Stomach aches

[LeafFan]

I've been using e-cigs for a few months now off and on, and I noticed I get mild to fairly severe stomach cramping at times. I thought it may have been the nicotine, but found the non-nicotine blends did the same. I've only used the Propylene Glycol types, not the Glycerine. Wondering if anyone has any advice for a Glycerine based brand (I'm to lazy to fill them myself)

I don't know what you can get in Canada. If you get 5 non-spammed posts or replies in New Members then wait about an hour, then you could ask in the Health section about your stomach and the Canada section about where you can get VG carts or cartos I do not know what ecig you have.

In the US I know Vapor4Life has a very small section of VG cartomizers (it's a KR808D-1)

Hey LeafFan, welcome to the forums. You might want to try a 50/50 vg/pg mix. Works well for me.

Hi Leaf! First off - yay! - another Canadian!

Second - go to a doctor.

I know the ECF forum is a great place and it's easy to get advice here, however, whatever is going on with you may not be vaping related. You won't know for sure until you have it checked by a qualified physician.

And - when you get your post count up come on over to the Canadian sub forum and post a while. We'd love to see ya there!

Hi LeafFan!
As mentioned, this could be something else than vaping-related, I recommend seing a doctor.

By second tip is to dring LOTS of water. Vaping is known to dehydrate you, which can cause many different symptoms, and I think stomach- aches could be one of them.

I have gastritis, but I don't think vaping will do more damage than my analogs, right?

Hi LeafFan,
I was also getting some stomach discomfort, especially when vaping after a meal. Switching to another juice manafacturer solved the problem. No more stomach problems no matter how much I vape, even after a meal. Since the nicotine content of the juice didn't change and it was still a pg base, I figured it had something to do with the type of flavoring of the old juice. Maybe trying a different source could help solve your problem

I also sometimes get a mild stomach cramp if I vape too much, just as I always did with cigarettes. Not really painful more of just a knot. I always attributed it to nicotine, but also noticed that it doesn't seem to directly relate to nic strength. It does keep me from vaping more than a few times a day. I've otherwise got a cast iron stomach so in my case at least I know that I'm just sensitive to something thats in common with both ecigs and analogs, which I am assuming is the nicotine.
