Does vaping cause weight gain?

Hey! I'm new here, but I wanted to comment as I've had your same exact observation in the past about vaping. Actually, the fact that you gain weight is actually to be expected considering that VG while being sugar free, will actually cause you to have a spike in insulin due to the carbohydrates. VG is "sugar free", but carbs in it and in high enough quantity (VG has 5 grams per teaspoon which is considerable because of how much of that goes into our blood stream through the lungs) will most definitely affect blood sugar. This in turn causes insulin to go to work and the insulin then clears the complex carbs out of your blood and stores it as fat. By giving yourself a steady stream of carbs, your body will not burn fat because it's too busy trying to normalize blood sugar.
