Why does vaping make me so thirsty?

Why does vaping make me so thirsty? Is this normal? I looooove vaping, but I always have such a dry mouth now :/

I'm not sure why, but it does dry you out. I usually keep a beverage handy.

Mints and or chewing gum works great also.

PG and VG are both humectants...
Humectant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The idea is that they draw moisture (water) from your body, which is why you need to drink more water.

What DC2 said. Definitely need to drink lots of water.

The base liquids (the PG and VG) form vapor by absorbing moisture. Some of the moisture they're absorbing is yours. So you definitely have to drink more water while vaping.

after 4 months I've noticed I don't get as dried out as I did when I first started vaping..

not sure if your body gets adjusted to it or not.. but also when I was using 24mg nic level it was much worse than now using 12mg

Your body tends to get used to it i think and it bothers you less, but yeah at first id get some nasty dry throat. Took me maybe 3 months to get fully used to vaping

Somehow I have never heard that word before. I like it, but I'm weird that way.

Yeah, it's hard to tell if it affects me less or I'm just used to it now or what but I don't notice it like I used to. Maybe getting in the habit of sipping water a little more frequently?

Heh. What's fun is hold a bit of water in your mouth then vape. Ya get lotsa vapor.

I've noticed when I exhale through my nose little droplets of moisture form.

When I first started I realized they make raisins by feeding grapes vapor and coffee.

Had to drink a lot at first, but it passed after a couple of weeks. Haven't thought about it at all, so must have settled itself.
