What happened to rip trippers?

Funny....the expectations we have on some dude trying to make a buck with a camera and some vape gear. Seems people expect more out of him than the db's running for president.
He's a lonely guy in a room with a camera. He has no formal degree in medicine or vaping. He's a clown. To some degree, every vape reviewer is a clown. This is an adult site and an adult activity. If rip trying to make a buck really upsets you, look in a mirror. That should upset you too.

The only reason people do claim vaping can cause dehydration is chemically glycerin is a simple polyol. Meaning it's a sugar alcohol making it also hydroscopic, meaning it will absorb water from the air and it's surroundings.
Given that, inhaling something that absorbs water only to exhale it, it could be feasible for this to happen. But that's assuming you never drink anything outside of a few hours.

Well...if this isn't the question of the day, I don't know what is.

What's wrong with Rip Trippers? If you figure it out, let me know. I find personality disorders interesting.

LOL...............

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.

You forgot - A bit of topic.........................

Do you ever go back and read your post? You include so much and change lanes so much and cover so many different things, it makes it impossible at times for anyone to even consider replying in any meaningful fashion.

However, to possible assist on a singular point - dehydration:
Properties of Propylene Glycol |

What Is Glycerin? | Glycerol

Both PG and VG are Hygroscopic, absorbing water<Over Time> Lots of Time.

* Wet Lips - Both may remove some moisture
*Chapped lips - Both may deliver moisture

Consider the activity required for a fit person to achieve dehydration. Consider the standard treatment of dehydration and preventative or dehydration.

Consider you overall health
Your Vaping Habits
Overall Vaping consumption

Is Vaping your problem? Maybe - recommendation as always - Stop and see

** In context or your Streaming post. I have always been Sports active and worked Labor intensive employment. I have suffered and seen suffering from dehydration many times over the years, long before Vaping was a concern.

That is not denial, but rather taking things with a grain of Salt.
Drs. and labs have a purpose.

You know I've been watching people on FB tear up Rip for this video & didn't understand the fuss! Now after watching the vid here I REALLY DON'T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
See I go in every year for a blood test for various reasons! Last year before I started Vaping (still smoking) my blood work was perfect! When I got the results of this years blood work it showed signs of mild dehydration! The only thing that has happened in my life that might cause this is that I started vaping a year ago! My fluid intake remained the same & I know this because I keep track of it because I've had kidney stones! So my solution is drink more water! Hmm, that makes at least 3 people that that suffer from dehydration that have been mentioned in this thread alone! Do I have cramps? HECK NO! Do I believe that cramps are the DIRECT effect of VAPING? Again NO! I think the cramps were caused by severe dehydration! My point is that Rip did the right thing to let people know what might be the cause if they're having some of the same symptoms! Do I like the way it was done? Ehh! Probably not! Especially with the way things are going for vaping right now! The thing that the haters don't seem to understand about what all their negative comments are still bringing this video to the people who don't know about, or who are against vaping! Enough please!

Eaaah.............after 3 views, I still do not see the PSA in all that Sales Shpeel....
Watched many RT videos, always took him with a Grain of Salt.

The man said it was not a commercial, yet it Was one heck of a Product Sales Pitch.

It used Vaping in a Negative light to Promote a Health(maybe) Product and was pedaled almost like Snake Oil.

If Hydration is an issue, and many suffer from becoming easily dehydrated, then Vaping may tip the scale. That would make it additive, not causative.
Some people MAY be special cases.
Some cannot eat Strawberries.

This is not ignorance, it is logical assumption.
I am a Very small framed person with little(very little) body fat. I have struggled with Dehydration all my life.

Dr is the most responsible way to treat/combat Dehydration. Not Snake oil sales.
Tell me I need to up my electrolytes, Not I need Brand X with electrolytes to combat dehydration.

Meh, it's interpretation differential. He's claiming X, Y, and Z issues that he's relating to vaping and his path to a "solution" ending in an endorsement of a Crystal Lite-like product.. If he had pitched a particular brand or blend of juice over this other product as being the "solution" to his problem, it would hardly be a blip on the vaping radar. But because it was something else not related to vaping he's pitching, people get bent out of shape.

Almost.................but naw, not everyone that has a look at RT videos is a mindless RT fan. Some of of us do actually go - WachUtalkinBout?

Are there ANY side effects to ..... eating ?

 

[thetrucker]

You would be surprised at some of the ...finger pointers.....if they were really popular on youtube and were approached by

a company to do an advertisement and thought they could pull it off and make some NICE money they would probably do it.

As one opportunity leeds to another and you have got to think of your future and who's going to pay your bills........
'
I can understand the reaction that some people got to Rip turning into a health Guru and tying it all to Vaping......

But people would not appreciate it even if he did turn down oppurtunities to make money from his popularity....you would still

have your HATERS...........the story seems to go both ways..........for and against.......

I just take Rip with a grain of salt as I do with any of them and do not get too serious about anything that is said on these reviews on youtube........

When Rip or any of the others start to get on my nerves I just go to another reviewer......they are all human......

and have to look out for themselves............just sayin..............

 

[sparkky1]

YES ........... that's why I just stick with tap water and trips to Delhi .......................

 

[motordude]

Who cares about u tube reviewers or what is the talk on Facebook?
The whole internet social is for people who need to get out and actually talk to someone, and use the Internet as a tool to read and research actual facts.
I'm only on this site to stay up to date on vaping media reports, and to learn from fellow vapers.
Oh, and to rant a little and have some fun.

I've seen this "if you were offered xxx money you'd do the same" sorry that's a load of rubbish I'm on what I think you call welfare in the US because of medical issue's and if I was offered a million to make a video blaming vaping for any health issue I'd tell them to sod off. If I didn't believe in vaping I wouldn't be doing it and helping others to make the switch and if you truly believe in something it isn't for sale at any price that's just an excuse for what some people do and know it was wrong. I've not seen anything to actually backup he even has the issues he claims and if dehydration was an issue how stupid do you have to be to go into a sauna. He is a guy whose only loyalty is too money and that's fine I don't care if that's the case but be honest about it and take the hit.
