I know normally when someone quits smoking they tend to gain weight... I was wondering if anyone has gained/lost weight while making the switch to vaping.
Weight Issues with switching?

I'm interested in answers to this too. When I quit cigarettes I gained 60 pounds. I have managed to lose 25, but hope that vaping will help me lose that and more.
I was thinking the reason people usually gain weight is because they "bored" eat. In theory, this wouldn't happen with vaping, because you have something to do with your hands. Just wondering if this was true 
My wife vapes all sorts of flavors that I make for her(Nicotine free of course). She vapes instead of eating. Kind of funny since she's never smoked! She's lost over 60 pounds, but certainly due to exercise; not vaping. Vaping just keeps her away from the sweets

I haven't gained any weight since switching to vaping. As a matter of fact, in the evening when my sweet tooth kicks in, I'll often grab a sweet flavor to vape instead and pass on the food.
This is great news! I ordered some of my favorite food craving flavors to try, but I was worried it would make me hungry. I haven't got those in yet, but if there is a chance it will keep me away from sweets, that's just wonderful!
When I first began vaping I gained 10 lbs. Within a few months, because my lung capacity had improved, I found myself getting actively involved again in the sports I once loved. I am now at a perfect weight but, more importantly, am far more conscious of my health and am able to do something about it. Vaping, for me, has gone far beyond quitting analogs and has truly given me a new outlook on life and the activities I choose to do. Go to the store...much prefer to walk...elderly neighbor can't walk the dog, I'm more than happy to oblige. My advice to anyone wishing to lose weight/ exercise is to find something you truly enjoy doing...exercise, like vaping, should be enjoyable and something we look forward to.
I lost five pounds. Then gained it over winter again, but that's fairly normal. By July I'll be a stick again.
So far my observation among all vapers I know is that your weight stays stable or only changes a little.

I quit smoking cold turkey for 12 months about 10 years ago and gained 10kgs. It was really distressing as I was somewhat overweight to begin with and the extra 10kgs had sent me in to "obese" territory. I remember I ate a lot of sweets to deal with cravings so that was a large part of the problem.
Now I have been vaping for 9 months and my weight has remained unchanged. By vaping lots of sweet flavours I find I am wanting to cut back on sugar from other sources e.g. I now drink tea with no sugar. So if you have a sweet tooth I recommend plenty of sweet juices and the cravings for sugar will subside.

I have lost a bit of weight since I started vaping. I am impressed the Irish cream with chocolate flavor has zero calories because it tastes like it should. It is better than dessert… hence the weight loss.
I haven't noticed a difference (I refuse to use a scale!) but my husband lost 6 pounds in the last month so that's encouraging. I can say that the only flavor that made me crave the actual food was the waffle flavor from The Vapor Room, it just smelled so good we had to make waffles that morning!
Been vaping for a little over three months, and no weight gain so far.
And Joelle, I totally understand the waffles thing. A local shop makes a pizza flavored juice, and all the people I had talked to said it tasted like those torino pizza snacks. I know if I had that juice I would crave those pizza snacks lol

No weight gain. Just vape your desert. Mrs. T's Bakery and KickBassVapor are my favorite desert juice vendors
I gained over 20lbs. I think it was more from drinking lots more beer and being close to fast food places though. I quit smoking shortly after moving into a place with roommates that party more. I've dropped about 15lbs of that since then.
I'm 265lbs+ so it's not that noticeable on me.

Yes, I´ve gained a lot of weight, but it actually started 3 months ago when I decided to lower my nic levels. I have 12 kilograms of overweight. I been vaping for practically 6 months, during the first 3 months my weight remain the same. Perhaps I lowered my nic levels to quickly because since then I been eating kind of compulsively. I went from 36 mg to mostly zero. But on the other hand right now I can walk for 3 hours steady without any fatigue, while 6 months ago a could only do it for 20 minutes.
