E cig stomach ache
Male
So I have never smoked cigs before, my friend had an ecig and one day i was playing with it and enjoyed it. I use to smoke weed so smoking was nothing new, I have not used weed in a year and a half though. Please do not tell me using an ecig is unhealthy I already know this.
3 weeks ago I bought my own and used it and felt fine and stuff. Then 2 weeks ago I started to wake up before my alarm went off and felt my stomach to bubble and not feel good. Later in the morning about an hour later I would have diarrhea.
I had this for about a week. At this time I was on antibiotics so I figured the mixture of those and nicotine was making me feel that way. Then I quit using my ecig to see what happened. I still was having upset stomachs but eventually it went away so I started to use it again since I finished my antibiotics and the first 2 days nothing happened.
1 week ago the stomach aches kind of came back. I would wake up and feel bad but nothing ever happened. Then yesterday I used it alot and now this morning I woke up with a bad stomach ache but nothing happened, probably cause i took pepto bismol then went back to bed.
Is it my ecig that is causing this? It is only 16mg of nicotine in the juice in my tank. I was thinking of getting a lower dosage of mg of it but I am not 18 so i would have to ask my friend as i'm 17 but I hate asking him. Could it be what I am eating ? The time I do it before i go to bed? Sometimes i don't use it for 3 hours then go to bed then other nights i use it 30 minutes before I sleep. I'm just wondering what it could be. If it truly is the ecig i'll probably get rid of since it makes me feel this way.
any help is appreciated!

These things are maybe a bit new on the market to have enough info to say yes or no for sure. It might be a rare reaction to something in them, and simply not enough people have been polled yet to make it a 'known side effect'. The old nicotine patches have a few side-effect warnings, they're much more a 'known' product. Not sure how 16mg can be called 'only'. I smoke 10mg cigarettes (dreadful habit, I know) and quite often if I give somebody one they remark how strong they are and they make their head spin a bit! I'd definitely try something lower if they're rated the same as regular smokes. Maybe a web search might find a forum or two where fellow users swap their experiences. I've personally known people who say they are are a great way to cut down the regular cigs or quit altogether, and I believe they're less hazardous in other ways (except nicotine kicking your heart rate up) but never tried myself. No willpower mate! Some antibiotics can cause nausea, and will have a list of known side-effects in detail so if you've still got the box or leaflet check that too.

I am 17 as well and I had actually bought my first e cig yesterday and an e cig is to smoke when u get a craving not to be smoked the same a cigarette. But I was excited about it so I smokes it like a normal cigarette and it gave me a stomach ache made my throat hurt and gave me a headache. So now I'm only going to use it when I get a craving. If u would like to continue using it take a puff every now and than but not constant. I hope this helped.
