I'm having serious dehydration problems. Here's the deal: I've been off the analogs and vaping for about 14 weeks now. Until last week, I had been using a Volt X2 650mah auto-battery. I take a medication which dehydrates as a side-effect and I'd had some minor dehydration issues vaping with the Volt, but drinking a reasonable amount of water took care of that.
Last week I got a Provari Mini, which I love, but after a couple of days I started having major dehydration issues. As anyone who's used VV probably knows, these things produce massive vapor, considerably more than my Volt X2 ever did. I assume this increase in vapor, along with the side-effects of my medication, has caused this dehydration problem. I'm drinking a lot of water, so please don't suggest simply increasing hydration. If I drink any more water I might as well just move into the bathroom. Also, I can't drink Gatorade, that stuff is loaded with sugar, so that's not a solution either.
A couple of questions:
Is it true or not that 100% VG is less dehydrating that a PG/VG mix?
Is a cooler vape any less dehydrating than a warmer vape?
I'm going to try several things and see if they help: Usually I vape about once an hour for about 10 minutes, I've cut that back to once every two hours for about 7 minutes. Also, I normally take a draw of about 4-5 seconds, I've shortened that to about 2-3 secs. I still get nice vapor, TH, and flavor, so it's still a good vape. This is also similar to the vape of my X2 as far as vapor production, but I still get that nice flavor with my VV.
Obviously, if I have to, I'll go back to my X2, but once you've experienced the better flavor that is possible with VV it's hard to go back to fixed voltage. But I have to be able to vape, there's no question about that. Because if I don't I'll most certainly start smoking again, which is the last thing I want.
I realize there's probably only so much one can do about dehydration, but any thoughts or advice, any ideas I haven't come up with, would be greatly appreciated. This dehydration is harshing my vape, dude! That just ain't cool!
Thanks.
