How about lack of libido? I have no shame admitting it that since I've been vaping it's decreased a bit. I found it obvious due to the timing of when I started vaping. There have been studies that have found evidence that nicotine affected males but had no idea it might affect women as well. Then again, maybe it's not the nicotine in the liquid and perhaps something else. Any input or similar experiences?

I haven't noticed anything else health-wise pertaining to female stuff so far.

Maybe it has to do with Lactic acid making you tired? I know my muscles are sore and I get tired sometimes easy....maybe have some afternoon delight

MaryKay, this thread and referenced articles might be of value to you: Advanced glycation end product (Smo is the most informed, but he's a guy, so you'd need to message him with questions)

Ok, I went through the change, was almost done with 7 yrs of misery, when after knocking-down my intake of analogs to vape, I started getting the hot flashes back and a lot of them, and strong ones that steam up my glasses again.... Ugh!!! (I don't believe them to be from the vaing, but from either lowering the dose of nicotine or from some compound in tobacco which reduces the amount & intensity of them.

I am a no carb kind of girl and I was afraid that vaping would kick me out of ketosis, but hasn't effected it at all, so I am sooooo happy!
as far as libido......huge INCREASE and I'm guessing it is due to lack of tar and smoke inhalation. Better stamina.
Woot Woot!

Are you sure we're both vaping the same substances? Just kidding

I started going to the gym again so I'm always full of energy (so its counter-attacking if anything, any "tired" symptoms that may be coming from the liquid).

Perhaps, I still have some withdrawel symptoms and it might subconsiously be stressing me out. I will be looking into this more.

I'm Zero Carb, too. Amazing the difference in how you feel, isn't it?

MonkeyMonk, Thank You! A lot of that stuff I already knew..about Age's and meats. But it never occured to me that e-cigs could also be a contributer. Glad they shot that down.
I am sore so I think maybe walking and lite weights are in order. I love to walk but hate to do weights. Maybe all I need to do it work the soreness out. I am a great believer in pro-active medicine.
Maybe circulation is begining to come back!

How about weight? I've seen some posts "outside" regarding weight...some say they've lost, some say they've gained and some say no change. From a purely female perspective, how is the weight going?

Unfortunately, I've picked the worst time to quit, I've gained 5 pounds in a month. That was due to stress I think. But once I've put it on, it's very hard to take it off. I just got a Wii Fit, an exercise mat, a heart rate monitor/pedometer (wearing it at work today to see how many calories I burn sitting here reading and typing instead of actually working...lol) and I'm hungry!!!
