Hello all, I am new at vaping, just started about a week ago I like it. I am overweight (obese actually) and got a real crazy idea last week (Aug 3) when I was visiting Tulsa, OK to see my sisters and their families. most of them either smoke or vape, I however, have never smoked. I have wanted to try vaping just for the fun of it, and my sister thought I was crazy, said I had no reason to. (Do you really need a reason ?) well I told her it might help me loose weight, by giving my mouth something else to do other than eat. finally she said...ok give me some gas money and Ill take you to the smoke shop...the rest is history..spent about $40 on supplies and am doing ok. I might be allergic to the PG (read it is in cosmetics and I am allergic to them) got a big rash on my upper chest and neck. other than that I really like it.
Vaping to loose weight...crazy?

that's great encouragement. Just what I needed. Thanks. I would feel so much better even if I just lost 25lbs. I like the fact that there are so many flavors. some so crazy.. I have Alien's blood and alien's venom ( more like blueberry muffins according to a friend)...
I don't see why not, folks say all the time they smoke to keep from eating............ *MY* two cents would be do NOT get any nicotine........... just the -0-nic & whatever flavors you like.
I put on some weight when I started vaping but it's because I quit smoking.
That "I want to eat so I vape" doesn't work with me
And i'm not drinking much water anymore, I switched to 100%VG. My body does not like PG.

A friend and I were talking to a staff member helping us at a B&M this weekend. She said there are quite a few folks who have never smoked who will try vaping to avoid food cravings and her mom was one of them. I think she said her mom lost about 80 pounds if I'm remembering correctly.

I'm actualy vaping to get fat I have trouble getting fat because i smoke a lot. I started vaping to quit smoke and help me to get some healthy habits
I have trouble getting fat because i smoke a lot. I started vaping to quit smoke and help me to get some healthy habits I've lost 25 lbs since I started vaping seven months ago. I can't attribute the weight loss to vaping alone but since my lungs felt better and seemed to gain endurance after putting down the cigars, my wife and I started exercising daily. I had always put off starting any exercise program until I quit smoking cigars because I got out of breath easily. So, for me, vaping played a huge role in my health because it replaced something that was unhealthy for me (cigars). If you've never smoked, I'm not sure how effective vaping can be to facilitate weight loss by itself unless, keeping hands/mouth bust etc. as you mentioned works for you.
Does nicotine suppress appetite? I didn't notice a nic level mentioned in your post but if you do use ejuice with nicotine, I would question whether or not picking up a nicotine addiction is a good trade off.

Hi, You are not crazy but you need to identify your weak spot. Vaping can in many instances help people lose wt but only if it's done consistantly and completely satisfies the cravings for food. You named some juices you like and that leads me to belive your weakness is rich pastry type foods so find the richest decadent pastry flavors you can. Good examples are Vanilla Cupcake, Cinnamon Danish, Caramel Custard, Birthday Cake, Red Velvet Cake, Pear cobbler, Apple Pie Alamode. these will help you overcome the worst of your cravings. Be sure to get 0 nicotine juices,it wouldn't do to break one addiction just to start another Then sorry to say find a friend to take long Vaping walks with and maybe make a few new friends by joining the local YMCA. Go swimming, take an easy beginners no load excercise class and slowly increase time away from temptation at home. It will not be quick loss but if you stick with it in a few months you will notice a big difference and you just might love the journey. Keep on Vaping on

Good luck! My oh gets a sweet tooth at night, and instead of his 43 year old self chowing half a package (box!) of zebra cakes (I studied exercise & wellness @ university...go figure), he's been enjoying 0mg krankberry. Only been a week, so we'll see how it works. Remember, if it works for you that's all that matters, crazy or not. Let us know how it goes!
Welcome songbird. The weight is worse than a nicotine addiction health wise so vape away. Best if you use 0mg nicotine level though. Watch your blood pressure if you are using nicotine especially that you're over weight. Just be aware nicotine addiction is a life long craving whether from smokes or vape.
See if you can find a local vape shop to mix you a 100% VG liquid like mine will.

My daughter (age 22) has never smoked but started vaping about six months ago to help keep her hands busy so she wouldn't bite her nails. She said it's also helping to keep her weight down, although she has very healthy eating habits. She's vaping 6mg nic. Another reason to vape!
