Can't say I noticed one way or the other, but I personally put on weight after I stopped smoking.
Since quitting smoking, I've gone from being anorexic to needing to wash myself with a rag on a stick.
It's not the vape that affect the bmi, I'm 72kg but I'm carefully in what I eat my coffee does not have sugar, after my work I take a nap and then go to my mma dojo, I'm from Greece and believe me I can't remember how gyro's taste, what affect bmi for me, is the easy but junk food from fast foods, sugar in coffee, and all that snacks that only gives you but nutritions.
Well, pinkeye doc caught the clubbed fingers. He was like, "Do you know what's up with your hands, there?" I was like, "Oh yeah, that's a fine motor tremor" and he was like, "No the ends of your fingers."
I was like, "Um yes, I have been told what that is, that is a sign of a FEROCIOUS smoker, and poor circulation to ones extremities, and I quit about 3 years ago because I was smoking 3ppd and like, I had pneumonia for 18 months straight, and well, they were gonna dx me with COPD so I quit. Totally know what those are and well, my lungs may never be what they were but I do yoga for an hour and a half every day. You're too late. Oh, ALSO I almost got diagnosed with Laryngeal cancer, too. It all sucked. I have scars on my lungs but my last doc checked them they are scars not tumors."
He looked disappointed in my answer actually
But I CAN LEGITIMATELY SAY that smoking made the ends of my fingers FAT.
Oh SMOKING. You know how I feel about FAT.

I was already over weight when I began vaping. I feel better so I'm less over weight now...never-the-less I'm still over weight.
Aw, you ruined his fun. The poor guy was just dying to tell you you might have emphysema. You spoilsport.Well, pinkeye doc caught the clubbed fingers.

I speak for nobody but myself, but when I quit cigs I actually started exercising for the first time ever. All of a sudden you don't gassed after a little exertion.
It's become it's own addiction. I even sneak off to go for walks when I go out to vape. This regained lung capacity is terrible!
Damn you vaping!! Damn you to fitness hell!!

I declare this bait thread a resounding success!
If true, it must be because we're gourmands. See the gluttony on display in General E-Liquid Discussion!

Let's see..
I vape.
I lost 9 lbs in the last month, and 7 pounds the month prior.. that's 16 pounds in a day or two less than 8 weeks.
I'm thinking of doing that whole betting how much weight your going to lose so I can make a few bucks off this.. lol
The problem with the weight loss I'm experiencing isn't that I went back to smoking or anything.. I definitely still vape, the issue at hand which has caused me to lose 2 pounds a week is that I'M EATING LESS FOOD...
Funny how that works - consuming fewer calories than it takes to run your body causes weight loss, and consuming more calories than it takes to run your body causes weight gain..
I'm sure there is all manner of books and articles on this topic, with exactly this information in them! What none of those articles do is mention either smoking or vaping - probably for good reason.
As a beside, I only know 1 fat vaper and that person was a fat smoker before they became a fat vaper.. Your ideas don't really match reality dude.

Classic! That gave me a good chuckle!
Vaping is a lifestyle change, and with that it could change how we consume food and or conduct other activities such as exercise. One could regain their taste buds, therefore eat healthier or even worse than what they did when smoking. Or one could find they have more energy than when they smoked therefore are more active. Or one could just be a couch potato waiting for their vape delivery oppose to getting off their ar$e to go buy a pack of cigs. The possibilities are endless
I have read there are approx. 4 calories per gram on average with e-liquid. Not sure how those calories are delivered once the juice becomes vaporized (nor do I really care), but if there is any fact to this, you are probably burning more calories just with the action of vaping than you are consuming them.
What a loaded question.. lol..
It's the beginning of swim season and I shaved my whoha so now I have some serious razor burn so I'm waiting for that to heal before I hit the pool (and definitely using a different razor next time, or figuring out how to cover that *** up and say forget it in my old age.. lol)
But I did manage to get a swimsuit that fits after I returned the first one.. that was a fiasco..
So how do I see me? My God I'm just hoping to get out the door today without looking in the mirror even once..
Hahaha
I've gained 9kg since I started vaping 18months ago.
I was 69kg when I started vaping. Body was breaking down. I was sick.
Now 77-78kg and healthy af.
Platlete levels are back to normal and my liver function tests all came back good, spot on where they should be.
I'll take another 2kg if I can keep them on.

Where?
Where exactly did you read this?
‘Cause it sounds like purest crap to me.
Propylene glycol - Wikipedia
PG is much more of an alcohol than a fat, though it’s really neither one.
Propylene glycol is used to clear colons for colonoscopys because it just runs right through you. It’s barely digested at all. It DOES in some ways behave like a fatty substance in that it is viscous, which is why it is used as a food additive when they want something to behave like it’s fatty but not actually BE fatty. It’s not completely without calories. It IS metabolized. The net energy gain is not high though. Also the amounts used are very low.
The problem with this whole thread is the title “why does... “. It preassumes that something is true based on basically nothing. There is no “why does”.
I don’t remember exactly where I read it, somewhere on the Internet, I guess, which may be why it sounds like purest crap. I see a lot of that on the Internet. I remember reading about fatty acids, food grade anti-freeze, and making cosmetics with it, which, come to think of it may be why it took me so long to try vaping. I was thinking I have heart problems, I’m on high cholesterol meds, all I need is to start inhaling fats into my lungs, getting into my blood, getting into my arteries. I already have two stints in my LAD. Wow. Vaping was a big jump for me. But I had to do something. I can’t smoke anymore, and I couldn’t quit until that first e-cig. It was like hope realized. And to be honest, I’m not really taking this thread very seriously. “Why are most of the people who vape a bit overweight” just sounds like a joke waiting to be told. I made a joke about sucking donuts then later I watched a review by MikeVapes who was puffin Boston Cream juice. Honestly, I’m LMAO!!!!
I can relate to that. But it seems the waiting between them is getting longer and longer though.
