VG vs PG dry mouth / Throat hit

[vapourflow]

Hey Gang,

Ive been vaping for a couple weeks now and was using the cartridges that came with my VOLT. I noticed my mouth didn't get THAT dry, but still a little. After getting my VG juices ive noticed my mouth has got so dry that i've wanted to quit. Ive been drinking lots of water and sometimes using a halls losenge. The VG has a TON more vapour. Wondering if you think PG has less dry mouth side effect than VG?

Also, i ordered some juices with 0 nic and some others with high nic. Ive noticed that it's really hard to get a throat hit with 0 nic juices. Is there anything other than nic i can add to get a throat hit in the 0 nic juices?

Thanks gang!

I've read that adding PGA (pure grain alcohol) will add TH but I've never tried it. Use a juice calculator to find out how much to use.

I always drank good amounts of water. Never have felt dry mouth or dehydrated despite vaping heavily.

Menthol drops added to any flavor (without a mint flavoring, the menthol mainly provides sensation) will give you TH, but it will be more of a "glow" and less of a peppery "scratch." Nic gives that beloved smoky scratch/mild burn.

I respect the fact that some people are PG sensitive, but I personally don't tolerate VG well and I encourage vapers to give high PG juices a fair try along with adequate hydration. Nicotine affects how the body metabolizes water, and anything introduced to the lungs demands water to process. VG is used in moisturizers, so it is less obviously drying for some people... but the body needs water to flush lingering VG out. PG does (IMO) cause respiratory dryness if the user doesn't compensate with oral hydration but has a 60+ year medical history in inhalers and I find it easier to tolerate.

Might try a slightly lower nic blend with higher PG than your current juice, and keep at it with the water.

They both seem the same to me.
