WHAT IS VAPING?
Vaping is the act of using a device to ‘vaporize’ a mixture which is then inhaled. The vape device uses a battery to heat up a coil that turns a liquid - made from Vegetable Glycerine (VG), Propylene Glycol (PG), Nicotine and flavourings - into an aerosol, which is inhaled into the lungs, where the nicotine is absorbed.
OVEREXPOSURE TO VAPING AND POSSIBLE HEALTH CONCERNS
Over-using your vape could result in nicotine poisoning, if you are vaping e-liquid containing nicotine. Immediate symptoms of nicotine poisoning include feeling nauseous, stomach ache, higher blood pressure, dizziness, headache, faster heartbeat, quick heavy breathing, pale skin and mouth watering.
WHAT DOES SCIENCE SAYS
The effects of vaping on the human digestive system are still unclear, though studies are beginning to scrape the surface.
E-LIQUIDS AND EFFECTS ON DIGESTIVE HEALTH
E-liquids are made up of Propylene Glycol (PG), Vegetable Glycerine (VG), flavourings and nicotine. Nicotine free liquids have the same composition, just without the nicotine! This is the case for the UK, at least - in countries with less regulation there may be other additives, like diacetyl, that are harmful to vape.

At present, more studies need to be done to investigate the effects of vaping on the digestive system.

My OH had the same problem - seems it was using the vapouriser like a ciggie. Slow down with the inhales and try a weaker strength. He went down to 6mg and was fine. We are both now using 11 mg hemp oil from Vibrant Vapours and it is so much smoother. Don't give up!
