Stomach Problems

[RVLT]

I've been vaping for about a month, 11mg all different flavors, 2-3ml a day in ratios from 50/50 to 20pg/80vg mostly higher vg levels though, rarely 50/50. Recently I've been having stomach problems when I vape. It started the first time I had the RY4 from Liberty Flights, I thought it was that so I stopped vaping it but now it happens with all the flavors I have. It's usually a bloated feeling, slight nausea, and minor stomach pain.I don't have this problem when I'm not vaping, so I retty much ruled out non-vape related problems and I rarely get e-liquid in my mouth, so I don't think that's a problem, which I've read in other posts saying that it may be.

Has anyone experienced this before, weeks of vaping then suddenly have these issues?

What is your juice delivery device of choice? I ask because when I first started using my MT3 the draw was very airy and I had to change how I puffed my PV. My normal method of puffing resulted in actually ingesting air (frequently) which gave me all of the above symptoms and then some.

I use a VVN, DCT and cartos about equal amounts. I do take pre-puffs sometimes with my DCT since the hole is so small and it seems to not auto feed sometimes and the VVN is pretty new, got it around the time I started having these problems.

Good point by akatina but I would look @ water intake as that will cause the issue you describe. Drink (if your not already)at least half your body weight in OZ a day for at least 3/4 days & see where your at. Forgot to add that as your lungs clean house much of the toxins can wind up in the stomach & cause your prob. Water,water,water.

Does it only happen when you're actively vaping? If so, I would almost say it's psychosomatic, if you haven't changed your nic intake. I got nauseous yesterday, but I was very tired from not sleeping well, and using 18mg, where I usually do 12. (I was too lazy to change the tank.) If it was vaping, it would probably take you at least a few minutes to feel the effect.

Same nic level! I will try drinking more water even though I drink a good amount already. Does 2-3ml/day of 11mg sound like too much, I read somewhere that nicotine increases stomach acid, could that be the cause?

Everyone is different. Some folks actually vape 5mls+ a day of 36mg ejuice. The only way to know for sure would be to expirement and see how you feel.

Sorry, don't know the answer to that. I've never had stomach problems, but everyone is different. (You're a beautiful snowflake.) Agree with PepNYC on this one. Try it out. As coincidental as it might seem, you might also have some sort of stomach virus.

I think half your body weight (if I read that right) is a little much. When I had to collect all my urine for lab work, the doctor gave me a serious lecture because I upped my water consumption so high to produce more urine. He said I could have tissue-drowned. I drink about 64 ounces of liquid a day (or most usually 48) and do fine as a chain vaper. The standard "8 glasses a day" recommended to everyone is 64 ounces and I have never been able to do that but force myself now. Everyone is different. My husband and all his adult kids have "big gulp" body appendages and I've always thought it so strange.

I get a little woozy if I vape too much on an empty stomach, this used to happen a lot with regular cigs too... I dont eat much breakfast, substituting coffee instead, and vaping too much in the morning combined with the coffee will get me everytime.

Why you no like me?

 

[RVLT]

Maybe I do vape on an empty stomach too much. I skip breakfast some days too and just have coffee, since coffee is an appetite suppressor I'm usually fine until lunch time. It's been a busy few days for me so maybe that's it. I drink a good amount of water if not 8 glasses then it's close.

I will get a bit queezy if I vape on an empty stomach... so I started eating at least a hard boiled egg every morning. you can get them at the supermarket pre-shelled and that will get me to lunch if I'm not hungry at breakfast.
I vape about 6ml a day. I was vaping between 0 and 6 mg until I got more stress at the office and I upped it to 12 mg. Now the stress is getting less and I will lower the nic again. Still higher nic can also give that queezy feeling. I think at 11 you should be ok in that department unless your body "needs" much less.

Happens to me too, and I've been vaping for years. I don't vape at night because of it, and I've recently upped my nic level so I vape less. The symptoms everyone else is describing is nicotine overdose. You're not getting that. I don't think there's a cure, as I've tried a bunch of things, from different juices to different nic level to pure vg or pg. I'm not sure what the cause is, but it's manageable for me.

In some people, myself included, tasting causes digestive acid drip in the stomach getting primed to do its thing on food. Its not a problem as long as food does, in fact, hit the stomach for those juices to act on but if there's no food, then it works on the stomach lining. Enough of that and nausea hits and, at worst, pain. Prilosec works for me... doc prescribes it but its sold over the counter. I have to take one every morning.

Avoid acidic juices.

I drink alot, I was having some problems but once I started drinking alot it ended, I have IBS and quiting smoking has caused it to flare up but as long as im drinking even it is minimal.
Some of the sweeter food flavors cause a bit of acid indegestion but again drinking water helps.
after a few vapes I take a drink or two or three..
