Why does vaping dehydrate me so bad?

Good bit of information here... I was wondering the same... Thanks for clearing that up a bit

I drink about 8 cups of water a day. That's about 1.92 L a day. An average size glass is about 1.5 cups. I drink about 2 full glasses of water when I wake up the morning. ( That's 3 cups) Then I drink at least 1 cup at eat meal. ( That's 4.5) cups. I don't really drink anything but water. From a weight loss perspective there is no sense of putting empty calories in your system.

If you think about how very little e-liquid we use, it cant really explain the giant plumes of visible vapor we produce. When you vaporize PG and/or VG, the temperature difference causes water vapor in the air to condense just like your warm breath on a cold day. In fact, the cooler the ambient temperature, the longer the vapor will remain visible--try exhaling your vapor into a glass filled with ice!

Obviously some of the water vapor is coming from our mouth and lungs, so constant vaping will tend to make your mouth and throat get a bit dry which can lead to one of the two biggest "risks" of vaping: dry mouth. Drinking water generally takes care of this problem, but it doesn't help with the other risk: Along with a slight case of dry mouth, many vapers develop a serious case of ACTIVISM.

Try a base 60%PG 30%VG 10%H2O. It works good for me, but I keep drinking water as well.

with the "water in your drinks" stuff, you need to be careful. soda, tea and coffee all have water in them, but the caffeene acts as a diuretic. My rule of thumb is to drink twice as much water as caffenated bevrages. And since i drink a 2 liter at work most days, when i get home it's 2 liters of water. the other two being 1 liter before i leave and another liter throughout the day at work.

keep in mind that i work in a dry, dusty warehouse in Orlando, the middle of a freaking swamp so i'm always sweating. I'll also go through a 64 ounce bottle of haterade and then refill the bottle with water and kill that too...
