Vaping and heartburn

[Nightshard]

I've been vaping for the last 8 months now and its great.
I feel, smell and breath much better now, but I've noticed that i have a lot more heartburn now, especially after i vape a lot.

I suppose it's only a problem for those who have heartburn in the first place, but how is it for you guys?

I got heartburn from cigs, I still get it from vaping. Still keep Rolaids in my pocket. Doesn't happen constantly, but fairly often. Pretty sure I'm just predisposed - my dad hasn't smoked in 15 years, but he has chronic heartburn. I think some people are just genetically inclined to it.

i had constant heartburn when i smoked, now i only get it occasionally... and generally right after eating Italian, or if i get a bit of juice in my mouth (but that's short lived)

Amazing how it's different for everybody.

Probably has something to do with the amount of air you are swallowing. I know it happens to me sometimes.

You may want to consider reducing your nic level to see if that helps.

I am getting heartburn more frequently because my water intake has tripled since I started vaping.

If you are getting any juice in your mouth I found causes me to get it. Since gong to cartomizers and tanks its seems to totally stop the HB symptoms.
When I was using attys and is common to get it nic on your lips-mouth seemed to cause HB.. Dont know if thats your situation or not.. Try reducing nic too if you are using high MG.. Certain flavoring might also be the culprit..

I don't get it all the time, but a lot more than when I smoked cigs. It couldn't be the cheap bologna I had for lunch...no way. at least that's what I'm blaming it on as part of my rationalization.

Heartburn sux. I'm prone to it and have to avoid certain foods completely. I'm not chronic but it's bothersome. I think nic increases it in general when combined with other factors. I don't think anything in vaping (except nic) can cause or enhance heartburn.

My step sone did get heartburn the first few days, then I got him to use non menthol juice (he always smoked menthol analogs and always had heartburn 2-4 times a day) no more heartburn unless he eats really spicy food. I suspect, like his dad, he has a hiatial hernia that is aggravated by certain things.

I have IBS/IBD and just went on Prilosec permanently a couple yrs ago. It's still available by prescription here, so it costs basically nothing compared to retail.

too much caffeine causes heartburn. caffeine is a stimulant. Nicotine is a stimulant... when I vape too much, I get heartburn... not saying it is related, because I don't even play doctor on TV. (maybe in bed, or the shower.... )
but, it could be the same thing. try reducing your NIC intake by a couple of mg/ml and see if that helps any.
Just because you were addicted to tobacco does not mean you were addicted to nicotine and you can probably lower it safely with no ill effects.
