Heartburn

[beezer]

I take an acid reducer every morning but still end up with heartburn during the day so I occasionally take an antacid. I don't know what the causes are but wondered if it was from vaping. I was just curious if anyone else has the same problem with a burny esophogus.
Any help is appreciated.

Just wanted to throw my in here. I used to get horrible acid reflux and heartburn. My problems went almost completely away after I cut out carbonated drinks. (Coke). If you drink a lot of carbonated drinks, I would suspect that before I would suspect vaping.

I was getting it good too, but I tired of taking pills all day. I switched to Omeprasole(Prevecid?), and that worked. My doctor can write it as a script, so he does and it costs me next to nothing that way.

nicotine is a known irritant to the stomach.
the way it enters your stomach is via your mouth and saliva.
because vapers need to take a long puff before inhaling, than analog users do, it allows more nicotine to be absorbed in your saliva, thus causing a higher dose delivery of the drug to your stomach, and thus having a greater sensitivity to hurt burns and later on stomach ulcers.

nicotine interferes your stomach protective mucus from forming, thus causes the mentioned problem.

you have 3 choices:

1-lower your nicotine in the juice.
2-shorten your puffs, via using an LR atty or triple coil cartomizer, or going to VG-all that will produce much more smoke in a shorter puff.
3-continue your omeprazole treatment, till your able to lower your nicotine consumption.

in either way, washing your mouth with water post vaping might help a bit.
