I'm two months in and I have never experienced nothing like this. Anyone else? Seems odd.

A very vague symptom and no details. . . hmmmmmm. . . . how about:

How old are you?
How long did you smoke?
How much did you smoke?
What type of cigarettes did you smoke?
Did you get this "heartburn" from cigarettes?

Why did you try vaping?
What are you using? In details.
How often and how much and what?

Answer these questions and maybe someone can help you, possibly myself.

How old are you? 23

How long did you smoke? tried my first smoke at 12 but consistantly since i was 18

How much did you smoke? about a pack a day

What type of cigarettes did you smoke? camel menthol

Did you get this "heartburn" from cigarettes? no

Why did you try vaping? why does anyone? rather not buy cancer from the gas station

What are you using? In details. currently using a janty stick with the polar mint JS carts and its high, i think its 16 or 18mg

How often and how much and what? im still new to vaping so i probably over vape a lot id say i get in 10 hits an hr? im not really sure im not keeping track of it

Cool.

I think you may be over doing it a little. Imagine chain smoking for a couple of hours- I don't know about you but I'd be green after three. And I smoked 2 packs a day for the last 5 years I smoked.

Didn't mean to come off strong dude.

Maybe try a lower nic mg, or get some no nic and cut. Or just try to set that thing down occasionally. Nicotene is an appetite supressant. So one can assume OD'ing on it for any amount of time is going to make your stomach hurt.

You've only been smoking for 5 years. Looking back I could have probably just quit after that amount of time. Have you tried?

ok im wondering cause i keep getting heart burn from inhaling, only like 2 weeks into vaping and i got the same from the nic gum, which sucked so bad any idea other then not inhaling to get rid of it? or why is it happening is a better question

I usually only get heartburn if I'm really hitting the thing consistently for a couple hours. If that happens I chew a tums or a small swig of pepto will get rid of it for the rest of the day. Also, lowering the nic content in your liquid might help. It's hard to say really since everyone seems to be a little different when it comes to vaping. Personally, the biggest problem I face is the flavor disappearing for a couple days every once in a while. Dunno why it happens, but sometimes I just can't taste the vapor for a couple days. Everything else tastes normal though.

shoot i wish i could quit ive tried several times, it seems as if it would be easy with only 5 years in but A: i have a very addictive personality, which is why i dont gamble lol and B: my job is high stress so trying to quit would require me to probably quit my job as well but i appreciate the insight, im probably just over doing it is all, i keep saying im drowning my analog addiction in nic lol

AppleJackson-

I noticed that too. It happened a couple weeks ago. Coincidentally- I had just got a new bottle of juice- thought it was bad or something and then it just came back.

Odd. And I basically told hime the same thing so. . . it's not just me. That's good to have someone else say it too.

Yeah, it's weird. Happened like 3 or 4 times since I started a couple months ago... Oh well, better no flavor than ashtray flavor, right? I think I'm going to try vaping unflavored nic juice for a day the next time it happens (assuming it does) and see if that helps. My completely unscientific theory is that our tongues get burnt out on the flavoring and adjusts. If it doesn't taste like anything anyway, I'll take the flavoring out of the equation for a day and see if it's back the next using flavored again. Worth a shot, and better than wasting my flavored stuff when I can't taste it anyway.

Sometimes I think I've under-estimated what a little too much nicotine can do. A few years ago I used nicotine gum to try to quit smoking. I couldn't believe how nauseated it made me. Try a low dose of nic.... I'm doing 11 mg of nic now and want to reduce it to nothing.

I hope you find your solution soon, because I think anyone who wants off analogs deserves to have a pleasant e-cig experience. Don't feel like the lone ranger, there are others here who are working hard to make it work for them too. I hope you all succeed!

For me it wasn't even really about getting off the analogs, or more generally speaking, smoking. I'd already effectively quit mostly because I was bored with smoking and paying for it. I used Chantix (I didn't get any of the scary effects, but I was otherwise medicated so that might've helped), but I would still smoke when drinking. I wasn't really looking to fix that, but I knew it would eventually get me smoking regularly again. I just happened upon e-cigs somewhere and found Blu first (but never completed an order--found this place first), and to me, they sounded better than cigarettes based on flavor and cost before I even considered any health benefits. Sounded cool so I tried it. Waaaayyy better than smoking to me. Now I vape all the time. I'll be pretty po'd if they ban these things, but I'm pretty sure I won't go back to analogs now. They taste awful after using the e-cig for a while. Much worse than when you quit smoking without e-cigs.

I had some heartburn when I first started vaping. I think it may have been from getting juice in my mouth frequently until I finally got used to vaping. Now I only get a little in my mouth occasionally and I don't have heartburn from it any more. Of course it may also have been a side effect of quiting smoking, or getting used to PG, or moving to a mix of VG and PG instead of just PG. Good luck and welcome to vaping :).

You also have to consider that it's a vapor, so it's condensing into the liquid all the way down your throat and windpipe and dripping down into your esophagus. If you're vaping a ton at a time, it's not much different from sucking down juice droplets really. I think over time your body adjusts a bit to this as well.

I know what you're saying man. I was just curious, that's all.

I remember my Dad, a life long smoker, told me after i had been smoking for about a year, how easy it would be for me to quit at that point.

Being the smartass 16-17 year old that i was I said- "sure Dad I can quit any time I want".

FAIL. Epically. He was so right and I can still hear his voice saying that to me. I was such a dumbass.

Now 22 years later and a two pack a day habit for the last five years I am damn glad I found this forum and an alternative. Money- not a problem. My health- a huge ... problem.

God I love my Dad. I just wish I had been smarter and actually listened and not thought that I was above his life experience.

Doesn't everyone? That's what being a teenager's all about though.
