Is VG Better For Dehydration Issues?

[hcour]

I'm having major dehydration issues. I currently use 80/20 & 70/30 PG/VG mixes. I seem to recall reading that PG contributes to dehydration and therefore a higher or even pure VG mix is better for this problem. Is this true?

PS - If anyone posts that I should just drink more water I will find out where you live and come over to your house and kick your dog. I'm drinking GOBS of water and getting my electrolytes.

I find that PG drys my throat so have nearly always used 50/50. I still have slight dehydration problems, but nothing significant so it is probably true. The only way to be 100% though is to try it.


OH forgot to say DRINK MORE WATER!!!!!

Just drink more water...

Seriously, those are very high PG ratios and if you vape as much as I do it is sure to be a factor. I would try higher VG juice and see if it goes away.

I vape high PG juices with no dehydration issues. I eat fruit and drink plenty of water during heavy vape sessions, however...

I agree, Drink More water.
I live in Glasford, Illinois, and my dog is protected with an agreement with Smith & Wesson, and his owner collects knifes as well.
Okay, now seriously, I have found that when I am vaping my higher VG blends I get less of the dehydrated throat, than I even come close to when I am doing 50/50 or 40PG/60VG.

Ok, thanks all. I've ordered a couple of small bottles, one 20/80 PG/VG and one pure VG. Really looking forward to trying them out.

And I've decided to let your dogs off the hook since you were helpful.

Is this just an "oral thing" for you - as in a dry mouth problem? Any input from a Dentist? Because this tends to be a bigger problem for people with a pre-existing problem with dry mouth. If you have dry mouth you may have to drink more water than the rest of us. And I don't have a dog - so neener.

I don't know if VG is less hygroscopic than PG, but I doubt it since it produces more vapor. Some of the technical 411 can be found here. => http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/ecf-library/177551-pg-vg-peg.html

Just a quick follow-up - After over two months of vaping 100% VG I can say for sure that my dehydration issues are gone, baby, gone. I'm even vaping a helluva lot more than I did previously and having no problemo whatsoever.

I would highly recommend anyone having dehydration issues to consider trying higher/pure VG.

PG and VG both absorb water. Drink plenty throughout the day.

Glad to read you are beyond the issues of dehydration.
Did anyone mention drinking more?

I do 100VG so I havent noticed any dehydration....
but this is what PG will do to you.....

LOL ! Looks like a "TRUTH" commercial.

Drink more water. You'll have to bring both a snow shovel and a regular one, though!
