Both VG and PG give me the 'runs' *sigh*

[Dylan McKay]

Any suggestions? Tried multiple liquids, both PG and VG.

Perhaps it's just the nicotine in general? From analogues I seemed to have IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) from time to time.

Does this somehow go away?

thanks in advance

When was the last time you smoked an old fashioned cigarette? Cigarettes play hell with your digestive tract, and so does quitting. It may pass. Pun intended.

Nicotine can cause this problem. Try dropping the strength of your e-liquid. Also if you haven't been vaping for long it can be an adjustment issue. Keep hydrated and don't give up just yet!

thanks guys, I believe its the nicotine strength!
I hope that is the case anyway
Ill report back

I had the same problem Dylan, and I smoked for over 40 years without that effect, but I have found that a product which is as refined as possible, and mixing myself has eliminated most of the problem, so for me it could have been additives or preservatives causing the problem.

For a few weeks now I have been using Platinum Ice from Totally Wicked, and mixing with Decadent Vapers flavourings.

So far only the odd gurgle...lol.

Nicotine can also cause this problem, so lets hope you have it sorted, if not, then you can try my advice of mixing your own.

coming from a medical background, GI issues are more associated with nicotine, are you having gastric pain in your lower abdomen preceding the runs?
Maybe vape less, eat more, or try a lower nic, or if you where a heavy smoker it could even be from getting less nicotine than your used to, this would not cause pain however.
Nicotine is a great treatment for IBS, you might have been self medicating all this time. If it keeps up talk to your doctor, and if its red or black, GO TO THE ER!! Green, brown and yellow, you'll be fine

Just switched from PG to VG after using PG fine for months, PG suddenly turned on me as it were.

Day one of VG ain't looking that good with much gurgling, touch wood no squits so with luck it'll pass as I get used to it.

What baffles me is the tiny amounts we're talking about giving such drastic effects, vape around 3mL's total into your lungs over a day and within an hour of starting it's passed into your digestive system and playing havoc
