Regurgitates are bad news I would wait 5 days with no handling and check temps with more than two thermometers and if everything was good try again and if that comes back up a trip to the vet

One of the biggest issues I have seen with corns are temps and cleanliness

And I would also say if you smoke do it outside

26°C = 78°F

28°C = 82°F

The heated (warm) hide should be 28-29 C. The rest of the enclosure should be 22-24 C but as long as it is cooler than the warm side even 25 is okay. He needs that proper warm hide temperature. Making it too cool can result in another regurge. Do not disturb him or handle him.

why are you trying to lower the temp?

A Corn snake needs a temp of about 83 to 88 degrees (F) For proper digestion.

the lower temp of 24 to 26 degrees (C) would be ok for the cool side of the cage, but the other side should stay around 30 degrees (C).

Your snake will then have an option, if he wants to cool down he can go to the cool side and if he's trying to digest his food he will go to the warm side.

Improper temps is one of the reason snakes regurgitate.

You should have several "Hides." at least 1 on the warm side, 1 on the cool side, and preferably another one in between. (You can't have too many hiding spaces, the more the better.)

Update!!!

Humidity 53%
Main tank area 28°C = 82°F
Heated hide 24°C = 77°F and slowly rising.

So far so good still hasn't regerged his meal and is in the heated hide so it's been almost 24 hours now since being fed.
