A friend of mine uses e cigs to help curb her weight. She uses it after meals to stay away from the sweet stuff, and the rest of the day for snacking in general.
Its not as good as taking a daily walk, but it does help live with a healthier diet.
Personally, I've gained weight since I started vaping. Probably the quitting smoking aspect of it.

I maintained my weight for a couple of months after I started vaping which surprised me. I've always gained when I quit smoking in the past. Then I got sick with a terrible sore throat and vaping made me cough like crazy so I started eating more instead and have gained a few. Now that I'm over it, I'm hoping to get to the gym and lay off the snacks so I can lose a few.

Since I've been vaping, I have definitely curbed the appetite with using dessert vapes and fruity vapes to keep it tasty and I have a lot of clearomizers full of different liquids to fill any craving I have. So with that I have lost some weight but nothing drastic just maybe 5 pounds or 7, but I'm not heavy to begin with.

Vaping doesn't curb my appetite and make me lose weight like stinkies used to do, but I'm also not gaining like I was when I quit cold turkey.

^^This. I've quit smoking in the past from anywhere from a few weeks to about a year at a time. Gained plenty of weight those times. Now with vaping, I do find that I can curb the snacking urges with a few puffs, but I can TASTE again, so my meal portions are a little heartier than I'd like. But two weeks in, no weight gain. That's still a win in my book.

My brother (lucky him), has actually lost about 30 pounds since switching to vaping (about 5 months now for him). It's a total lifestyle "kick in the ...." that snowballed into other healthier choices in his life (less booze, less junk/fast food, more active) I think that has helped him. Hopefully, I can eventually be motivated in a similar fashion. Baby steps to a healthier life!

I think I may have gained some weight at the beginning, but that was around this time last year. Holidays are horrible for my figure, haha. Since then I've lost weight because I take the stairs at school instead of the elevator, and park farther away. All because I can breathe again. I also vape sweeter juices and it curbs my craving for junk foods.

smoking analogs suppresses your appetite. i though it was the nicotine doing but having switched to ecigs i noticed its not the same. But having flavors in things you crave (red licorice) for me getting the flavor suppressed my want for it but not the hunger. so vape what you want to taste and eat all that gross healthy stuff. lol

So, where can I find HotPockets flavored e-liquid, LOL! Seriously though, I have a weakness for fancy, frou frou coffee drinks (with like 15,347 calories in them), and having caramelly, vanilla, hazelnut etc. flavors on tap to vape definitely helps. I can drink a straight black coffee or decaf (0 calories!! And much cheaper) and puff my desired flavors. Awesome!
