Hey gang... started vaping about a month ago and it is so much nice than real smoking. Anyway, I seem to get extremely hungry in the morning when vaping, even if I ate a good size breakfast. Now analog cigs curbed my appetite, but this vaping stuff seems to make me very hungry.... anyone else experience this sensation?

I've had the opposite reaction - vaping makes me lose my appetite. That's been a problem for me, because I was already about as skinny as I wanted to be (nearly 50 years old and wearing 28" waist pants at 5'9") after a year of dieting. I've had to consciously think about eating and force myself to eat.

I just started vaping less then 1 week and I noticed that too. I'm always so hungry in the morning. I use to just eat a bowl of cereal then off to work in the morning. Now i can't, by the time i get to work i'm hungry again. Then as the day go by, i'm ok. Like I won't be hungry after I eat dinner. It's always that breakfast - lunch time.
