"Do Vapes Contain Calories?", As vapes become more and more popular around the world, concerns about their ingredients and health effects are growing. Let’s find out more.
Do Vapes Contain Calories?
Yes, vapes do contain traces of calories, but the exact amount is very low. primarily from Vegetable Glycerin (VG) and flavorings, with VG providing about 4 calories per gram. However, since the e-liquid is vaporized and inhaled rather than ingested, the actual caloric intake is negligible.
How Many Calories Are in a Vape?
This depends on the volume of vape liquid and the ratio of ingredients.
A typical 2ml vape juice (50% VG) contains about 4 calories, but inhaling vapor results in minimal absorption—far too little to impact weight. It’s fewer calories than a piece of candy or coffee.
How Many Calories Are in a Disposable Vape?
Disposable vapes contain very small amounts of calories — usually between 5 and 20 calories total, depending mostly on the amount of vape liquid and its composition.
For example, a Fizzy 50,000 puffs disposable vape may contain about 15–20 calories in total. Even if you fully finish the vape, the calorie intake is roughly equal to that of a small slice of cucumber, which is nutritionally insignificant.
Does Vaping Cause Weight Gain?
Vaping itself doesn’t cause weight gain, but nicotine may suppress appetite, while quitting could increase hunger. Sweet flavors might also trigger sugar cravings in some users. Effects vary by individual.
Will Vaping Break My Fast?
This is an important concern for many Muslim users. During Islamic fasting (such as Ramadan), eating, drinking, or inhaling anything with energy is generally not permitted during daylight hours.
There is no unanimous consensus, but the prevailing scholarly opinions are:
Some Islamic scholars believe vaping breaks the fast because it provides flavor, sensation, and possibly small amounts of absorbable substances
Others believe that if no nutrients are ingested and it does not create satiety, vaping does not break the fast
- Recommendation: If you are fasting, consult your local religious authority or imam to make an informed decision.
Do Vapes Contain Sugar?
Most vapes don’t contain sugar, but may use sugar alcohols like VG or sorbitol for sweetness. These don’t significantly impact blood sugar or weight since they’re inhaled rather than digested. Nutritionally, vapes are effectively sugar-free.
