Is it higher VG or higher PG that gives you heartburn?

[EKat]

Curious, I have been getting it lately and I have upped my VG ....

For me VG/PG don't seem to cause that problem. Sometimes when I over nic I get the feeling of heartburn, it passes quickly however. What's you nic level?

12mg ,I thought this too but someone mentioned on a thread yesterday that they got heartburn from 70/30 and had to stay at 50/50 wasn't sure if it was VG they were talking about or hopefully it was PG...

VG or PG should not cause heartburn. Nicotine, a very dry atomizer or if you have a sensitivity to PG/VG is most likely the culprit.

Nicotine gives me heartburn.

Esp. if I swallow any of the nic juice.

also, some flavorings, like cinnamon.

Since I moved to lower nic and high VG I have no problem anymore.

I'm sure it is different for everyone though

Eating citrus fruit or drinking citrus juice has always given me heartburn. Stinks, because oranges are one of my favorites!

I've had heartburn on several occasions when vaping citrus e-liquid blends. Various nic strengths and pg/vg ratios never seemed to bother me.

A dose of Prilosec before indulging works for me.

In my opinion, the #1 factor that will cause heartburn when vaping is the actual flavor your vaping. Sweeter, darker juices will usually be the culprit - and then nicotine is also a factor along with how much you vape. However, I would like to bring up the following: I actually have really bad acid reflux which is similar to heartburn and I've found that the same is true but with the addition of VG being a culprit. I try not to have any sweets/acids before bed so as to not upset my stomach, and with VG being a sweet liquid, it often irritates it. So...it could very well be possible that the VG is your culprit. I'd say some experimentation is in order

I actually heard from a DIYer that it's VG. She switched to using Palm based VG because of the supposed purity and that took care it.

This sensitivity effects a small percentage of VG users.
