high nicotine = upset stomach?

[Vapinginjapan]

It's possible that if you lung inhale instead of mouth inhale less of the nicotine will actually land in your stomach from the deep inhalation. Maybe give it a shot.

Has anyone else had an upset stomach from high nicotine levels? Oog. Need tums.

Just got my PV tonight.

Yeah, in the beginning it made my stomach feel weird, turned out that it was the PG and the fact that I was trying to smoke it like I did a reg cigarette, Someone suggested switching to VG and to draw in the vapor really slow, like one smokes a pipe. That really helped.

Try taking in longer, slower drags and see if that helps. If it's still bothering you in the next couple of days, you might need to switch to VG.

hope this helps you...

I don't think the nicotine contact with the stomach is what is causing the stomach issues, it's the acid production. I'm not sure if it matters where the nicotine is being absorbed. I draw on the e-cig exactly the same way I did cigarettes.

I have the same problem when I use liquid that is too high in nicotine. I am down to 6mg now and when I try to vape some of my original 36mg stuff I get the worst stomach ache ever! Have to take some prilosec to get it under control! Just cut back on your nic and I think you will find that things are good again!

Also, they have found that most of the nicotine in ecigs is absorbed thru the mouth and upper airways, not the lungs, so how deeply you inhale, really should not make a difference. Maybe not holding it in your mouth so long would help a bit? Easiest way to fix this though is to just cut your level down.

I wish it were that simple. I have been experimenting with nic levels. If I reduce the strength too low I start having withdrawal symptoms. If I get it too high the GERD comes back. I am already taking the maximum dosage of Zegerid. I need to locate a doctor that can understand my issues and offer a solution. It's much too complicated to explain as there several other factors involved. My choices are really:

1. Continue to try and find a solution or
2. Return to cigarettes.

I don't want to give up so I'm going with #1 for now.

Somebody on another thread was saying that their husband got a bad stomach from VG...just goes to show how everybody reacts differently.

Anyways, I hope that the OP can find a solution and keep on vaping.

Several months ago, when the 48-mg flavored juices were more available, I tried to catch a buzz. I filled three 801s with the juice and hot-boxed them as quickly as possible.

It took about thirty minutes, but, alas, I never got that buzz. Instead, I went directly to nausea- vivid, upsetting, have-to-puke nausea.

Since then I've looked askance at claims of a buzz from e-cigs. Maybe it works for some folks, but not for me.

Yup. Too much nicotine over too-short a time will definitely cause nausea.

Thanks for all of your input guys. I have tried a medium nic level cart. Don't know what level it's at. Maybe 18? So far so good. Although sometimes I do get acidy pains. Like I said I have acid reflux.

I've had indigestion every since I started vaping. I just keep the Maalox handly and keep on vaping.
