Stomach Ache, Flatulence

[hnsenter]

I've seen a couple posts about farting, besides the jokes, I haven't seen anything concrete in this direction. When I switched to a dripper, I ended up getting a lot of stomach aches, and more than normal flatulence. My stomach aches became much more frequent, and at times almost instantly after I took a hit. Now that I've switched back to a cardo, all of it went away.

When I had a dripper, I did have a lot of instances where the juice came up instead of just vape. I'm under the assumption that it's the juice that's some how ending up in my stomach that's causing abdominal irritations. Does anyone know about the effect of the juice on the human body when it's ingested?

I have no scientic articles, but swallowing even small amounts of ejuice gives me reflux and a stomach ache, so I make sure I don't swallow any. If it gets in my mouth w/out being vaporized, I spit then perform a good mouth wash w/water.

E-juice is not meant to be taken orally. This is a matter of common sense. Since your dripping technique was causing problems, good thing you switched back to carts!

As for flatulence, it's not uncommon with new vapers. I found a new friend in Gas-X and generic simethicone equivalents. After a few months, the condition subsided.

I was just dripping a little too much because I was annoyed with dripping way too frequently. After I get over my cold I'm going to try to go back on my dripper to see if it goes well. But getting juice in your mouth is inevitable, especially if you're using a dripper or rebuildable atomizer. I"m not saying it'll happen all the time, but I've seen even seasoned vapers make mistakes.

I'm also wondering, how bad is the e-juice for the human body if ingested~~

This is something that nicotine does, at least in my experience. Drippers tend to hit "harder", imo, as in you're getting more nicotine from each hit vs something like a clearomizer. I had issues like that back when I smoked cigarettes.
