If I'm hungry and I vape food flavors, it makes my stomach growl mercilessly. But, yes, I am eating less since I started vaping and actually am losing weight through diet and exercise even though I don't smoke cigs anymore.

You know, one of the reasons I really was afraid to try to stop smoking cigs was because I knew I was going to gain weight and I mean a LOT of it.

I am not having any trouble with that at all with the vaping. What a relief that is!

I've always had to struggle to avoid eating from boredom. Since starting to vape less than a month ago, I notice I'm snacking less often. Anyone else?

My persoanl opinion....this has a lot to do with the "hand to mouth" habit of smoking/vaping. As a smoker you will either grab another analog and smoke it, or if you recently finished one, or are worried about cost, you grab for a snack to fulfill that habit.

Now however, you still have the "hand to mouth" habit but you grab your e-cig and it is less of a worry to do so because it costs less, is not as bad for your health, or you might have a lower nic concentration or even a 0 nic to choose from.

As I mentioned in another post, even though I am switching to a 2-piece for ease of use (I despise filling) I will still be keeping my old 901 and 510 for use at the computer where I am guilty of the obsessive "hand to mouth" habit. Due to monetary reasons I can't afford to order 0 nic cartos for between times of nic cartos. A huge bottle of VG and a couple bottles of loranns are cheap however and since I won't be doing it as often the filling may not bug me as much as it does now.

Keep in mind I have not yet received my first order and therefore have never tried to re-fill a carto and therefore don't know if it's easier, harder, more of/less of a pain in the ... then refilling a 3 piece cart. If it turns out to be a lot easier and quicker with a VK carto I may start refilling.....dunno yet.

lol I'll say.
For me, I wouldn't want to go outside to smoke (or couldn't because of son) all the time, so I'd nibble on cookies or what have. you.

Now, I can grab for a clove, cherry, red bull, or any other flavour really and replace the menthol when I'm looking for a quick food-fix.
I have to say too, I've consumed less chocolate products around certain times of the month. Especially this past with ice cream sundae, and peanut butter cup <3

Thank you so much for that :p

illandreth, I have neuropathy in my hands/fingers, I have no trouble refilling.
My hands aren't the problem, my brain is. No matter what I try I always either overfill or underfill. When putting in new batting I can never get the right amount in and I waste more pyramid tea bags than you can imagine trying to use that as a filler instead of polyfill.

I love the idea of just a disposable cart, I also LOVE the idea of having a fresh atomiser every time and not having to worry about flooding, burning it out, or having it just up and quit on me and having to wait for a replacement to arrive. With an atty every time, just swap carto and you have a new atty :D
