I was at zero nic for six months (have been vaping for two years no ciggies) went down to 3 for about a year before that,well I ran into a hot mess of stress , and needed some nic, so I picked up some 6 as opposed to somthing stronger,didnt want to od on it.since I have been vaping it I cant eat anything,not even bread without getting mad heartburn,this also gets worse when I vape it without eating.I have tried pepto to no avail, I have a shipment of 3mg coming in a couple of days,just to get me through until I can deal with what is going on, will that help? I have to have something to get me through and I havent had to take antacids for a long lon time is it the nic?I am really watching what I eat to avoid it....am I going to have to go back on antacids or what does anyone know about this? I would appreciate any feedback.btw I do not do caffeine at all if that helps

I have bee. Diagnosed w gerd but when I quit smokingit diminished I am on a very controlled diet anyway,and like I said havent had heartburn in years - maybe it is just my body changing...yet again I am being very careful about what I eat,and not drinking anything but water.I will go to my doca nd see whats up, I know reflux does a ton of damage In the meantime will pick up some otc antacids and see how it goes?thanks:yawn: will try the zero nic.....but I mighf pull some hair out in the process with these crazy cravings I am having lol

You might try asking at a local vape shop.

I know there are online sites that sell low mg unflavored but I can't remember who they are (I mix mine down from 100mg/ml). Maybe someone will chime in here.

Yes, I had that problem. It was excruciating pain. Was slow to catch on but turned out to be the sweetener in a juice I was making. Turns out other people have problems with some sweeteners. Can’t say that is your problem but it is something to check out. Did you change the flavor or just the strength?

Folks on ECF are not doctors, nor do any of us pretend to be (if they are credible). Seeing a doctor is sound advice but also looking at what it is you are vaping, if there is a change in flavors/vendors, is also a good bet. I found a slow but steady improvement when I switched from the one that made me sick to one I knew I had previously tolerated.

I also do not drink or use anything with caffeine in it either. Good luck to you, hope you find an easy fix.

Am going to the doc tuesday in the meantime am picking up some nexium otc on her advice luckily I caught her after hours.she is familiar w my vaping habits and said go down to 3 until I feel comfortable going back to zero.she also said to keep watching what I eat and not to vape anything fruity or cinammon. And to stay awzy from my fave adult chocolate milk.and to pick up some otc nexium.she said she would see me tues and if the nexium doesn't work she will write me a script for something stronger, and not to chain vape the 6,no matter how sressed I get lol.I have been vaping mellow stuff anyway so that is good . Thanks for all the feedback it is greatly appreciated

I'm no Dr and I am not going to Try and explain what you are experiencing as it May or May Not relate to Vaping.

I will suggest you Consult a Dr. about your Stress if it is so High You assume Nicotine is required to help reduce it.( I Disagree)

Are you on any medications at this time? Those could be having an interaction.

Now, As to Nicotine and General Vaping............
When you Purchased 6mg, WAS IT EXACTLY the same Brand, Flavor and gp/vg you Have Been Vaping all along? o_O

Red Oil Based Paint
Red Acrylic Paint
Are All Red Paint, But All are significantly Different.:cool:

I hope your resurgence of heartburn isn't related to nic. Even when I've clearly had too much, "nic sick" for me has never included that, (slight nausea if anything).

I'd suspect that the stress you've been under is more to blame. When I've gotten acid reflux in the past, (very very rarely), it's been preceded by unusually high stress.

Ymmv, and good luck solving this soon. Heartburn and acid reflux are highly unpleasant, not to mention harmful. :(

Just get some plain vg. It taste good as is and thin it out with some distilled water. Look at your local Wally World on the First Aid Aisle. Under $4 I believe.
