You are applying what happens in a test tube to what happens in a human body, and they aren't even close in approximation, as there are 100s of variables that you haven't plugged in to your simple formula.

Yeah, but even medical doctors don't know the complete body system, they specialize in a certain area. For example if you are taking psychiatric medications and go to a dermatologist, the dermatologist will ask you for a list of current medications, but they just stick that into their computer to see if there are any complications between both treatments. I don't think every MD is a guru with everything. That said how could even a mere un-trained human know either way.

Sorry, not that simple.

Hormone levels, blood sugar, medications, and biological conditions that affect how the body regulates water balance, and how an individual's brain, kidneys, various glands, and hormones work in concert, for instance, how the hypothalmus detects water in the blood and signals the reslease of anti dueuretic hormones, etc. , and even how fast one's heart beats.....all vastly affect the "overly simplistic" explanation you just gave.

Not at all "formulaic" -----

of note, the anecdotal reports by vapers pretty much across the board that they have to hydrate more.....and they aren't just hydrating with a few *teaspoons* of water either. Which is all they would need according to your model.

Perhaps, but Dr.s say Hydrate. i.e. drink plenty of fluids. By the way, did you know Fluids(according to most) is strictly Water?
Now if you are already following Good practice, possibly over emphasizing and possibly(maybe) remove 5ml of H2o(That is .16907oz) By either vaping or Sweating over the course of a Day, and that caused critical health issues...........wouldn't you think the person needed to be hospitalized? o_O

You keep calling peoples answers short and overly simple, yet through your micro management of Crisis, you turn over no actual stones. :rolleyes:

Please look up PG/VG Absorption and then ML to Oz conversion.

Good exercise makes one sweat much more.

If you want people to start listening, perhaps stop coming off as if you are always yelling at them, or better than.

A few years ago, we were preparing to move from Ohio to California for my daughter's fourth year of Graduate School. We were trying to prepare my grandson, who has autism, for this major change in his lifestyle. We had recently started vaping, and my daughter and I were vaping as we had smoked, that is, we were chain vaping under stress. I was also on prescribed antidepressants, anti anxiety meds, and blood pressure meds. You bet I had some issues with proper hydration. It took me a while to first figure out what was going on, and then to take care of the problem. At this point in my life, there is always a glass or cup of some sort of liquid by my side.

Right now, my grandson, who does not vape, is on some fairly heavy duty prescription meds for issues related to his autism, some of which can lead to hydration issues. The Koolaid pitcher is always full (he will not drink plain water, one of his quirks with the autism), we have nice juicy fruits on hand (he is partial to grapes, strawberries, and clementines or oranges). Whether he wants it or not, he always gets a large glass of non-caffeinated beverage with every meal, snack, and his meds. We have everything on hand to make homemade Gatorade (Fakerade, as it is known in our house). If we think it is necessary, we purchase "real" Gatorade for him. He is actively encouraged to keep liquids in his room for sipping when he wants them.

We moved from Ohio, with higher humidity, to Northern California, which, in the last few years, has been under drought conditions - little to no rain, high, dry heat, etc. Add to that central heat when we need it, air conditioning quite a bit of the year, and you have other contributors to hydration issues.

Hydration issues can affect anyone, at any time, for any variety of reasons. Vaping can be a contributor, along with nicotine, caffeine, medications, etc. Personally, I would not "blame" vaping for hydration issues, nor would I discount the effects it can contribute to hydration issues.

    How do you make your fakerade (love the name)? I really dislike water(unless very thirsty/nothing else to drink ) and need something uncarbonated and hydrating to drink. Been thinking about also getting some coconut water (yum) but it is so expensive. :)
