I wanted to bring up and discuss a side-effect that I've noticed in myself since I started vaping, just over three weeks ago.
Background: I was a lightweight smoker, doing no more than half a pack of Camel Lights a day (closer to a pack a week at the end). I am also lightweight in general; at 5'10" and 125-130 lbs with a very high metabolism. I can eat literally as much of anything that I want and frequently do so. I also drink prodigious amounts of coffee and sometimes water.
Once I started vaping I did start drinking a lot more water, since my wife insisted that I should be doing so anyways. My knees have been rather sore lately but they're in horrid shape anyways, so I'm not sure if that has to do with the PG metabolism or not. But...I've found that I now have a gnawing, dull ache in my stomach all the time. Not something I've really had before (except years ago when I suffered from depression and would sit in bed and hardly eat anything for weeks at a time). I feel like I'm always hungry! And I snack all the time. I'll eat half a pizza...a bag of Doritos...half a loaf of bread with a jar of peanut butter...an apple...a banana...while vaping between eating...and the hungry never really subsides. Now, it's not so bad since I really should gain some weight anyways, but this seems a bit odd to me (and it doesn't seem like I actually have gained any).

I always drank a lot, usually juice, ginger ale (no alcohol, I don't have the head for it anymore) and love my coffee too. I ate a 'dinner' type evening meal before work then maybe a snack around halway thru shift; always something small. If I got really hungry I just smoked and it went away, and yes I was a small person too. Pretty light /underweight for my height, but not TOO skinny or anything.
