I believe that is one of the symptoms I've seen posted in various places on the forum, yes.
You can try cutting down your levels to find out for sure.
I tried to find the link to one of the threads about nic overdose, but I can't find it. Maybe someone else will come along with better info.

Well if you think about it, nicotine is a sympathetic system stimulant - the sympathetic system is the autonomic nervous system responsible for the flight or fight response. When this system is activated, it inhibits digestion to conserve energy stores for muscles. So basically when you get high levels of nicotine, your digestive system isn't working as best as it should be causing gastrointestinal discomfort.

Hmmmm that sounds jummy. Um it makes sense. I am also just started Vaping and i am still having a hard time getting the amount of vaping to the level of nic just right. I am now rotating beween to custom filled carts one High 24mg and the other 18mg. The 24mg gives a big hit and i only need to take 2 or 3 drags and im back in action for 30mins or so. I havent OverD'ed because i really dont want to. But I know a high intake of nic does react to your stomach.

I usually vape on 36mg camel flavor from TW with no adverse effects at all. When I switch to TW's 36mg mintchoc flavor I get an upset stomach. Strange.

I have GERD and a hiatal hernia. Caffeine and nicotine are recognized as being among the major stomach upsetter for people with these conditions. I was quite bothered by analogs, but e-cigs do not bother me as much, even at 24mg. Of course, if I chain-vape for 15 minutes straight, I will feel my stomach complaining.

Could be you're having a reaction to PG. I had the same issues for the first couple of weeks but it went away. My nic level, 24mg, has stayed the same during this time.

Strange, when I started I was vaping 24mg Lemon form TW, then when that ran out i ordered minty chocolate 24mg and it also upsets my stomach a little.

But as for the OP. From my experience, yes, nicotine can give you an upset stomach. More so if you haven't consumed any food recently, an excess amount can make you feel nauseous.

Ditto!

I have a real problem getting enough nicotine to keep the widthdrawal symptons away. If I vape too much I end up and having a GERD incident. This has been a very big problem for me. I wish there was a solution out there somewhere.
