What happened to rip trippers?

Rip took up drinking to try to wash away haters. Drinking to wash away problems leads to more problems. LOL
Which is why I said "some people were offended because there was an inference that hypothyroidism is caused by being fat...."
I thought I make it clear that the reason people were outraged is because hypothyroidism ISN'T caused by being fat.
Hence, my sarcastic remark about people taking "advice" from Rip Trippers, who doesn't know what he's talking about when it comes to health topics.
Basically, if you're dehydrated, and don't test positive hypothyroidism or anything else that would cause that, then it follows that it "may" be from vaping. ( I am such a case, and have reams of medical reports to show this. )
However, people need to go to doctor and get actual tests, etc. because people on an internet forum or you tube video who don't have medical degrees can't ascertain that for you.
Simple called sold out for money; which isn't a first. But what hurt is he sold out the vaping Community & cause while at it
He sold out the vaping community? By making absurd and incorrect statements about health .... and then pimping a hydration product.
Not sure how that is selling out the vaping community, he just sold himself out from what I can see. I don't feel sold out at all.
He always seemed like a guy that was way too happy to be trustworthy. Kind of insane actually. But his Rainbow Nuggets juice is phenomenal...
What happened to RT? He sold out vaping for a few bucks, antz ran with it...

He's not getting one more view from me.

That's interesting Racehorse. I've never seen any data that makes me think vaping can cause dehydration any more than just using nicotine can. You say 'it may be from vaping'. If you have nay more information than that I would love to know about it.
Well it's like anything else. A "chronic" condition, absent any systemic explanation, and you have to attribute it to "something".
My internist has my blood results for 10 years. Last 3 years (which correspond to me vaping) keep coming up showing dehydration. So, we did all the tests, i.e. anything systemic that would cause this (Sjorgrens Syndrome, Hypothyroidism, gastroenteritis, diabetes, and other metabolic disorders.) We also went over my medications but I really don't take anything. We've been over every possible etiology including dietary supplements.
So, I don't have any kind of disorder that would cause dehydration, with a sudden onset and the dehydration is sustained (and the only lifestyle change is that it occurred, and continues, in the time I started vaping).
I have even increased my water and water-laden foods by at least 1x with no result.
So I "know" vaping has lead to signs of dehydration in my particular body, unless there is some medical reason that 3 doctors have been unable to explain, and "we" (my medical team) has been unable to supply a reason. I don't drink alcohol (or even coffee anymore).
I suggested to my doc, as an experiment, that I quit vaping for a few months and then see what my readings are. I can use another form of harm reduction in the meantime.
By the way, when I quit smoking for 5 years prior to this, I was using chantix and patches and did not have dehydration during the time I was using them, so I know it's not nicotine.
I believe it may be the VG/PG.
So I think I will do the experiment soon.......
I really like the way you think
If you do that experiment, I would love to know the result.
But, how would you know it was either the PG or VG? I'm assuming you vape nic.
I tried to blame being a 75 year old Cranky Squonker on vaping. My wife of 54 years reminded me that I was Cranky when we met in 1960. Go figure.....

Actually, I used to vape nicotine but I rarely do anymore.
I will be glad to let you know what happens and if I stop for a while. Even mild dehydration really isn't good for the body over time, can't be good for cells, etc. so I'm looking to get to the bottom of this!
There are thousands of posts all over the internet, including this forum, where there are people who just can't vape. For various reasons that are individual to them.
To pretend that vaping is 100% without any side effects, that it will not contribute to ANY condition, etc. is really a pretty ridiculous statement IMHO.
Everyone's body is different. There used to be a few people here who had to give up vaping for different reasons, one person could not tolerate ANY PG.
When I heard Rip talk about muscle cramps, I think that is one that a lot of people can relate to. Because I've encountered many vapers who have that problem (and it probably is related to dehydration).
I dunno guys, but it seems like this inability to ascribe ANY side effects to vaping, just because it isn't happening to you, seems a bit much to me. Everything has side effects, even eating certain foods, for certain people.
I have noticed this past year that every time a fellow vaper wants to discuss something like that, they have to pepper their posts with apologies, with "I'm not trolling but......." .
It's almost become like one has to genuflect and prostrate oneself JUST in order to bring up a problem one might have with vaping.
This isn't how it should be. It really isn't. Not if you want to have honest authentic conversations and not if you are open minded.
If this becomes yet another "can't talk about that" subject, then I can't really relate. If talking about ways in which vaping may affect us is now considered "selling out the vaping community" then there is some kinda lock-step going on that, quite frankly, I do not want to be part of.
Some of you really take it too far IMHO. It borders on paranoia.
Guess what? Some people can't vape. That's a fact.
Guess what? Vapor and smells of eliquid vaporizing does actually bother some people. (There are MANY posts over the years here that somebody's family doesn't like a *particular* eliquid smell that somebody is vaping, so they change eliquids and everything is fine. ) My family is entirely pro vaping, but my brothers are quite bothered by vapor in an enclosed car, so I dont' do that to them. (they have never smoke and both have asthma).
I was never a "rude" smoker, and I'm certainly not going to change that now that I am vaping.

Ryedan, is nicotine "dehydrating"? I was not, and am not aware that it is. Don't remember reading about that here.
I thought it was pg / vg that "might" have that affect on some people?
I LOVE nicotine, but it always had the effect of being rather stimulating ---- which I liked. Now that I rarely use nicotine, I just feel calmer and I sleep better. That may also be because I stopped using coffee too though. It was reallly giving me a lot of heartburn. I will probably start again but wanted to stop for a while, as I didn't feel good on coffee.

Every cause has a traitor, every traitor many a hater. Situation looks normal.
