I'm wondering if anyone else has developed digestive problems using the PG juice? Mine are becoming severe. I wonder if using VG will help? Thanks.

ive heard that VG causes that not PG. hmmm. sorry to hear youre having problems.
Try switching to VG - if it works, you may have an allergy to PG. If it doesn't, then its probably not PG causing your stomach issues.
Karen, since you are not able to receive a PM I'll address this here.
Yes, there are sources for VG liquids -I believe one is Eco-pure (not sure of the vendor's info).
I would buy a small sample to see if it agrees with you.
I've tried making my own juice (cutting PG based with flavors and liquids) and discovered my body does not tolerate VG.
FYI - one use of VG that was brought up on another thread was 'suppositories' - effective in alleviating constipation.
Seems my body doesn't know the difference between inhaling the stuff or placing it elsewhere.
Good luck.

Here's what I've found out about the juice and your situation.. If you fill carts, and have a cart type like the RN4081, the juice likes to come out the backside and while inhaling, you may get some indirect flow of juice into your system. As nicotine is a poison, it can screw up your esophageal system and give you MAJOR indigestion/heart burn. That happened to me for the first day i vaped, as i didnt know if it was safe or not. Now i know not to eat it anymore XD and id suggest if you ever get any of the juice in your mouth, SPIT IT OUT ASAP! for your own safety of course
Hope i could help some

How long have you been vaping? How long have these stomach problems been occurring?
Do you take any other medications?
Is it stomach cramps you get? that come and go?
Or is it a dull ache that is persistently there for a few hours at a time?
I would go see your doctor. Maybe you have a stomach ulcer and the nicotine is aggravating it.
Nicotine is a notorious laxative too...

Hmm, I have a very delicate stomach and have stomach problems all of the time without any medical cause that they can find. I've had tests and everything, but they say that everything looks normal. Yet my PV and the liquids that I have used haven't ever bothered my stomach at all.
Can you give us more information please?

I have severe acid relux. So bad that when laying down, the acid would rise into the esophagus, lungs, and sinus. Slept sitting up for years. Surgery helped but only lasts about 5 years and it has been 6 so it has returned with almost full intensity. Medication includes stomach acid pump inhibitors. What I want to say is, if anything, my acid reflux is greatly reduced. Less acid and less belching. Hope you find the problem and get it taken care of.
Head on over the Health & Safety part of the forum. Also try a search on PG or VG allergy

Hope you feel better
I'm having problems with both PG & VG. I do think I'm swallowing juice, but don't catch myself, or it's such a small amount I'm not noticing it. If I get some in my mouth, I spit it out right away, so whatever I'm swallowing it's not noticible, but my acid levels are way up since I started vaping.
Can we get a more detailed description as to what is really happening? Acid Reflux, Chest pains, Upset Stomach, ........, Alien babies birthing from your eye sockets?
I think I explained it fairly well. My stomach acid levels are up...i.e. acid indigestion. I've had reflux for a lot of years, so I'm very familiar with what it feels like when my stomach acid levels are up. I've taken prilosec for quite some time and it's been well controlled. Since I started vaping (not immediately mind you, but after a few weeks) I noticed that some of my symptoms, specifically abdominal discomfort that's associated with my reflux, has worsened. Nothing else to attribute it to, but my vaping habits. Now, don't misunderstand me...I'm not knocking vaping. It's 1000 times better than the alternative. Just something I've noticed and will have to adjust to. I have spoken with my doctor about it and he believes as well that it's likely that I am probably swallowing some of the juice and he's wholeheartedly in favor of my use of e-cigs. It may have something to do with the fact that I'm drinking much more since I started vaping and I'm probably washing down some of what's in my mouth. It is what it is, and I'll learn to adjust.
I get relly bad heartburn when I vape straight juice. Ive tried 36, 24 and 18 all diffent flavors with the same result. I started cutting all my juice with 2/3 VG and 1/3 PG mix and I don't have a problem anymore. Hope this helps.
BTW, I get mine from Essential Wholesale.

Dawghouse, you have what is called an underlying condition, so your experience is not applicable to most people. Do keep in mind that people like myself spend most of every day with a pouch of pure tobacco snus between our cheek and gum. We swallow all the time, surely massive amounts of nicotine that our gastrointestinal systems handle without so much as a hiccup.
Your condition is the problem, not e-smoking, which delivers very little nicotine to your stomach/intestines. No one is suggesting drinking e-liquid (which is not "juice") but swallowing a small amount should never bother a person without your problem. This problem did not show up on tests in New Zealand and Malaysia.
You might not get relief until you discontinue ingesting nicotine.
