I eat garlic raw--like mints (we grow it).
I make curry so hot it makes you blind in one eye for three days.
Even when my reflux was raging, neither of those bothered it.
Sugar and fried foods and dairy foods would send me screaming, though.
So everyone is different.
If it is vaping that makes you have reflux, experiment to find out why and adjust.

I guess I'll have to see. This thread is very helpful. I'm not an everyday smoker. More like um..how can I put this. Let's just say I don't smoke often. On occasion I guess. I like reading everyones experience. Really helpful.
Thank-you for all the input! I have had acid reflux for a dozen years or so. I was on protonix but wonderful insurance company decided prilosec was just as good and since I could buy that over the counter refused to pay for it any more. From reading here I think I will ask my doctor to tell the insurance company that it has been two years and the prilosec just isn't doing it.
Yeah, I hear you on the hiatal hernia. Whenever I have influenza/vomiting I am frightened of going into gagging spasms which are extremely painful due to hh. Twice I have ended up in the ER for a shot (muscle relaxant?) to calm it down. I laugh when I read it is a "minor" problem. Sort of like when a doctor tells you something is going to cause you "minor" discomfort!
I have had 56 radiation treatments to upper and lower mantels 25 years ago, back in the day when they thought more was good for ya! So straight down my spinal column, front and back, is kinda noodily.
So glad to find vaping. Wasn't looking forward to telling drs I had started smoking again after quitting 15 years ago!
Mint seems to make it feel better. The sweeter stuff seems to bring it on! Still experimenting. Anyone know of a good vape juice recipe that has ginger in it? Guess I'll go check out the recipe threads.

Today is day three of vaping and I had heartburn earlier.
It was unpleasant I took a Pepcid Complete and ate something.
I feel better now but I am worried about the heartburn.
Used to have stomach troubles years back and the odd stomach ache now but that heartburn was vicious.
I have not had a analog in two and one half days, or since the mailmail brought me my e cigs.
I made a response video on youtube under sunkissedbeach, the video is a bit in a haze as my web cam is going funky on my macbook.

sunkissed, some people experience heartburn when they first quit smoking. Give it a few days, and see how you feel.
twowings, you might want to watch out for the Mint. I was eating peppermint antacids like they were going out of style until my doctor told me I was probably just aggrevating my reflux. She told me peppermint relaxes the esophagus so initially you will feel relief, but since your esophagus is relaxed it will allow the acid from your stomach to back up into the esophagus then you end up with a bout of acid reflux.
Since I quit using mint flavored antacids I have cut the times I experience reflux in half.
Hope your reflux calms down.

I had acid reflux and heartburn for years until I started vaping, now is so seldom I have greatly lowered my dosage of aciphex. Echoing others it is just certain foods now that even give me a twinge.
Wow, I can't believe the wide range of answers. I have had reflux problems since 1986, medication has been successful up until 2006 when I had several episodes of GURD. Gurd mimicks a heart attack so it is a very unpleasant condition. Increased medication has kept the acid reflux undercontrol until I started vaping. Now I am taking the maximum dosage of everything including the Kitchen sink and it is still raging on.
I have cut back on the strength of the nic juice hoping that this will help. I believe that my gut is responding to the nicotine as a stimulant. Going to the gastro doc today hoping for new answer and soluition.

I think that's just a side-effect of nicotine, especially when it's dosed orally. Alcohol does it too. They relax the esophageal walls, which is bad news if you're prone to reflux.
I was pleasantly surprised at the reaction of my gastro doctor. After a very lengthy discussion of my history I explained the conversion from cigarettes to the e-cig. He had not heard about them but was very openminded about the possibility that I am taking in too much nocitone. He wasn't surprised about the FDA's response at all. After a poke and prod session and listening to my breathing I told him that prior to quitting cigarettes that I would have been able to take that many deep breaths without caughing. He asked me if I had told my good news to my lung doctor. I plan on making an appointment with him soon.
His recommendation was that I try and reduce the nicotine and call him in a week and report if the symptoms are still present or not.
My plan is to reduce my nicotine juice from 24mg to 12 to see if I can curb the reflux. I hope this works.

I started getting really bad acid reflux using my 510 with 24mg juice from nuvape.com. It was actually so bad that I was aspirating stomach acid into my lungs and it caused what my doctor called acute asthma (never had an asthma problem before in my life) I had to get an inhaler and stuff, it wasn't very cool. I switched to a VG 12mg juice from juicyliquid and I haven't had a problem since.
I've been vaping for over 6 months now and I notice that I do get heartburn more frequently. Its usually the next day after a heavy night of vaping.
Some flavors are worse than others. My favorites, mint and menthol give me the worst heartburn. Redcow and cola have less effect on me. I use low dose carts and liquids. (6mg).
New carts seem to cause more issues for me than a broken in one.
My ultimate goal is to quit vaping as well, so I guess this should be incentive to do so. But I definitely don't have urges to smoke analogs anymore.

Yes, nicotine does cause heartburn and indigestion. Maybe try a lower juice?
I also had heartburn the first week I quit smoking. Remember that your digestive system gets completely screwed from smoking analogs, and it takes a good few weeks for it to normalize...or longer, I'm sure. I've been quit for three weeks today, and my digestion is just now feeling more 'normal'...whatever that is. LOL

I lowered my ninc juice to slightly less than 18mg. It took care of my acid reflux but my nicotine withdrawal symptoms returned. I am going to try slightly higher nic juice mg.

What might help some, if lowering your nicotine isn't possible (= best solution of course), is the following: next time you are in a foodstore, buy some apple- (or Cider-) vinegar. Whenever you need it, put a little water in a glass (just about a mouthfull) and add a little bit of the apple-vinegar. Swallow this, and if it's too awful then take a mouthful of clear water to rinse it away.
This might really help some people very quickly - matter of seconds before it starts to work (for me at least).

My take on it is that the body is reacting to the flavorings in the liquid. Now, acid reflux is caused, usually, by either excessive acid in the stomach forcing it's way out. Or, a weak sphincter (This has to be the only medical term I just can't say with out grinning) that is alowing the acid through.
My experience is that if I have not eaten, I will get a flair up within a vape or two. There is no way Nicotine has gotten to my stomach at that point so it has to be something else.
There is a trigger to the stomach when the mouth tastes food to get it ready for digestion, it starts to do it's dance and secrete acid. Problem is, the food never shows and the acid starts to build.
Just my take on it and maybe not everyones issue.
