How does vaping affect singing?
One of the ways vaping affects your singing is by irritating your vocal cords, oftentimes chemicals get absorbed through your throat and will irritate it. In addition, while you are vaping you are putting additional strain on your vocal cords, and your body’s first priority will be to clean up your vocal cords from the toxic elements. It isn’t a smart idea if you are a singer to make your body struggle to keep itself healthy, which it will not be able to do in the long run.
Why do I have laryngitis when I vape?
As a singer, your worst nightmare is to develop laryngitis one day. Laryngitis can develop due to the irritation of the throat which is caused by smoking and by vaping also. Luckily most singers who vape once they notice that their throat becomes irritated then they will probably stop vaping if they value their voice. Unfortunately, this is not true for people who do not use their voice for a living. The main problem with vaping is that it directly irritates not only your throat but your vocal cords also which makes you much more likely to develop laryngitis.
Why do I have a lot of mucus in my throat?
As vaping and smoking irritates the throat it also prevents the body from making a protective layer of mucus in your throat and vocal cords. The body will respond to this lack of mucus by producing more mucus, this is why some vapers and smokers have an excess of mucus especially during the morning. This constant battle with your body of producing mucus and still not being able to make a protective cover on your vocal cords no matter how much mucus it produces will eventually lead to chronic bronchitis. If you are a singer the simple fact of hearing that somebody got chronic bronchitis should send shivers along your spine.
Why do people get addicted to vaping?
The number one reason why people got addicted to smoking and vaping is because of the presence of nicotine.

There are some vaping devices that do not contain any nicotine, but you can bet that there is some substance in it that has the same properties as nicotine with its only goal to get you addicted, otherwise, how will they make money.
What happens if you smoke while singing?
One of the side effects of vaping or smoking is dehydration of the mouth, this is why most people drink something while they smoke or vape. If you are serious about singing then the last thing you want is to dry out your throat.

I do not have to tell you how detrimental this can be for a singer.
Does vaping hurt your voice?
No matter how hard you try to find evidence that vaping will not hurt your singing voice the best you will find is that vaping generally speaking is not as harmful as smoking, which honestly speaking isn’t saying too much.

The problem arises later down in life when vaping has caused so much damage to their lungs and their throats that they can no longer able to sing.
Does vaping cause cancer?
Although vaping is far to new to have conclusive evidence that vaping causes cancer but it isn’t that different from smoking which actually does cause not only lung cancer but also several other types of cancers.

There are a lot of cancer-causing chemicals in both cigarettes and vaping devices.

A few days ago, I am having problems with my voice. It's better in the morning, but it's getting worse at night. My voice box feels dry and tight. I use my voice with my job, so I'm not sure if it's just because of work or if it's because of vaping.

Probably not due to vaping, but some juices contains aerosol that will cause mild irritation. New vapers might also take a little time getting used to it. See if it passes in a few days, I'd bet that its far likely to be due to your job.

When I used to be a heavy smoker I used to get the same side effects with certain cigarettes. Not all of them did this only one brand did, as soon as I would change brand my throat would get instantly better. It could be from the juice, try using another juice and see if the throat irritation persists.

It could be either, really. Maybe you should slow down with vaping, switch juices, check the ingredients, etc. and see if there is any improvement in the way that you feel. If you've been vaping for awhile and haven't really switched anything up, it's probably just from your job.

How high is the nicotine level in your e-juice? This could be an issue with the nicotine hitting your throat. I had a few issues when I first started vaping. I also had a few issues with finding the right temperature on my vape. I would suggest playing with your temperature settings as well.

Thank you for your help, guys! I'll try to switch juice and see what happens. My job is most probably a big factor as well. I have to find a better way to take care of my voice.
