Vaping can have side effects, especially when used in excess or by people with pre-existing health conditions. Here are some of the common side effects of vaping and ways to alleviate them:
- Dry mouth: Vaping can cause dryness in the mouth and throat due to the ingredients in e-liquids. To alleviate dry mouth, you can drink plenty of water, use a mouthwash or chew gum.
- Dizziness: Some people may experience dizziness or lightheadedness when vaping, especially if they are new to vaping or use devices that produce high wattages. To avoid dizziness, try reducing the nicotine concentration in your e-liquid, and take breaks between vaping sessions.
- Headaches: Vaping can cause headaches due to dehydration, nicotine withdrawal, or exposure to certain chemicals in e-liquids. To alleviate headaches, drink plenty of water, and consider reducing your vaping frequency or using e-liquids with lower nicotine concentrations.
- Allergic reactions: Some people may develop an allergic reaction to certain ingredients in e-liquids, such as propylene glycol or vegetable glycerin. Symptoms may include skin irritation, hives, or difficulty breathing. If you experience any allergic reaction, stop using the e-liquid and seek medical attention.
- Coughing: Vaping can cause coughing or throat irritation, especially when using devices that produce high wattages or inhaling e-liquids with high concentrations of nicotine. To alleviate coughing, reduce the nicotine concentration in your e-liquid or switch to e-liquids with higher vegetable glycerin concentrations, which are less harsh on the throat.
It’s important to note that if you experience any persistent or severe side effects from vaping, it’s best to consult a healthcare provider for advice. Additionally, following proper safety guidelines and using high-quality vaping devices and e-liquids can help reduce the risk of side effects.

First of all, you may experience mouth parched and tongue scorched. It is a common side effects of vaping because the PG in an e-liquid actually absorbs moisture. PG is one of the most important ingredients in e-juice as it can stand for propylene glycol. One of the easiest way to overcome this is to simply drink water, it helps get the moisture back into your body. Besides, you can get juices with a lower PG ratio. For example, an 80VG 20PG juice. However, with less PG juices, the juice becomes much thicker. So, just make sure that the tank can absorb thicker liquids.
Secondly, we may have a sore throat and coughing. This can also be put down to the PG levels of your e-juice. Actually many people are allergic to propylene glycol. If you are one of them, you can overcome this by getting higher VG juices. Also, nicotine causes a sore throat and coughing. Nicotine and PG irritate throat when you are vaping. If you intake too much nicotine, you’ll get a throat hit. So don’t intake too much at a time. Too much nicotine can also cause nausea, headaches, or dizziness. It is nicotine poisoning. having some water and it will goes away on its own later.
Besides, vapers tongue is also a common side effect. When you vape the same flavour for a long period and you tongue will be dull to it. It can be avoided by changing flavours in a while to refresh your taste.
