9 vaping questions answered!

[MaxPerilous]

I only have 10 more posts before I lose my ability to post new threads in the new member forums (I believe). I have to use on of them to make this post. But I thought it'd be cool if I could take these last 9 posts and try to answer some questions the the new users might have that are related to vaping. If I don't know the answers I will at least try to point you in the right direction for finding the information you seek.

I'm hoping I get the questions fairly quickly cause I do a lot of posting and tonight I happen to have a lot of time on my hands. So ask away there are no stupid questions only stupid people ( or.. something to that effect ).

Ok here goes, first post here.
Are you gonna gain weight when you switch to vaping ? Or are my kids being nice and saying my jeans shrunk in the wash?
Day 27 here no cigarettes, longest time without a cigarette ever.

Hey starr1349 first off welcome to ECF! Congrats on your choice to become a vaper!

To best answer your question I will take a quote from my mom. I recently got her into vaping and this was her comment...

"OOH! The flavors are so good I bet you I won't gain weight like the other times I tried to quit smoking cause I can pretty much get my sweet tooth fix just by the juice I Pick!"

Also in my exerience this holds to be true. I often find that I'm eating less sweets because I found juices that I totally enjoy the flavor of. Also nicotine has a way of curving your hunger. There has been scientific research into that if you want to look further into it.

So to bluntly answer your question no, I am of the opinion that you will not gain weight by using this method to quit smoking. In fact it may just be quite the oposite. You may lose weight because you might not have that craving to satisfy your sweet tooth!!

Good luck with vaping! I hope you kick the stinkies for good!! If you have any more questions feel free to ask. You will find that the community here is almost always happy to help and very supportive!

Happy Vaping!

P.S. I find that sometimes my jeans fit a bit tight after taking them out of the dryer and loosen up after a short time wearing them. I prefer to dry my clothes on the clothes line outside and usually they fit much better using this method. It's especially helpful with shirts!!

No.

Nicotine increases adrenaline, which increases liver production of glucose, which causes hyperglycemia. This is the same state that makes cigarettes an appetite suppressant.

Long story short, you're not going to gain wait til you get your nicotine down to 0mg or you quit vaping.

And if you'd like to see over 40 of your questions answered just click the link to the Vaper's Handbook in my signature and read up. In fact I'll add this very question.

I have fount that I have lost several pounds since starting to vape, only because I could often get through a half pack of biscuits after a meal, now I just have a vape for my "sweet fix"

 

[SissySpike]

probably not but its different from person to person. The only thing that insures not gaining weight is proper diet and exercise.

 

[MaxPerilous]

Well I couldn't help myself and posted in a couple other places lol. So my last 9 posts (pre 70) won't be just me answering questions. But all feel free to post any questions you have vaping related here and I will do my best to help you get them answered.

You do realize you can post in the New Members Forum after you reach so many posts, right? You just can't post new threads in here anymore.

Homework: explain the difference between variable voltage and variable wattage.

You can also find the answer in my blog.

Yes, I never recommend that newbies get in a hurry to get their post up count. New Members Forum is, by many times, where is the action's at. There is no faster way to get a question answered.

 

[MaxPerilous]

Yes, I just thought that it'd be cool if my "transition" (60-70 posts) would be to answer some questions but I wasn't patient enough to wait for them to come in lol. BUT at least I can still answer them regardless if I can make a new thread in the new members forums or not.

 

[MaxPerilous]

LOL

Not trying to simply get my "post up count". I was honestly and sincerely trying to contribute to the community. I do know the difference between variable voltage and variable wattage.

Homework... Try not to hijack peoples threads that were intended to help new members with new member questions.

Off topic (sort of) but just a note of thanks for the vaper's handbook. You've clearly worked yourself almost to death producing it, and as someone new to the hobby I have to say how useful (and well written) it is. Many thanks - appreciated.

 

[MaxPerilous]

Not really off topic. I'm glad ShogaNinja posted and I'm glad you read it. When people see that you read it and enjoyed it they will be more likely to read it themselves. This community really is great.

[malexsky]

Since its hard to get ejuice or get nicotine liquid anywhere, is it possible to soak real tabacco in glycerin and vape it?? Heard that its possible to soak tabacco in alcohol or water and dry the water up to get the nic..

 

[MaxPerilous]

Helo malexsky. I don't have a whole lot of experience with making my own juices as I tend to just order them up online. There are amny places to get juices and one of my favorites is Welcome to www.beeliquid.com - Handcrafted e-liquid.

To best answer your question I found this thread Extracting flavors naturally on another forum .

Here also is a link of just one of the searches I've pulled up on this site Search Results - E-Cigarette Forum.

Hope this helps you and you can succeed in making your favorite tobacco flavors!!

Happy Vaping!!

All those pounds y'all have lost well I'm afraid I have found them.

ya i agree with you bigtime. i didnt even know the rule existed and i made 70 posts in two days and then i was still a complete newb that was unable to start newb threads.

 

[wonderland]

I'm still a noob even though I can't start new threads here anymore. oops! too many contest entries
here's my question:
why does vaping give me mild heartburn? I've never been prone to heartburn except during my pregnancy (mercy! that was horrible) but every night now I'm slugging back a few Tums before bed.
