    i know when i smoke, if i havent eaten for a while, smoking stirs up my acid reflux, did this happen to anyone else?

    and when they started vaping did it go down?

    I suffered from almost constant acid reflux while smoking.
    I never thought about it untill I read your post. But since a few days after giving up analogs I can't remember having it, even after a meal.

    Makes sense. Smoking is a big contributor to reflux/heartburn. The tar in your mouth gets swallowed and ends up stuck in your lower esophagus. It causes irritation that can feel like heartburn and it holds open the valve at the top of your stomach so acid can leak out. It's a heartburn double whammy.

    I have had a problem with Acid Indigestion for years. Since I started vaping the condition has actually improved quite a bit.

    I have been vaping for a little over 3 weeks now...Only 3 analogs in that time, and 0 analogs for 1.5 weeks!

    I have noticed that I will get some Acid Reflux when I over-do it with the nicotine and also get that queasiness/headache.

    In fact, thinking back, my condition has actually improved drastically since I stopped smoking. I think the only time I have had to take a Tums has been after I vaped too much 24mg RY4 in a row... Cool.

    I'm starting to think that the higher the nicotine content the greater the chances of acid reflux.

    Surely it varies from person to person and how the body assimilates nicotine from vaping...

    I'm starting to see a pattern. Anything about 18mgs and I get symptoms.
