I stopped smoking 9 years ago because of bronchitis or something every year. The last year was really bad. Plus it's too expensive. Picked up vaping and haven't had any lung issues since. I make my own liquid that's 2.5% nicotine so not sure if I'm even feeling it or if it's a placebo.

I don't think we fully know the long term effects since it's still relatively new. People can smoke cigarettes for decades before getting serious health problems/death.

2.5% is actually fairly high tbh. In many places it's close to or over the legal maximum (which tends to be between 2% and 3% in most places that *have* a legal maximum).

Even more so if you're using a relatively powerful device rather than a pod-style one. (It's uncommon to actually use % rather than mg/ml for those, but typical liquid for those ranges from 0.3% to 1.8%).
