Acid feeling from vaping to heavily?

[StuckinLA]

I've only been vaping a couple of months so I'm still a n00b but I'm noticing that I sometimes am getting like a stomach acid feeling at the back of my throat sometimes when I'm vaping. I use a 60vg/40pg mix and using FSUSA juice. Has anyone seen or heard of this before ?

I personally have not noticed a acidic feeling before, but I also take medicine for acid reflux. I know it's this way for ingesting certain foods/candy, for example certain items from the "mint" family. Peppermint/Spearmint/etc upon normal ingestion can slow down the process of digestion and makes the stomach produce more acid to compensate. (At least it's what my doctor explained to me) I do not know if it the same for inhalation of these flavorings, though.

I was experiencing the same thing for a while using a 100% vg e-liquid, sort of like acid reflux & heartburn then the stomach issues. I believe it is the sugar content already present in the vg before adding any flavors or sweetners.

I have switched it up by experimenting with different ratios and now use a 80pg/20vg ratio. There is enough sugar to help any flavoring along and I'm not experiencing this much now. I'm sure others will have other opinions, but this is what helped for me! HTH

Yes, I have had this too. I cut my vaping way back and started diluting flavors and nic with VG and symptoms got much better for me. Please be careful as what you are experiencing was what I got as my first symptom and it progressed to a more concerning feeling of chest tightness.

If you do a search on indigestion you will see many threads on this topic.

I have the same problem with reflux lowering nic level to 18mg helped alot. Dr said nic can cause GERD.
