Hi All! I'm new here. Been vaping on and off for about a month. So 2 days ago I decide this is it. No more analogs. At the end of the first night, I started getting bad gas pains and having to burp (lots). It's been that way since then. I'm vaping Space Jam Astro in nic of 12. Any thoughts on this? Will it go away? I really, really want this to work.
 
We all react differently. Are you possibly swallowing small amounts of the liquid, like we do when the draw gets a little slurpy?

In my case, I notice absolutely nothing when I do that. My mother hiccups uncontrollably for ten minutes and her stomach gets upset for about the same amount of time. I'm sure if we did a survey we could find ten other strange symptoms!

I had the same problem when I first started vaping. I finally pinned it down to the fact that I was vaping a lot and swallowing air through my mouth constantly and some of it was going down to my stomach.

I don't inhale to the lungs now, just shallow inhales into mouth and exhale through my nose. That has put an end to the problem.

Yes, I will try that. I really, really need to stop smoking. Grandfather died of lung cancer, mother is on oxygen, And I'm following right in their footsteps. Gotta change this.

a little (or a lot) of gas lol is far more of a bearable situation than the alternative which your relatives seem to be going through.. its worth it in every way imaginable .. just keep sticking with it, it will only get easier!

It's weird (or maybe not), but every vaper I know has developed that habit as well, including me. Maybe it's because we realize our lungs don't absorb the vapor very well and over time we just stop inhaling very much?

I had a couple days where my stomach was so swelled up I looked pregnant! Really bad gas pains and gas. It reminded me of the one and ONLY time I made the mistake of eating too many sugar free candies! I don't think mine was because of withdrawal as I was still smoking a few cigs but it only last a few days and did get better thank goodness!
