Another here in the gain column when I quit I was about 157 lbs. and I am closing in on 172 lbs. now. Upside is I am now able to breathe well enough to work out and counteract it a little, if I could get motivated to that is. 
Another tally for the gain department. I've been vaping a year now and have put on over 20lbs. I actually have started going to the gym trying to get some of it back off again. If I can't, at least I'm with Reign, I can breathe better.

You're actually 100% statistically average there. e.g."On average, people who quit smoking gain about 10 pounds, according to Trina Ita, Quitline counseling supervisor for the American Cancer Society."
When you quit smoking, you can taste better, so you often eat more. Depending on how much you like cookies, that could be a lot more. You're also transitioning from one harmful addiction to a less harmful one, and while you get the nicotine there are things you aren't getting for awhile, and it can make you crave other things (weirdly, the science says we seek out carbohydrates). And while nicotine is an appetite suppressant and boosts metabolism, you often end up getting much less nicotine when vaping than you did when you were smoking. There are other things too, but you get the drift.
This generally evens out after awhile as your body finds its equilibrium. On the bright side, the stat I have in my notes is that you'd need to put on 100lbs to begin diminishing the effects on your health that switching to vaping gives you.

I am in the gain column, I lost weight at first. The harsh reality is one needs to stop shoving so much food in the cake hole
Now I feel bad about the Chop House Cheddar burger I had for breakfast.

Pie hole! Everyone knows:
Pie > Cake.
I've gained 10 lbs. I think it would have been more if it weren't for vaping. When I crave food I shove the Kanger tank in my mouth.
:::sighs::: I guess I'll have to quit using the treadmill as a clothes closet...
I actually lost 32 lbs when I started vaping but I am sure it was because I was feeling so much better and started walking. I am sure because a year later and I quit walking. . . I found most of it.
I haven't lost or gained any weight, but it's only been about two weeks since I started vaping and I haven't really changed any
eating habits or anything, but I do know I feel great and have more energy now.

egads, I never thought about weight gain, I was already gaining as haven't been to the gym in awhile. Better get back there soon. I don't find I'm eating more but that carb thing may be true. I don't usually eat sandwiches, or bread and I've had several sandwiches since vaping.
drink plenty of water vaping dehydrates you . 5lbs of it is probably water weight. I gained a little weight when I first started vaping but I blamed that on being aggravated due to the transition from smoking to vaping. I started with egos and cigalikes and never got the satisfaction from them like I did a cigarette.
Things have since gone back to normal and I've lost a few more lbs because I drink more water than I ever have. I feel so much better and I stay a lot more active. I can actually catch my kids when I chase them.

I gained 10 when I first started vaping. I think it was all the payday candy bars. Vaped 6mg for three years and my weight stayed the same. Went to 0mg gained another 12 for a total of 22 pounds. Quit drinking sodas and eating carbs and started working out lost 15. Didn't go back to my smoking weight but close. I like to think the extra weight is muscle from the working out.
