Hello. I have been smoking for 10 years and lately I was smoking about 6 cigarettes a day and I had stomach reflux problem until I decided to vape. I started vaping about seven months ago and I used nicotine salts 30 mg. I recently realized My stomach reflux problem has worsened. I wanted to know if this happened because of too much nicotine? And if it is better for me to use regular juices with 3 mg nicotine
Did you see your Doctor when you had your reflux poblem prior to vaping?
Soooooo, it's worsened... have you seen your Doctor?
There are many Causes... seeing your Doctor is the First Step.
ECF does not have Doctor's on-call to help you Diagnose what sounds like a preexisting (prior to vaping) health problem.
Make an appointment to see your doctor, be sure to tell him/her that you had this problem at the time you were smoking cigs.
Good luck!!!

Yes, I had already visited the doctor and he said that this happened because of smoking. But I wanted to know how much nicotine affects gastric reflux
Smoking has been linked to gastric reflux for 2 reasons:
Nicotine can loosen the sphincter, predisposing a person to experience reflux, the direct cause of which is something else.
Smoke in the mouth can reduce salivation which, in turn, can reduce the clearing of stomach acid.
Those contributing factors having been recognized, neither smoking nor nicotine is considered a dominant risk factor for reflux. That is, they may contribute to it but aren't likely to be a primary cause. You say you smoked just 6 cigarettes a day; it's highly unlikely smoking seriously impacted, let alone caused, your reflux, particularly since you say you smoked for 10 years but began experiencing reflux only lately (caveat: i'm not an MD). The propylene glycol in most e-liquids, rather than the nicotine, has a drying effect on the mouth (a dehydrating effect on the body, actually). That may exacerbate your condition, tho' it would be the 1st time anyone has heard of such. Drinking enough water is the simple solution.
Too many doctors are too quick to identify smoking as the primary cause of every ailment under the sun. And too many are ignorant enough about vaping that they treat it as if it's the same thing as smoking. i would suggest strongly that you seek a 2nd medical opinion & a more thorough diagnosis.
In the meantime, since you're experiencing reflux, avoid smoking entirely and either stop vaping or, if you need to vape to stay away from cigarettes, use e-liquid w/ a low % of pg & be sure to drink plenty of water. Doubtful it will help but it won't hurt.

6 cigarettes its almost nothing, and i assuming that you vape quite little too... !? And probably you are vaping to on a small device... something like the mini disposable devices... !?
If yes, i think it's better to have a proper device with an atomizer and a battery, so you can have a little better coils, so you can have a little better - quality vapor production ... there are very good kits out there and you don't need to spend a lot of money... !
Also you can try normal e-liquids with normal nicotines ( not salt based nicotines) they have less persentage of nicotine because they are in a different type of nicotine, and you can choose your percentage or to not have nicotine at all... ! And maybe is the PG that causes you this symptom... !? So you can find e-liquids in varient levels of VG-VG % , so you can try and choose what is better for you... !
Just my opinion... !

Yes, I use an ursa Nano pod and 25 mg nicotine juices. Maybe, as you said, it is better to use 10 mg nicotine salts or regular juices.
Yeah i think it's better... if with this one you have some issues as you said... then tried some different... and maybe you find it... !?
Too much salivation can cause reflux. Any time I have something in my mouth I will salivate, that's why I don't chew gum.
I've also heard crappy VG that's not a palm derivative can cause reflux, too.

I had something similar a while ago, I was drinking several cups of coffee a day which was actually the cause
I dropped down to one, then switch to tea for a few years, limit 2 per day
im back to drinking coffee again, 2 cups
I do still have the odd time where I need to take a chew tablet or drink gaviscon but its maybe once a month if that, the last bottle I bought is over 2 years old where before I would be buying a bottle every month or so
