Hi there, very new here!

[JackBiJou]

Okay so I'm a week in to my vaping journey and I've noticed a possible stomach aching issue with vaping. I've been using 6mg Peppermint juice in a 900 eGo pen. I'm not sure if this is what is causing my issue, but insight would be appreciated.
Also, how can you tell the difference when buying juices, between PG and VG?

Welcome mate! A few notes:

1. If you're female, and unless your parents were especially cruel you probably are, you may want to change your name. This should get you sorted:

2. Many stores will label or allow you to choose what blend of PG/VG you are using, referenced as 50/50 (50% of each) or 80/20, etc. PG is usually listed first, but not always. Some don't as they consider it a trade secret, but it's mostly marketing mystique.

3. Before we go into PG/VG for your stomach ache which is very rare, it's probably best to make sure your technique is OK so you aren't gulping air and such. Robino1 explains this the best, but I'm not allowed to ask her to do it anymore, especially not slower and in greater detail.

This link will give you some tips, as you generally don't inhale as you would with a regular cig:

Hello Kayla and welcome. I also had some stomach aches when I first started vaping. It goes away after a while.

Welcome to ECF! If you're having stomach aches put down your ecig for a little while.

A good rule to know is that VG is thicker.

So mouth inhaling is how to do it? Wouldn't that be swallowing air, though?

Hello Kayla

I found inhaling the (correct)* way quite tricky at first. I don't know if there is any relation to your other concerns.

*once you get fully used to Vaping, you can change back.

So what I've been doing is pulling smoke into my mouth(4secs) , inhaling/swallowing, then exhale through mouth or nose.
