I seem to be different to other people ....I did once give up smoking for a year.....and after a few months I started suffering really badly from heartburn...something I had never suffered from in my life before........and it only went away when I started smoking again..........I am hoping it was the nicotine and that vaping doesn't bring it back.

I had a little with the higher nicotine juices. Can't use nicorette or the nicotine lozenges because with those it's much worse. After one day on those my stomach aches constantly.

I've been vaping puresmokers 36 mg, assorted flavors. I get terrible heartburn every day and I eat pepcid like candy. I'm anxious to finish up my 36 mg stuff and drop down to something a bit tamer.

Praga, you can 'cut' the 36mg juice with glycerine (available from pharmacies and supermarkets' baking sections). Have a look at the DIY liquid forum.

Well, I only seem to get heartburn symptoms (which are very short lived) if I take in too much nicotine in a single sitting or get a bit of liquid in my mouth.

As for the menthol not causing these symptoms, my guess is that it's likely due to the mint flavor naturally settling the stomach. My understanding is that it doesn't even need to be natural or leaf mint at all, only the flavor (i.e. restaurants giving away mint candies or chocolates after meals 'cause they don't want their customers to have a negative experience upon leaving.)

Whether that's true or not I can't say, it's only what I've heard and thought it made sense.

I first tried the JC brand and didn't have an issue, but I used the non PG. I ordered the PS liquid and now I think that I may have an ulcer. I too have been popping pepcid like crazy and I think that I will go back to JC although I don't like their flavors as much.

Question: How did changing over to vaping vs analogs make your heartburn react?

When I was smoking, I'd be up 5-6 times a night trying not to puke up acid! I tried alot of different things, the commercial acid reducers did nothing for me. Now, with vape instead of smoke, my heartburn has decreased markedly. I still have a whole song and dance to prevent the burn at night, and occasional flare up's during the day, but on the whole, less heartburn...

What I do is:
No food or drink at least 2 hours before bedtime.
Right before bed, eat a small bowl of popcorn, with a little water (note, LITTLE water, just enough to cut the salt on the popcorn. DON'T fill your stomach.) Doing this, I can sleep throughout the night with no acid back-ups.

If I have a flare up during the day: I try hard candy (minty works well, it's a natural stomach-settler) or a small amt of white soda (the carbonation brings up a burp, which gets rid of the trapped gas pushing the acid up.)

I don't know. I had heartburn problems before this and sometimes it might be a little worse now.
Prescription nexium kicks ass on any OTC product.
The advice on not eating late is also good.
For immediate relief only alka seltzer does the trick for me.

A small sip of apple cider vinegar goes a long way with me and heartburn. I didn't believe it till I tried it, it works though.
