Yes, nicotine can cause eruptive symptoms.

But I think VG is more of a problem. VG is one of the principal ingredients in many laxatives. If you're vaping even a 70/30% PG/VG mix, you may be ingesting enough VG via swallowing condensed e-liquid to trigger the symptoms you're noting.

For a while, I was vaping some 90% to 100% VG e-liquids. When I went to the smallest room in the house, I had to wear a bicycle helmet to protect my skull when I blasted off the launch pad. ;)

I haven't noticed a difference tbh. Then again, when I started vaping I also started eating healthier. Yogurt every day and every night, no more coffee, much more kale and spinach, and exercise more regularly. My toilet ordeals are very healthy and don't occur too often or not enough. I vape 80% VG btw, so I'm not convinced of the laxative properties. If that were the case, (dont read further unless you don't mind grossness) the poo would be broken up/watered down and overall unhealthy, which mine is not. I know its not popular to take note of this stuff, but the color and consistency or your poo tells alot about the health of your digestive system and the quality of your diet.

All over the place
In all seriousness, I have had one vendor (not to be named here) that had juice that, for whatever reason, had this effect on me. This only happened with this one vendor, and it happened with all of her juices. I tried each one on different days, but no matter what, those juices got my stomach rumbling.

We're all adults here and I think this is a valid concern/question. My guess is that it was her nicotine. No other vendor or juice has had this effect on my system (thak GAWD!)

Now, if you're saying that you were a non-smoker, that may have something to do with it, but it may not. Is this with any and all juices (different vendors), or a particular one?

ive never had this issue with nic but definately with coffee (which is know to do this to some ppl). coffee is a stimulant which is what causes the issue. nicotine is also a stimulant. so would lead me to believe it could cause the same issue if you are sensitive to it. i dont know if you use a juice with a nicotine content but that would be my guess.
