Upset Stomach

[bzlytbeer]

Hey all! I have been vaping for about 7 years now. Up until 4 months ago, I had always been vaping 36mg VG juice, with no issues. On my last order, I bought 18mg VG liquid due to the fact that I started using a RBA where I direct inhale as it burned a bit too much with the 36mg.

Everything has been fine for the past 3 months, but now, I am noticing that after a few hits, my stomach is getting upset. No pain, just feel like I am going to hurl.

Does this sound like nic overload, or maybe something else?

I am thinking it's just nic overload. But I have heard of people getting upset stomach from certain juices, did you just change nic level or flavor as well?

18mg is pretty high for most people with an RDA. I would get something in 12mg and see if that helps. Nausea and vomiting are some symptoms of too much nic.

OTC Prilosec
Take once daily for 3-4 days. If Pain is relieved, Speak to your Dr about possible Acid Reflux.
Easy to misunderstand, but can turn into a serious problem if not properly treated.

* I'd probably back the nic % down a bit also, though most should NOT be visiting the stomach.

I know when id have too much nicotine I'd get an upset stomach or headache. Drinking water or eating something usually helped me.

 

[Yiana]

I say your nic is too high as well. When I first got a rda I had to cut my nic in half because I got pretty sick from it.

 

[roxynoodle]

This is weird, but citrus vapes aggravate my acid reflux. How vaping causes that I can't explain, but it does.

I can +1 for nicotine overdose. I found back when I was first vaping I'd get an upset stomach because I was vaping high pg with 18mg nic. Problem is I am a chain vaper so I cut it down to 12. Then 6. Right now I'm somewhere between 3 and 6, cutting it just right.

If you're using an rda you'll definitely want to cut down the nic a lot. 3 or 6 more likely.

Also note: something I heard is that dual coils will double your nicotine levels. I'm not too sure on that though. I even find 6mg too strong in my Sapor, where it's just right in my clearo.

Nic consumption is dictated as much by the person as the device.
Yes, increasing performance/efficiency more is delivered in less time., None the less, someone used to Vaping 18mg in a High performance tank may have no problem using 9mg in an RDA.

Op says - 7 year Vaper
after a few hits - to symptom exposure

Do not confuse personal use with another persons acceptable consumption.
While 18mg is strong for some, a Drop from 36mg to 18mg is huge.

Op Can you enlighten us as to what you upgrades from and your Vaping habits then/now?

 

[smacuser]

Is it from the same vendor? Not all VG is the same, I hear coconut or palm vegetable glycerin is the best to prevent upset stomach.

 

[Bunnykiller]

beside feeling like you are gonna toss your cookies, do you get a "full" feeling at the back of your throat too?...
Im gonna say youre getting close to nic OD...

The reason is probably because you are not paying attention to wattage.

take the 36mg and multiply by the wattage you used it at, and use that figure as your baseline.

While I understand that every person is different, and yes, 18 from 32 is a big drop, he is still getting a lot of nicotine, especially in a direct intake device such as an rda.

My main concern is *large amounts* of nicotine can damage your stomach lining over time and cause acid reflux, or worse an ulcer. Rdas seem to multiply that factor

It is also possible that op is allergic to something in the liquid he is *vaping. Perhaps a new flavor?

Bottom line is I'm no where close to being a doctor, so I suggest Op sees one if his condition worsens.

Agreed

No change in anything for the past 3 months. Using the same flavor for the past year, just lowered the nic 3-6 months ago. I just ordered 9mg to see how that goes. I have also been using my Kayfun V4 more than the RBA for about 4 weeks. I would think that would not be as intense as using the RBA... I guess I'll have to see how I feel when I get my delivery next week.

I never knew that nicotine could deteriorate the lining int he stomach. I would hate to think that I am going from destroying my lungs to tearing up my stomach.

So...
What wattage have you been vaping at for the last 7 years?

I would not read to much into that.
Stomach disorders can come from many things and crop up with no notable change in consumption. Age/Lite time eating/drinking habits/Stress/etc.
A Dr. is best for making sound determination and if needed, treatment.

We are just concerned community members with little medical knowledge.

Agreed - I am not looking for medical advice. I did see my doctor about this, and he is treating me for Gastritis.
For the wattage question, I have been using the same coil (.35 ohm) on my RTA for quite a while. In the beginning, I was changing out my wicks ever few days (using JOC), then moved to Rayon, and noticed I could go a bit longer. Last night I changed my wick out for the first time in 2 weeks, and I immediately noticed my stomach not being as upset aster a few pulls. Perhaps this issue was due to a crudded up wick. Not 100% sue, but the timing was really coincidental. I'll report back in a week and let you guys know if anything has changed, but last night/today is the first time in a couple weeks that I was not nauseous.

 

[bzlytbeer]

Sorry, never really stated the wattage. On the RTA (Kayfun v4) I use a .35 ohm coil, and I run at about 35-40 watts on my MVP Pro 3.

On the RDA (Plume Veil), I use a .5 ohm coil, and use it with a Ego One Mega battery, so not sure of the actual wattage.

Approximately 30w peak and dropping over discharge.
