Five side-effects of vaping and how to avoid them
Vaping is less risky for
your health than smoking — and it comes with substantially fewer side-effects.
However, when switching to the new habit, you may experience certain unpleasant
symptoms that may have to do with the way you vape, what you vape or how much
you vape. Here are the five most frequent complaints new vapors have — and the
suggestions on how to remedy them.
Dry mouth
Dry mouth is one of the most
often cited side-effects of vaping. It is associated with the base
components of e-liquid: PG and VG (propylene glycol and vegetable glycerin).
High PG concentrations are frequently reported to have a drying effect on the
mouth, but those who prefer VG based e-liquids also experience it. Why does
this happen? BothPG and VG are humectants —and this means they are actually
used to keep things moist. But both of these substances are actually hygroscopic and they
absorb water as well.
If you’re experiencing a dry
mouth sensation when vaping, try using an oral rinse that's meant for
hydration. This would be the easiest way to remedy the dry mouth feeling.
However, if this does not help and you continue experiencing dry mouth
persistently, this may be the symptom of the chronic dry mouth condition and
it's best and strongly advised to consult a dental professional for help.
Sore throat
Another common side-effect
of vaping is a sore or irritated throat. This may be caused by a number of
ingredients in your e-liquid: nicotine, propylene glycol or even flavorings.
There have been reports that connected a sore throat with high vaping e-liquids
high in nicotine content (like mic salt pods, for instance). If you suspect
that your sore throat may be resulting from the e-liquid you are using, try
making a few modifications. Try a vape juice with a lower level of VG or go
down in nicotine level. You may also want to consider switching to a different
e-liquid brand or experimenting with flavorings.
If the e-liquid is not the
problem, then it may be the type of wire used in your vape coil. Check the
specifications on your vaping gadget for a nickel. If your vape wire contains
nickel or nichrome, consider replacing your device or asking the manufacturer
for a different coil option like stainless steel.
Coughing
New vapers are typically the
ones experiencing coughing fits. In most cases, coughing is a result of the
wrong inhaler technique or using the wrong vape juice for the type of your
vaping gear or inhale mode. Examples of these would be using e-liquid with high
nicotine content and trying the direct lung inhale or trying to take a
cigarette-like draw on a vaping gadget with large airflow.
If you start coughing when
taking a draw, check the airflow on your device. If it is tight, then it is
meant for a mouth-to-lung to inhale. If it's large, then the device is meant for
direct lung vaping. If you are vaping using the direct lung inhale, it is best
to keep your nicotine level under 6mg/ml.
Feeling dizzy
New vapers may also
experience dizziness when starting to vape. Typically, this feeling should go
away as you vape more. The lightheadedness you feel comes not from the vaping
itself but rather from the nicotine in your e-liquid. Thus if the feeling does
not subside with time, it is recommended that you switch to a vape juice with
lower nicotine concentration.
