Hiccups?

Yeah, hiccups are a sign to put the damn thing down.

A hiccup is caused by your diaphragm having a spasm (the thing that controls your breathing). A significant amount of any stimulant will cause it, but nicotine that winds up getting swallowed is sure to cause hiccups.

If you have any e-liquid backfire into your mouth, make a point to spit it out as quickly as possible. Also, if you didn't have e-liquid go into your mouth then chances are you're overdoing it or using too strong a liquid.

I had a really bad stomach reaction to e-smoking a few days ago, it felt like I wanted to hiccup... sort of, must have swallowed some liquid and it irritated my stomach, I could feel food and hot drinks going all the way down my esophagus to my stomach, when I laid on my back It actually hurt to swallow saliva and I couldn't stop belching all the time.
I stopped smoking completely for 2 days and now I'm back on having an occasional cigar and about 1 or 2 fags a day. I am a bit reluctant to go back on to e-smoking even though I do want to. I think I might get a bottle of marlboro liquid again, which I never had any trouble from, it was with the french pipe I experienced this.

Should I give it another chance? The fact that it has got better now makes me think this reaction is nothing life threatening and it may be worth one more try....

Definitive answers are hard to come by, since e-smoking is so new. We're all learning from each other. Your reaction, while upsetting, was not life-threatening, so I'd try again, being careful not to gulp vapor to your stomach instead of your lungs. But hiccups are common for many nicotine users (very common for snus users).

Heck, we're ingesting a deadly poison! The tobacco plant uses it to defend against insects! And we slurp it up! No wonder we get a reaction -- and worse in the long term.
