I don't see it mentioned so I'll mention it.
Smoking is protective against Ulcerative Colitis. Nicotine is protective against UC somewhat too.
If you've recently quit smoking to take up vaping and having GI changes it could be you are discovering you have UC that cigarettes were masking.
Once I got old my UC showed up as the not going problem along that only about 10% of people with IBD have, quitting cigarettes made that worse (smoke is a laxative). Plus bleeding that was already happening started getting worse as I figured I quit smoking too late and had cancer so cut nicotine too.
As has been said nicotine is also a laxative. If you've increased your nicotine to make up for the lack of other chemicals that could cause it.
And yes some people have reported that PG or VG causes them GI issues.

According to Ritchy there is fake Liqua floating around. You might want to check that you are vaping the real deal.
Let me see, nicotine, like caffeine and a a few other common things are mild laxatives. We drink more fluids when we vape, good for getting softer stools. We removed the other chemicals in smoke which have who knows what effects. Yep early on it can easily make the laxative effect more noticeable. Did for me too but, that goes away after a few months as your body gets used to the lack of a few thousand chemicals you used to get in smoke and, adjusts to you drinking more fluids.
Change juice, if that changes it, then adjust there as much as you can and, be patient with your body as it cleans out all the analog leftovers and gets used to actually being properly hydrated.

It certainly has this effect on me, but nowhere near what analogs did to me. I couldn't get through my first cig of the day without it feeling like it was gonna fall out of me lol.
here's and update if anyone's interested. Seems like only menthol has this effect on me. Everthing else that ive tried other than menthol seems to have no such side effects.
Glad you posted this. Thought I was the only one with the laxative effect of vaping. Just started vaping last Tues, it seems to have subsided a bit today - 1 week...
After 2 weeks of vaping, I have just started to notice this symptom. I wasn't sure if it could be nic OD, the body detoxing itself, or the body adjusting to vaping. It kinda seems from what I've read to be anyone's guess. I'll have to try some adjustments to see what alleviates the problem. I couldn't believe there was actually a thread on this, so kudos to the OP to have the courage to post it. Peace all.
Make sure you are drinking enough water. Dehydration causes the same symptoms, and vaping will dehydrate you.
There could be a laxative effect as well, but I wanted to mention that.
I think you've got the cart before the horse. Dehydration causes constipation. ........ causes dehydration so you drink more to avoid dehydration not to stop you from going.
Sounds like everyone has covered the topic. It is an effect of nicotine though it might, remotely, be an effect of the PG. MiraLAX is Polyethylene Glycol 3350, but you have to ingest it to get any effect.

vaping as a laxitive, because there are nicotine receptors in your colon which activates when intaking nicotine which makes you go to the restroom lol
