through the night without water sitting beside the bed. On the other hand, I'm a sipper naturally and never like drinking much of anything except morning coffee or iced tea with a meal. My SD has not noticed a greater need for liquids vaping but I did in the beginning. However, after over a year vaping I've evidentally adjusted somehow and don't as much anymore... maybe its more about detoxing than vaping? Climate has its own affect on hydration needs too.

I'm glad I stumbled upon this. That article was really helpful in explaining everything!

When I started vaping, I would get dehydrated not even realizing it was the vaping causing it. Good things there always some help to be given here and I found out it was dehydration lol.

Sucks, but you know what, I've increased my water intake by like %100.

Option #2 switch over to 100VG mix.... it doesnt dry out the system like PG does...

I get a cup of hot green tea and a glass of ice water when I vape which is ummmm alot. Tea makes the water taste better.
