I got the mod, rba and accessories in the mail Friday.
I stayed up to late Friday night, and spent most of Saturday morning trying to get the wick/coil working right.
I finally got the setup working adequately and vaped all day today, and the result is my stomach friggen hurts!

I'm only vaping VG cut with about %15 vodka.
I have been drinking lots of water and I'm only inhaling about half the time.
I quit smoking 3.5 weeks ago. I was feeling just fine and have gone through all the side effects of quitting already.

Not what I expected at all :(

If you're 3 weeks without a cig your body probably wasn't ready for all the nicotine you took in. What strength nic is your juice?

I have over done it several times, and almost always do when I get a new round of juices to try out, lol. Just back off it a little while but if the pain persists I would definitely check in with a doctor. I have heard about people having ulcers flare up after changes in daily nicotine intake.

Ulcers, that kind of scares me. Looks for an analog, ack....I have not had any for a long time.

No stress and no flu.
It might be the vodka though.

Im not sure what cigalikes are but I quit cold turkey and smoked nothing for 3.5 weeks.
I bought a PV to make sure if I get any craving to smoke socially I can vape instead.

No nicotine in the juice.
I bought %100 VG, put some in the tank and added a small amount of vodka to thin it out.

Vaping has not been a good experience so far.
The worst part is I have to get to bed for work tomorrow but cant since my stomach hurts so bad right now.

You didn't say what you gear you were using before using your new mod and RBA but it is not out of the question that you are getting considerably more nicotine from your RBA/mod setup than what you were using previously. It's possible that you are getting nic-sick.

Too much nicotine is a surefire recipe for me to get a nasty upset stomach. Drink a lot of water and lay down for a half an hour or so without vaping. If your stomach feels better cut down on the nicotine level of your juice or vape less frequently.

make sure you are eating. had a few stomach aches when i started. cut back on the vaping as well. lower your dosage. after three weeks you should be over or close to over the worst of it. i did experience bad GI discomfort 1 month in. it lasted a few days. it could be the last of the nasty stuff from the tobacco leaving your body. if it persists see your doctor.

I hope you feel better, but it probably is the vodka...
