Why does custom CSS styling not apply due to vertical slider?

Question

#slider1 {
  -webkit-appearance: slider-vertical; /* This makes ... */
  background-color: black;
  width: 1px;
  height: 100px;
}

#slider2 {
  -webkit-appearance: none; /* the difference. */
  background-color: black;
  width: 100px;
  height: 1px;
}

#slider1::-webkit-slider-thumb,
#slider2::-webkit-slider-thumb {
  -webkit-appearance: none;
  appearance: none;
  width: 25px;
  height: 25px;
  background: #04aa6d;
  cursor: pointer;
}

#slider1::-webkit-slider-thumb:hover,
#slider2::-webkit-slider-thumb:hover {
  width: 20px;
  height: 20px;
}

<input type="range" id="slider1" />
<input type="range" id="slider2" />

As seen here, the CSS styling was almost same for both sliders, except for the -webkit-appearance property. But the horizontal slider (which is the default slider) accepts the styling while the vertical slider rejects it. I am on Chrome. How to make it work? Thanks!

It seems like there is no work around available to design vertical range, what you can do is to rotate the default one.

.wrap {
  display: flex;
}

.slid1 {
  display: flex;
  justify-content: center;
  align-items: center;
  height: 100px;
  width: 30px;
}

#slider1,
#slider2 {
  -webkit-appearance: none;
  /* the difference. */
  background-color: black;
  width: 100px;
  height: 1px;
}

#slider1 {
  -webkit-appearance: none;
  /* This makes ... */
  transform: rotate(270deg);
  transform-origin: center;
}

#slider1::-webkit-slider-thumb,
#slider2::-webkit-slider-thumb {
  -webkit-appearance: none;
  appearance: none;
  width: 25px;
  height: 25px;
  background: #04aa6d;
  cursor: pointer;
}

#slider1::-webkit-slider-thumb:hover,
#slider2::-webkit-slider-thumb:hover {
  width: 20px;
  height: 20px;
}

<div class="wrap">
  <div class="slid1">
    <input type="range" id="slider1" />
  </div>
  <div class="slid2">
    <input type="range" id="slider2" />
  </div>
</div>

Edit: As per your comment, I have wrapped sliders into flex containers to align them.
