I'm not overly swayed by percentages. Some of it depends on the individuals physiology, too. I subscribe to THR (Tobacco Harm Reduction). Vaping is better than smoking. My experience says quite a bit better. I switched and am going to continue vaping.
Just another note; I smoked when I was stressed. I am at 3mg e-juice, I will probably stay there. After all, my MIL does visit...

The only bad thing I can think of Is some food flavoring might have bad chemicals in them.
I'm vaping around 50 ml a day for last 3 years 0 nicotine 95%VG. If vaping was bad I would probably know about it by now 
Vaping is great and what ever future test will show it will never be even close to what cigarettes do to you and your wallet!

Because, you are special!!!!
My happy place is 3mg right now, I don't see that changing anytime in the near future!
Then stick to 12 mg or increase to 16-18 mg until you stopped with those two cigarettes a day. If you haven't quit smoking, then it's not the time to reduce nicotine. Just my two cents for you.
Quit the cigs first. The vape, nic-wise, should replace your ni urges. Get confidence that you are covered and the consider lowering...or raising. Cover your needs.
And that is a shame, because the newbies need more to quit smoking. For a smoker, it will feel strange to lung inhale with a RDA or a sub ohm tank.
This might help to ease any concerns you may have: E-cigarettes around 95% less harmful than tobacco estimates landmark review - Press releases - GOV.UK
My doctor actually suggested it because of the amount of patients he has that quit smoking by vaping.
Inhaling anything besides oxygen is inherantly not ideal, but it is what it is. Also 'typical' nic levels vary based on ohms. I tried 12mg at first cause i smoked a pack or more of Camels a day for 13 years and it was too harsh, but I didn't realize that with a subtank, nic needs to be lower. That may have a lot to do with vendors carrying lower nic liquids.

I used to vape 36. Talk about a nic fix.
that was back in the day, though before we had all these high end dohickys, sub ohm tanks and high sausage devices. I think I would od if I tried to vape that stuff in my RDA.

Personally i guess vaping is probably perfectly harmless. There are variables though.
The safe vaping power chart can help people to avoid common mistakes, apparently over heating your e liquid can produce toxic vapour. Then there's vaping with a dried out wick (a dry hit), obviously not knowing the wick has dried out, (doubt anyone would vape with a dry wick deliberately). Then there's battery safety, i'm no expert but using the right batteries would be a good place to start.
So i suppose avoiding what not to do when vaping would render vaping benign. Recently i've heard of a particucar study which provided results that show what kind of toxins are produced from using too much power, the problem with that is it was made to sound like using high wattage/volts is harmful to a users health. So i think it's down to the user to ensure just how safe vaping can be by learning "How to". If there were a comprehensive "how to" book on the subject of safe vaping then maybe people wouldn't be so put off by studies they hear about.

I've smoked cigs for about 5-6 years. Picked up a ego pen and I quit cigs completely within 2 weeks. Not a single cig since.
I feel pretty good, It's easier for me to breathe, smell, taste, and I don't get winded while I'm working my ... off.
On the other side, my nose is dry as hell lol. I vape a lot so I really need to drink even more water because vaping will dehydrate you. Working in 100+ deg f weather sucks, on top of that getting dehydrated from a vape here and there really means I have to watch my water consumption. Not too much, not to little.
I've actually saved money, Ya I may have a little collection of mods/tanks/and rda's. But in the past year I've saved over $400. I'm happy.
As for the longer term health concerns with vaping... Well we all know cigs will kill you and even the people around you, Giving increased chances of developing multiple types of cancer, disease, and heart problems. So far it seems that vaping is much less harmful than smoking those cigs.
I'll take my chances vaping my blue berry and stawbana

Even if vaping were almost OR just as bad as traditional cigs.. I'd still stick with vaping because it taste better, smells better, and it's more affordable, and dude I can BREATHE.
My opinions.
My opinions.
Has anyone found where that UK report specified how they came up with that evil 5%? I suspect it was along the lines of "there must be something wrong with vaping, so we can't say zero".
I use a subohm tank and 3mg nicotine and I easily get through a 10ml bottle a day. I drink about 10 cups of Earl Grey Tea a day.
Vaping anything beyond 3mg is "crazy" in my opinion. I have NEVER smoked and just vape. I take it that all of you guys are in the vaping game just to come off ciggies? I really hope it will not emerge that vaping does something bad to you because I enjoy it. But then, the effects of vaping may not readily manifest and instead, there may be something long-term. For example, I know quite a few vapers who had had lung infections and pneumonia which I highly suspect may be from vaping since it may create favourable conditions for bacteria to breed.
