You're not the only one. vaping makes me hungry too. I'm one of those annoying "naturally skinny" guys. I eat whenever I feel like it and never gain weight. I'm in my 30s and have 6-pack abs without trying. I can easily go all day without eating.

Everybody says nicotine is an appetite suppressant, but it has the opposite effect on me. My theory is that most of the time I'm too lazy to eat, and the nicotine counteracts that. But I only vape occasionally so I don't think it will have any noticeable effect on my weight.
 
Vaping gets you your nicotine; smoking gets you nicotine and a few other addictive substances (there are good threads about it here - you can probably find them by searching for "alkaloids").

So, although you've got a source of nicotine, you're still going through withdrawals from the other chemicals in tobacco.

Many people will, when in withdrawals, replace the missing substance(s) with something else. Food (sometimes just sugar) is very common.

I've watched a close friend go through this over and over. I always know when he's "quitting" drinking (it isn't really quitting if you "quit" monthly) because he leaves a trail of candy wrappers everywhere he goes.

Don't confuse the effects of quitting smoking with your journey into vaping.

You will still experience withdrawals from the toxic chemicals from cigarettes that you are no longer receiving.

Welcome to ECF.

This is very much true. I found it a lot more tolerable with vaping than other quit methods though (I think this is true for most of us), and no noticeable symptoms at all after about a week in. (about 7 weeks ago now) Now I don't miss the stinkies at all.

im vaping 18mg and im vaping A LOT. and it seems to be doing the opposite of suppressing my appetite. It's like the stimulant part of it is turning me into a BEAST with a super high metabolism

Hey Warzoid, not sure, but my better half, after dropping the analogs and vaping wants to do diet pills, cause she feels the need to eat more. She is doing 12 mg nic. Me, I an still at 18 /24 and just want to nibble, and vape. 8-o
 
been vaping for 4 days and pretty much quit smoking for same time (i finished my pack of cigarettes the first day tho).
and I am soooooooooo HUNGRY all the time now.
Is this normal?

Dude, are you sure you bought the right kind of fluid?:vapor::evil::2cool:

Just kidding.

I get the munchies too. I think its the body missing all the other chemicals (analogues have a lot of them), and the changes in hand ritual that produces the feeling in me. I expect it to wear off soon.
