Do vapes cause kidney stones?

I smoked for forty years before quitting. While I don't know much about these modern vapes, I can tell you that any kind of nicotine or chemical inhalation dehydrates your body badly, and dehydration is the main father of kidney stones.

Oh god, now I am really scared. I've been vaping for a few months and recently started getting a dull ache in my lower back near the kidneys. Has anyone else experienced this pain after starting to vape?

I am awake at 3 AM looking at my vape and reading this. Honestly, the dehydration from vaping is real, my throat feels like a desert every morning. Better to drink water than end up passing a stone, that pain sounds like a nightmare.

My uncle always says drinking barley water cures everything, but when my cousin got kidney issues, the doctor clearly warned him against vaping. The chemicals strain your kidneys, so it is best to avoid these devices entirely for peace of mind.

Let's be very clear, vaping is not a healthy alternative to anything. It dries out your system fast, and when your body lacks water, calcium oxalate builds up in your kidneys. Just throw the vape away and save your health.
