Have you only just started subohming? Or more than a few weeks? I went from 1.8 ohm coils on an ego straight to 0.5ohm unregulated and also had some pain on one side for a while. Gone now though. I guessed for me it was a period of adaptation in combination with damage from 30 years of tobacco.
I get the impression as I am sucking on this vape device all the time that I may be getting some air trapped in my stomach sort of like a burp type thing and that can
cause a pain......
Just my thoughts...............

On my 3rd week of vaping, felt fine initially till I changed my ejuice few days ago and got a massive high. Kinda felt like I was drunk and thereafter having a headache similar to that of a hangover. I get this feeling every few puffs ever since.
I'm a light smoker and nicotine level for all my juices are 6mg. In fact, even smoking gives me the same high now. My body is probably fcuked.

My ratio is like 50/50 or 60/40.... I typically vape True North or other vetted pure juices.
Maybe it's just heartburn? I know this can't be good for me... Trying to quit but its so hard...
Yeah the heartburn thing !.
Comes from vaping at too high a wattage. Just turn the power down, then crank it back up one watt at time to find the highest setting you can use without it causing any discomfort.
It won't prevent gas or wind or whatever but you will notice the heartburn will just disappear.
I used to vape at 45 watts on two 24g 6 wrap coils ohm'ing in at 0.25. The vape was warm not hot but still caused the acid reflux to be painful. So i turned the power down to 35 watts, then eventually settled on 37. No heartburn at all now but still get acid reflux. The acid reflux is caused by something else entirely.

Interesting on the heart burn! I've never had it until just recently. Wonder if its from running my Snow Wolf/Uwell Crown at 80-90 watts. This is the first I've heard of the heart burn from vaping. What's the theory on that?
I just read about this in the health part of the forum, but can't find it again (was a really long post). So I'll paraphrase from memory:
Nicotine relaxes the muscle between your stomach and asophagus (spelling?! i mean food tube!)
So stomach acid goes into your throat effectively.
When you smoke cigarettes it's usually 1 per hour, so the muscle has a chance to recover. But when vaping, especially subohming, you tend to do it for longer periods. Even if you're on 6mg, it can mean overall more nicotine than when smoking.
Reducing my Nic to 9 mg from 12 fixed stomach acid problems and a slight inflammation for me (though I also took some acid reducing meds for a short time), so thinning your liquid with some 0 nic liquid might suffice. Nicotine itself is [strike]acidic[/strike] (nope, sorry, it's a weak base) btw and it is acting on the nervous system of your stomach. Reducing takes its time, though, you might probably compensate by more vaping, until you've adusted to a lower dosage.

Cigarette smoke may be acidic, but nicotine itself is an alkaloid. The distilled nicotine we use in e-liquid is around pH 8.

section 6. Heartburn, acid reflux
I had similar problems when i started vaping but then i switched to more VG than PG juices and is stopped after 1-2 days. Even though PG is not as bad as tobacco and all the S**t in it it's still not the best thing in the world 
try max VG juices
P.S. you will need an RDA for max VG the tanks can't handle them as good as RDA
