I've been a long term Vaper on and off since 2012. I picked up heavily at the begging of 2015 to kick smoking.
Sir2fyablyNutz ECF Guru Verified Member ECF Veteran
Get some Prilosec for the indigestion. You stated the issue started around the same time you switched to menthol...switch flavors for a while, even to a bland peach to find out if it's the flavor you are having issues with.

Higher than 50% VG gives me, heavy chest, not really pain but pain like. Maybe you are developing a sensitivity to either VG or PG. Could also be nic level.... You will be more sensitive, after sleep and long periods of non use.
