Side effects of vaping...

[rgptimber]

It is known that some people are allergic to the propylene glycol. I work in a vapor shop and when I get a 30 to 40 year smoker the first few days will cause thier throat discomfort. IF this continues then it is definitely an allergic reaction to the Pg. Use 100 VG and you'll feel much better

I have been vaping now for about 2 weeks, previously smoking for 26 years. The only side effects I have noticed is nightly acid reflux, I have been prone to it all my adult life really particularly when eating rich or heavy foods, but never so much as every night! Searching the web I see I am not alone in this, looks to be reasonably common. I have been unable however to find anyone reporting a direct cause such as PG and so forth. My feeling is it may well be linked to flavourings, so I might try ordering some PG/VG bottles and DIY a bit and try no flavourings at all.

At the moment I am combating this by drinking milk throughout the evening, which is working pretty well although I still can tell my stomach is working pretty hard.

If anyone has also experienced this and found a cure that worked for them I would definitely be interested in hearing about it.

I had that in my first month or so after giving up smoking and just vaping but that has gone now.

Hi. The acid reflux thing is very discomforting. I get it only with certain flavours, the worst for me is menthol. If milk is helping, then it is highly likely 'not' acid reflux. My wife is an S.R.N. of many years and experience, and when I first suffered with it I also tried milk to relieve it, however, according to medical advice, i.e. 'The Missus!', milk will actually aggravate 'acid reflux'. It is probably some sort of aggravation to the throat or esophagus from the flavouring. I took to vaping after a couple of medical problems, one being a heart attack. I find my G.T.N. spray gets rid of the burning sensation within a minute or so. Doubt your doctor will prescribe it just to help you with your vaping, but if you do ask him, PLEASE post your experience on this forum.

Im a few months into vaping and I get an occasional tight feeling in my upper stomach area.
Nothing terrible, and seems to go away quickly.

Just a little bit of condensed vapour in my nostrils after I exhale nasally with some brands of juice.
5 months on and I still don't want an analogue. I even tolerate my wife having analogues indoors (I did try to get her to go out side, and bought her an evod kit for inside - to no avail)
