When I use it, I get stomach problems and loose stool/......... I smoked analogs after this happened yesterday and I was fine. Tried vaping again today and am having the same problem. The lad at the store today had no idea what I was talking about and said she's never heard of it before. Any help? I'm using Berry Berry from Vixen vapors, 50 VG/ 50 PG. Is it vaping in general causing this or the juice I'm using? It can't be tobacco withdrawal because I just had an analog this morning before I tried vaping again.

I'd just hate to waste all this money I spent on supplies if this isn't going to work for me. I was hoping it would and it seems like no one at the store has ever heard of this problem before. Am I just a freak?

Many possibilites there...this may not be related to vaporing at all..U could simply be starting to come down with a simple common stomach bug passing around...or U may have an allergy to the PG or the flavored liquid...some people are allergic to PG and some flavors like citrus or berry...I'd quit vaping for a day or 2 and see if your stomach gets better...if not, ya know its a virus bug...if it does clear up then ya know ya need to change to 100% VG, and eliminate all PG....and I'd try a 555 tobacco flavor or non fruit related flavor..process of elimination..good luck and hope ya feel better..

This is a good one.
It may be withdrawal from one of the many compounds in Cigarettes or a PG or VG allergy.
Or chemical allergy.

I'd go to VirginVapes and buy a 100% VG Organic Flavored Liquid. Try something neutral like a Kona cream.
or Chocolate and see what happens.

After a year or two I developed allergies to PG and artificial Chemicals and ended up vaping 100% VG Liquid that I make myself
from Organic Flavorings.

i would guess its probably the flavoring in the ejuice your using ive come across a few flavors that have upset my stomach,i stoped using them and have had no other problems,try a different vendor to some use different grades of pg/vg and nic base some of my favor juice vendors i just cant vape for one reason or another because of something they use in there juices.

If vaping is giving you the loosie-goosies, it may well be the VG. Glycerine is usually one of the principal ingredients in laxative suppositories, and it can really grease the skids, if you get my meaning.

Back when I was vaping 20%/80% PG/VG, I had to wear a bicycle helment whenever I visited the launch pad. A switch to 70%/30% PG/VG mostly solved the problem.

I had the same reaction when i first started. I just forced myself to ignore it and it eventually subsided.

As others have said, it could be a combination of many things. Also remember that nicotine acts as a mild laxative, so your nic levels may have a factor in this as well.

Good luck figuring it out.

I tried a 80VG/20PG earlier today and maybe I'm mixing things up and changing things too quick. But it made things even worse, I had to take some Immodium. I'm staying off them the rest of the day and until tomorrow evening and I'll try the 30VG/70PG...I just hope that's not too much. I'm thinking it might be the VG at this point. The nicotine I lowered to 16mg. 14mg wasn't enough, so I don't think it's too much nicotine unless I'm vaping more than I was smoking?

If it is the VG, what is the highest level of PG you can get? 80? 90?
