Did any of you get ........ using VG based eliquids?

[nikomoul]

TMI alert!

I have found that vaping vg is making me run to the bathroom. I did realize that "glycerin suppositories" are used for constipation, but thought inhaling glycerin wouldn't produce the same effect. Boy was I wrong!

I got this from webmd:
GLYCEROL

.hideFromJS {display:none;} Other Names:

1,2,3-propanetriol, Glicerol, Glucerite, Glycerin, Glycerine, Glycerolum, Glyceryl Alcohol, Vegetable Glycerin.

GLYCEROL Uses & Effectiveness

Likely Effective for:

• Constipation, when used rectally as a suppository.

Possibly Ineffective for:

• Helping with weight loss, when taken by mouth.

Likely Ineffective for:

• Improving exercise performance when taken by mouth.
• Treating stroke when used intravenously.

Insufficient Evidence for:

• Helping maintain the body's water levels (hydration) in athletes and people with intestinal problems, and other conditions.

GLYCEROL Side Effects & Safety

Glycerol is safe for most adults. It may not be safe when preparations of glycerol are used which have not been reviewed for safety and efficacy by the FDA. When taken by mouth, glycerol can cause side effects including headaches, dizziness, bloating, nausea, vomiting, thirst, and .........

Glycerol may not be safe when injected intravenously (I.V. use). Red blood cells might get seriously damaged.

Do not use glycerol if:

• You are pregnant or breast-feeding.

GLYCEROL Dosing

The following doses have been studied in scientific research:
RECTAL:

• As an adult laxative for constipation: the common dose of glycerol is 2-3 grams in suppository form or a 5-15 mL enema. For children younger than six years old, the dose is 1-1.7 grams as a suppository or a 2-5 mL enema.

Am i the only idiot who can't use VG to vape? Say it aint so! Say i'm not the only one with this bad luck!

Are you swallowing alot somehow?

 

[nikomoul]

LOL. No. Just inhaling into my lungs.

 

[SLDS181]

Are you shoving the cart up your ...?

Seriously. Look at what you quoted from web md:

when used rectally as a suppository.

EDIT: Btw, you need ALOT for it to be effective at causing ........ by swallowing it.

 

[Satyr]

Edit: nevermind

No, you're not alone with this. Digestive oddities with VG are something we know about. If you search through older posts you'll find quite a bit on it. I think Cash is one who talks about some nasty problems with it.

Sheesh, check some of my older ones too. I have issues with VG. and felt like I was alone for a while. That stuff wreaks havok on my bowels and I stopped using it. I seem to be a minority, but I have tried VG twice about a week apart and have the same symptoms. No more VG for me....

 

[SLDS181]

It is atypical - do you have heart burn, ibs, or a history that would lend itself to irritation? Have you tried PG liquids?

You guys are a minority, but I gather that for those of you you have these problems with VG, it's bad and nothing's gonna make it tolerable.

I like the effect VG has on the vapor and use some in my recipes, but it sure isn't enough of an improvement that I would keep trying if it had that effect on me. PG works just fine. To anyone who can't tolerate VG but is okay with PG, I'd say to just be glad there's a good option. As long as I have something that keeps me away from cigarettes I'm content.

How odd... I have been experiencing the reverse... I have been very constipated every since I quit smoking and started vaping (no matter how much fiber I consume!)... and came across this thread in hopes of finding someone with the same experience. I just assumed it was from quitting smoking rather than the vape ingredients since it always seemed smoking "helps things git movin' down ther"...

On a side note, using Glycerin to facilitate a bowl movement is, in fact, VERY effective.

 

[egodzilla]

I seem to have the same problem with VG. It's not really ........ but i get some king of bowel movement very soon after I smoke it ...

And we all do swallow it via the film that guilds up in out throat ...

 

[jamentertainment]

never pg or vg...vodka get me every time!!

 

[Fistandantilus]

I just figured out that if I vape 100% VG juice it does wreak havoc on my bowels. Now If it is 60PG 40VG or 70PG 30VG I am fine. It's just when it is 100% pure. It sucks.

 

[throatkick]

In the very beginning I was experiencing a shortness of breath. I read about a few other having this problem and how maybe switching to VG could help. I went 100% VG for 2-3 weeks and never had a problem with "elimination".

As it turned out, I was drawing way too hard trying to get throathit and that's what was causing my problems. Once I figured out how to vape properly, it all settled in and I went back to 70/30 or 80/20 PG.
