A Whole Foods employee recommended them to me when I had a serious attack in the store. Don't buy them there though since they are over twice the price as buying online.

Hi guys, I've been vaping for about 5 months but have recently started getting consistent heartburn (or what feels like heartburn). Been vaping the same juice (Menthol from healthcabin) so it's nothing to do with that. I have however just switched to a Vivi Nova tank in combination with my Ego Twist.

KerryK Super Member ECF Veteran

You didn't say what you were vaping with before the ego/vivi set up. Could it be your getting more nic juice into your system because the new set up is rocking the vape better?

KerryK Super Member ECF Veteran

Oh, have you changed any dietary habits as in are you drinking enough liquids when you are vaping?

I would suggest you see your Dr, as it sounds like acid reflux. I would also suggest you use something like Prilosec/Prevacid/Tagamet OTC to treat the heart burn, rather than Tums/Rolaids as the extra calcium in these can cause kidney stones (something I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy).

Running Wolf Super Member ECF Veteran

I agree with changing to something like Zantac instead of using a regular anti-acid.

Hi guys, thanks for all the responses and I apologize for my tardy response. I've been busy looking for a place to buy groceries if you catch my drift.
