I gained a few lbs in the beginning , but that was mostly because I had this new sensation of taste, now so I have actually lost weight cuz some of the flavors cure my cravings for food 
The toxins in cigarettes cause your body to waste nutrients, so even if you switch to vaping, if you don't change the way you eat you will gain some weight because you aren't getting all the crapola that comes with analogs.
I gained a few pounds the first month but since have lost twice as much because I can breath so well it makes excersise fun for the first time in my life.
Oh good to know!!
My one friend said she lost weight as well. My other friends said they did not gain or lose.
I really worry about that and it is a huge reason I have never tried to quit analogs. My kit will be here tomorrow!! I am excited!

Good for you! I understand the weight thing. My last quit prior to e cigs I gained 35 pounds It was a disaster. Now I can breath and excersise Im down to my teen weight. Woo Hoo!
Just remember not to put too much pressure on yourself. Were all different, listen to your body and drink lots of water. Good luck!

I have only been vaping for a week so I can only give you my experience based on that, BUT I have lost two pounds. I think it is like most of what you will read on this forum: it depends on the individual. I know a lot of what I have read from those who have been on here for awhile states that they found flavors problematic at first because after vaping a flavor like a dessert flavor, for example, they wanted a cigarette because it was like eating. For me, vaping flavors is like a treat, so I don't want to eat something sweet after vaping a sweet flavor and don't want to smoke an analog either. I feel really lucky in this regard. For the most part, nicotine is a stimulant (even though it can CALM your nerves). Most people who quit nicotine altogether will gain 10-15 pounds without changing their eating habits just because of the loss of that stimulant which helps burn calories. Unless you are giving up nicotine, it would make sense that weight gain would be at a minimum but I think you are going to have to play with flavors and find ones that make you feel satified...both from your analogs AND from snacks.
I can say that after just one week, I feel SOOO much better and also tend to be more active, which I am sure doesn't hurt. The fact that I don't feel guilty vaping while taking a walk when I would have felt like I was being counter-productive if I smoked while doing the same activity doesn't hurt either.
Hope this info helps a little. Keep vaping, play with flavors and I'm sure that whatever you are experiencing will level out. =D

I've gained 15 lbs since I started PV's. No one has said anything to me directly, but they've said it with their eyes.
Nicotine suppresses the appetite... people probably gain weight on vaping just from better taste. And it's not like quitting nicotine when you eat sugar for the hormanal release. Nicotine does affect the body's basal metabolic rate which helps burn calories but people really gain weight when they quit smoking from eating, not metabolic effects.
I lost 10 pounds in 3 months. Not really on purpose, just kinda happened because I stopped craving the sweet flavors I've been vaping instead.
I have only been doing this for a few days and you all have made me feel so much better. I was definitely concerned about getting fatter!
I have to admit that I am not a big fan of sweets. I do like fruit. I am also looking forward to trying the coffee flavors.
As for the weight I am hoping to not gain any. That would probably send me back to analogs. It is a touchy issue for me.
But I am encouraged that better lung function will make exercise easier.
