Having e-liquid give you gas (belching or intestinal) or indigestion was identified and confirmed by loads of members as far back as 2008! There are loads of threads on ECF about the subject (some are very funny). Here is an early one:
http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/health-safety-e-smoking/3587-help-gas-constipated-gas.html

Eventually, most of us get used to vaping and the odd symptoms will go away within a few months. Here is a list of what you may experience: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...hen-quitting-tobacco-changing-ecigarette.html
You can do more searches in that forum (Health, Safety and E-Smoking) with any other questions you have or look for symptoms you may be experiencing to see if it is common.

If you are getting e-liquid in your mouth and swallowing it, that can cause some of these stomach issues as well. Try to spit it out if you can (I carry a tissue) and keep your cartridge exterior and mouthpiece interior clear from e-liquid.

Also, if you direct inhale, you could be swallowing air perhaps. Try bringing the vapor into your mouth first, then inhale into the lungs.

If the feeling you are experiencing doesn't go away after a few months or gets a bit worse, try switching to a liquid with a different ingredient list (such as all VG, a different flavor or straight PG if you are using one with VG in it now).

Another thing that may be causing this is too high of a nicotine level (we all vape a bit too much when we first get these and are quitting). If you are constantly vaping, try cutting down your nicotine level that you're vaping a bit and the stomach issues may go away.

If symptoms are mild, over the counter products should help. Not sure if they have Gas-X, Prilosec and Rolaids in Singapore but I'm sure you can find something similar. Perhaps one will give you some relief.

If you start experiencing worsening or severe stomach problems, see your physician to see if you are having issues with GERD or other gastro issues.

Hang in there :)
