Yes! tobacco keeps me skinny too!

I mean really, smokes suppress my appetite, I don't see how e-cigs could suppress it more. Unless its only the nicotine that causes loss of appetite and e-cigs are delivering more nic.

Everyone seems to say they drop weight when smoking e cigs after they quit smokes.

I would think you gain weight....because even burger king tastes good! Mmmmmm Mc donalds....processed meat products with insect wings mixed in (I mean those flys are all around the meat in their processing plant, a lot die in there....)

The only common side effect in lab tests of monkeys inhaling PG vapor for months was ... weight gain!

I was gaining a pound a month until I forced myself to eat fewer calories each day. Now I'm more or less stabilized -- but heavier than when I quit cigarettes and took up e-cigs. These are NOT diet aids.

TB you look skinny to me.

Does VG also cause weight gain?

To my knowledge, VG has never been tested as an inhalation chemical over a period of months, as PG has been. So I have no idea whether it might cause some weight gain.

There are so many factors at play that it might be difficult to pinpoint the chemical as the cause. Food tastes better without foul cigarette smoke ruining taste, so we eat more. We sit at the table longer, not having to run outside for a cigarette, so we decide to eat a few more items to pass the time. Our metabolism slows down, so we burn fewer calories at rest. Many things conspire to cause a weight gain.

I am on the thin side, and always have been. I'm a believer in Dr. Roy Walford's low-calorie diet plan. For many months, I tracked every calorie I consumed, using a computer program, and now pretty much know when I'm overeating. But my 30-a-day cigarette habit no doubt kept me even thinner. Since I quit, I've gained about 20 pounds. I'm not worried .... yet.

Something I always wanted to ask but keep waiting for someone to speak of it. And also, not knowing if it has been addressed before is: Just what is the calorie content of the liquid/juice? I would guess that the sweeter ones have a higher calorie content. Guess, since now I am more curious, I will go on a search.

One thing is for sure, with all the new regulations (FDA) for food (mainly meat). It is not a good thing for us or vaping, that the juice/liquid bottles do not have an ingredient list and calorie count on them.

Seems to me that nutrients, including calories, are only effective when ingested, not when inhaled.

I last quit smoking 25 years ago. In four months, I gained 40+ pounds. Five weeks of vaping and my weight change is zero (0). I have a tendency to eat when bored. All the battery charging, juice mixing, atomizer cleaning, forum reading, product shopping, money spending and package tracking have been sufficiently distracting that I haven't been tempted to over-eat. ;)

Did it have Nico in it though? I think that would be what staves off the cravings..

As long as you dont drink the liquid, calories dont count. You dont gain weight by vaping icecream vapors. lol
Nicotine does boost your metab- fact. When you lower or quit using it, your metab lowers and can cause weight gain. Also, nicotine withdrawl can cause insomnia (so stop blaming the PV, its your nicotine levels lol) Guys tend to gain less weight than girls when we stop smoking. Of course, isnt that the way it always goes. lol
The OP was very strange..I dont even know how to reply to that...I gained 12 pounds when i quit smoking...food does taste better and Im sure my metab bottomed out....I have since lost a few pounds when i started using my PV...its only because I once again have my oral fixation and food isnt going into my mouth as much...

Well, I am eating less, drinking more water, ....../pooping more, moving around more and still gaining weight on the vg.

Its in my lowly opinion that we aren't getting as much nic as we think we are in our vapor. I went thru nicotine withdrawals even on Med nic when I started. Lower nicotine = lower metabolism. Some people report losing weight, some gain. Its just not going to be consistant unless we are all clones of one another.
