Propylene glycol is hygroscopic, meaning it attracts water. Im sure you will start to feel it if you dont drink a lot. I lm dehydrated right now lol!
Pg and vg are hygroscopic meaning it pulls water to itself. I only a couple of times had a problem with this as I normally drink large amounts of water. You are not vaping that much. If you drink plenty already I don't think you will have a problem.

Hey there! vaping dehydrates you! Plain & simple. I'm sure someone will come along with a more technical explanation soon.
I find that the water keeps the juice tasting better. I can tell a big difference if Im not drinking water. After a while water is all that you crave.
Surgical and JJOOHHNN have it explained well. Vapers need four hands: 1 for the PV, 1 for a bottle of water, and the other 2 to do normal stuff.
In a nutshell, water molecules in your lungs attach to the PG/VG molecules and you blow it all out. This doesn't happen with smoke molecules.
I don't think the OP will even notice [the dehydration] since he is only vaping 1ml or less per day
When I first started vaping I was probably using around .5ml to 1ml per day and I had some localized dehydration issues, that being mouth and sinuses. Upped my water intake to no less than 64 oz per day, consumed throughout the day, and things really improved. Now I have less upper respiratory problems, and my sinuses are the best they have been in many years.
Most folks probably don't get enough plain water intake on a daily basis, whether they vape or smoke, or neither. Even if you aren't dehydrated from vaping, drinking more water is only going to help your body's systems work better. Just don't over do it, it is possible to drink too much water and incur related health issues.

When I was a younger adult, I started drinking less water. My pee got more yellow. I didn't worry about it. After 6 months, it started hurting when I went #1... Doctor time!! Kidney stones caused by a buildup of minerals, which happened because I was not flushing them out!
Once was enough. Passing the stones (very small ones) felt like pulling a cactus through my..um...well YOU know...
Never again!
Drink more water and save yourself from a painful experience.

Yes Vaping will dehydrate you but for me its a plus, as i have Congestive Heart Failure and other problems serious edema from my waist down.. Vaping helps me better than the Doctors meds for ridding the fluid in my body and he approves of it....
Yeah, your lungs could get dry, but then you drink water and it's ok.
You could starve, too. But you eat every day so it all works out.
Not everyone. There are deaths from drinking too much water and throwing electrolytes off all the time. I am very very active and will have my dehydrated moments but I am some of the time over hydrated out of some habits. Now what has sent me to the doctor twice was not dehydration but too little salt because of the amount I drink and my activities.
Because vaping takes water out of you and it needs to be replaced.
Drinking water is good for you anyway.. flushes out your system. Also helps you lose weight 
What habits were those???
Hyponatremia from overhydration is a real thing and happens, but *deaths* from it are rare. It is very, very hard to drink enough water to die. A normal person can't just drink a bunch of water and be like "whoops, drank too much!" It takes more water than a person could casually chug down.
A healthy person that isn't over-exercising in midday heat can--and should--drink as much water as they want.
I'm really curious though: what were you doing? The only real-life cases I've seen of serious water intoxication were at my high school (summer football practice in AZ), and a stupid contest on the radio called "Don't Wee for Wii". Contestants were supposed to drink as much water as they could without urinating ::face palm::.
