Quit Smoking, Now Vaping/using e-cig

Hey everyone,

Does anyone else use an e-cig of some kind or vape and have any ideas about logging that? I'm sure there's added calories there that I'm not aware of, but I don't know if it's negligible or not. It's like inhaling sugar, though, no? So it should be logged, right?

Thanks!

    I don't vape, but this interested me enough to do a quick search on it. I wasn't able to find some definite answer, but I doubt you need to worry about logging this.

    Might be an issue if you're drinking your e-juice rather than inhaling/exhaling it - there are apparently 4-5 calories per ml. But since you're inhaling/exhaling it in vapor form, the current evidence (as far as I can find) is that calorie intake, if any, is negligible.

    Anecdotally, I've vaped throughout my weight loss and maintenance, and haven't seen any effect upon my weight from it.

    lolololol @ the "if you're drinking your e-juice" lololol. Fair point. Thank you for this! I appreciate it! I did research this like a long time ago but then stopped vaping and also stopped trying to lose weight, so I thought I'd ask just in cases. Thank you!

    i lost 100 pounds and am still losing, using an e cig.

    whatever MIGHT be in it, would be negligible

    I vape, sometimes I even chain vape if I’m working on a stressful report for work. It’s had no effect on my weight loss

    you're not eating it.
    or if you are, you're doing it wrong

    @mbaker566. I’m sorry but this made me laugh so hard...it reminds me of the Geico commercial where the elderly woman is trying to put actual pictures on Facebook :D:D:D

    I vape and was never a smoker. I have lost over 100 pounds. The sweetner in E-juice is not sugar. My son mixes and he has also lost a whole bunch of weight (I think over 60 pounds). I wouldn't worry about it.

    I’m vaping right now :) I didn’t smoke before but the medication that I am on makes me hungry. I vape 0mg. It gives me something to do instead of eat.

    that is so interesting, I've never met a vaper who wasn't a smoker before. And now I've spotted at least two on this thread.

    I've vaped for years, but now have vaped exclusively for over two, having stopped smoking. I am now down to the lowest nicotine percentage before dropping to zero. I think any impact is negligible calorific-ally. It certainly outweighs the potential "snacking" from quitting the real ciggies.

    @sytchequeen I enjoy the flavors and it takes the edge off when I’m hungry but can not eat. I love sweet flavors but peppermint helps when I nauseous
