I know this is so sad, but I am worried about gaining weight when stopping the analogs. I have bought the pack - Jac vapour and they taste light a normal cigarette, it is the gaining of weight I cannot get my head around. Has anyone stopped the analogues and not gained any weight

It's the nicotine that suppresses appetite; keep the nic level up & you should see no change in that department. You might experience other symptoms as you cross over though, as your body detoxes... I had a sore throat for a week or so. Drink lots of water & good luck!
Nicotine, as i remember, forces your body to release glucose into the bloodstream and thus decreasing your appetite since you always feel like you just ate something sweet. Up the nic level by a notch to amplify the effect.
Also, the anxiety of changing a habit like smoking can lead to over-eating. It will pass soon as you make the transition. If necessary, still allow yourself to smoke, just less than before.

go ahead and take the jump. everyone is different. if you notice any weight gain, take action immediately to increase activity and decrease intake.....lots and lots of water which you will need to increase due to vapeing will also help decrease appetite. don't put it off due to fear of what may never happen to you. best of luck.
oh, also i read this morning where a diabetic lost 30 pounds by vapeing dessert flavors....so it cold also go that way for you.
Though there is a possibility of weight gain, i think gaining weight is certainly better than staying on with those analogs which gives u so much harmful chemicals. Any weight gain can be countered by exercising or dieting, but you cant get rid of those harmful substances from the analogs when they go into your body! Health is more impt!
Personally I've found I've stayed the same or maybe lost a little. I don't eat sweets as often....if I fell like something sweet just load it in my carto, also I drink less soft drinks and more water due to my liquids tasting better with water. Sweet ejuice and soft drinks = bad combo imo....YUCKKK
I think it all depends on the person. I've seen some who have, indeed, gianed weight. Others, have stayed the same and some have even lost weight. Weight gain/loss has so many other factors than smoking/vaping. There are just too many other variables to consider.
many years ago, during a failed attempt to quit analogs, i gained some significant weight. i was eating poorly and not exercising. this time around i was already into a disciplined exercise and diet routine, so no weight gain. as a matter of fact i continued to loose weight. i was 255lbs in fall of '11 and now i float around 175lbs.
I have actually been losing weight. Whether that's directly due to vaping, I dunno. I bicycle a lot and I've definitely noticed an increase in stamina. I've been riding farther and taking less time to get there. I think it's pretty much an individual thing, but to answer the question of whether you'll automatically gain weight when trading smoking for vaping, it's no.
My GP and Smoking cessation expert told me that after quitting smoking the body was repairing itself in a major way and would needs lots of water and nutrition. First 6 months I ate well and gained 10 lbs. I then realized I had the opportunity to be involved once again in the sports I once loved. Lost the 10 lbs and fat turned into muscle. GP says I'm now at a perfect weight.
Three times in my life when I "quit" smoking, I gained weight. When I started vaping about six months ago, I lost weight. In both cases, the weight change up or down was 30+ pounds. What I know now as a result of vaping is that when smoking I actually substited it for eating. Also, with vaping, my health is so much better that I'm way more active walking a mile a day and while smoking could barely make a block without feeling winded, weakened muscles and tired... not enough oxygen tends to do that.
