First I love vaping...it got my off a pack a day habit as soon as I started. But why am I getting the munchies so bad? Does this happen to anyone else? I'd never go back but definitely packed on a few pounds over the last few months!!!

LOL! We did too, but would rather have to work harder to drop a few extra pounds than having to fight cancer!
As far as I can tell this might be expected. I am no pro though. Someone will post up that knows more about this.
Congratulations on quitting the stinky habit!

Yeah I definitely agree on the cancer part...just trying to figure out why this happens or better yet how to combat...ie I threw away all chocolate in the house lol.
Yes, I have definitely gained a few pounds since I started to vape exclusively. But I can exercise without losing my breath in 5 min.
I'm not sure about getting the munchies, but I sure do get thirsty more often and see myself going to the bathroom due to drinking more fluids. Does anyone else feel that way?
Drying of the mouth / throat is extremely common for new vapers. The humectants (PG and VG) will do that. It tends to settle down after a while.
So yes, you will need to keep a drink handy - you don't need to guzzle it, just sip.

The only thing I could think of is maybe the cigarettes suppressed your appetite for awhile, then quitting and switching has allowed your appetite to return to normal?
If you are getting less nicotine from vaping than you did from smoking, it’s possible that your appetite will be increased due to a small amount of nicotine withdraw. There are also other chemicals in cigarettes which your body is withdrawing from which could affect appetite. More than likely your appetite should be back to normal in a couple of weeks.
Just the opposite for me, I vape cinnamon and clove flavors and it really stops my appitite
I've been a vaper for 9 months now, no munchies for me, no weight gain or withdrawal symptoms at all.
I have to agree with the taste and smell coming back. Food tastes so much different to me now. Some better some worse. All I know is that I can actually go for a walk now and not feel like I'm going to pass out the first ten minutes. What a trade off! I can enjoy food and also exercise to burn it off! Ain't life grand!
I've been told that after quitting smoking your taste buds begin to revive and your sense of taste becomes sharpened again 
therefore making flavors more flavorful and enjoyable. Seems logical that if eating is more enjoyable then eating would also be more frequent.

Vaping things like crème brûlée, fudge brownie and apple pie, I've found that I snack less. For me, it seems to curb my appetite for snacking a bit.

I had the same issue, but joining to gym today in fact
Its a very common thing to pick up a couple of pounds after quitting, the most important thing is to take note of it and change your lifestyle accordingly. Don't do crash diets and don't starve yourself! Seeing that you took the leap to quit smoking, maybe now is the time to bump up the excersize too!
