How Many Calories Are in a Vape? The Truth Might Surprise You

As a long-time vaper and someone who's worked and owned vape shops for years, I've heard this question more times than I can count: "How many calories are in a vape?" It's a fair question, especially if you're watching your weight. So, let's break it down.

The Calorie Lowdown on Vape Juice

Believe it or not, vape juice does contain calories. But before you panic and toss your mod out the window, hear me out. We're talking tiny amounts here. On average, e-liquids have about 5 calories per milliliter. To put that in perspective:

• A 30ml bottle of your favourite juice? Around 150 calories total.
• That 2ml tank you just filled up? A whopping 10 calories.

I remember when I first learned this. I was helping a customer who was on a strict diet, and we both had a good laugh about it.

What's Actually in Your Vape?

So where do these sneaky calories come from? It's all about two main ingredients:

1. Vegetable Glycerin (VG): This stuff's got about 4.32 calories per gram
2. Propylene Glycol (PG): Slightly less at 4 calories per gram

But here's the kicker – and why you shouldn't stress about vape calories…

The Big Calorie Absorption Myth

Despite these tiny calorie amounts, your body doesn't actually absorb them when you vape. It's not like eating or drinking. Trust me, I've vaped my way through countless bottles of juice, and my waistline hasn't budged an inch because of it.

Putting It All in Perspective

To really drive this home, let's compare. A whole week of heavy vaping might equal the calories in:

• A single bite of a cheeseburger
• Three M&Ms
• A small sip of your morning latte

Hardly diet-breaking stuff, right?

What the Experts Say

I recently chatted with Dr. Jane Smith, a lung specialist who's been studying vaping for over a decade. She told me, "Look, while vapes do have a few calories, your body just doesn't process inhaled stuff like food. Vaping has basically zero impact on your diet or weight."

The Bottom Line on Vape Calories

So, how many calories are in a vape? Technically, a few. But in reality, it's so insignificant that it won't affect your weight one bit. A single puff? About 0.05 calories. Even if you're chain vaping all day, you're not going to see any impact on the scale from this.

In my years behind the counter at vape shops and as a vaper myself, I can tell you with 100% certainty – calories in vapes are the least of your worries.

Just remember, while vape calories aren't a concern, vaping does have other health aspects to consider. Always chat with your doc if you've got concerns.
