Vapor dry throat

[BloodWolf]

You'd think vaping would MOISTEN your throat instead of drying it out. Any thoughts why water vapor drys out your throat?

I would think because vaping causes dehydration it would also dry your throat out if you're not drinking plenty of water. But that is only my thoughts.

But I wonder WHY it dehydrates. I mean after all it's supposed to be water vapor. (Not being a ....,just curious)

it only does that to me with certain juices... sweet ones like pancake/butterscotch/ apple pie etc... they don't dry out my throat but lemonade type juices get to me

ive seen in other forums that its also the PG content in the juice that dries out your throat

Yes drink plenty of water, vaping is dehydrating. The water you make vapour with comes from you I drink before and after I vape. bnrk

drink while you vape. water is your friend. that's just the way it is. it pulls water from inside of you.

Propylene Glycol is hygroscopic. What that means is that it sucks water out of you or anything (basically) That is why you can puff on your PV a little and not inhale and it looks like only a little vapor comes out, but when you inhale you can get clouds of vapor.

You're not being a .... at all. But I do believe everybody else beat me to answering you though.

i always wondered that too. water is your friend, even if you don't vape. but then i question why you're here.

And someone said nicotine in 100% PG is the most drying. I recommend juices with a bit of VG in them (like 80PG/20Vg will work with every method of vaping) and drink plenty of fluids (and alcohol doesn't count - doesn't really hydrate you)

I didn't know that, I just knew I was thirsty all the time, Thank you!!!

As I understand it, the glycerin will draw the moisture from your mouth and throat, giving you a feeling of dehydration, therefore you get a dry mouth and throat, and sometimes a sore throat. Not enough to actually cause dehydration, but it's still a good idea to drink a lot of water (we should anyway ). So, vape on and drink plenty of water (need a water drinking emote ).
