Any effects on long term vaping so far?

[wutermelon]

Has anyone been vaping for at least 5 years see any effects in their bodies so far thats positive or negative? I know vaping isnt bad but we still don't know the long term effects which makes me worry/curious

There are definitely ECF members that have been active since 2009 that I know are still happily vaping. I am sure that there are folks out there that go back as far as 2007, maybe even earlier.

Hopefully, ECF admin will share the results of the latest survey so we can see for ourselves.

Nicotine addiction. Severe depression of wallet size. Anger management classes caused by rebuilding RDAs

Only 16 months here and only positive changes so far. I am actually saving tons of money too.

I've been vaping for 4 1/2 years and I have zero negative effects to report.

One year and three months and I've had no chest colds, no bronchitis, and I've reduced the number of inhalers from 3 down to one and no longer have to use a nebulizer to deliver 2 different medications to my lungs. All is well.

Five years ago I struggled to get to the mail box without being short winded. Today I jog around town about 3 miles 3 days a week, plus all the other activities feel like doing now.

To add to my topic I quit smoking for 2 years (smoked for 5 years) I went from lazy bum with no energy to a person with a lot of energy I'm addicted to going to the gym and finally studying more harder in classes . The Negatives would be just like what MikeE87 and also dehydration. Too much money was spent on something I already have

18months for me all positive clear chest smell taste is great and can now run and exercise at a higher level!

In 8 days I will hit my 5 years mark.

Reporting - sex is still good, actually even better than before.
"Kama Sutra"? Yes please.

I've been happily chain vapeing for 16 months. Not a single side affect here. Except the one already mentioned here, decresed wallet size. But that ones my fault

 

[mace bewley]

5+ here. Feeling great great!! No ill effects that I can report, unless you count my 17 year old being mad he can't beat me in basketball anymore! ;-)

Almost 4.5 years here...still happily vaping away

wallet size is much better than when i smoked

Started in 2009-10 after 42 years PAD. Breathing better. No more chronic bronchitis. Got rid of my car in 2010 and bought a bicycle that I use every day to commute to work (10 KM). I don't think I could have done that If I were still smoking a PAD.

 

[TigertailzBezerk]

Been vaping for 4 years and one month, 24mg all day every day with no health problems to report. Run 3-4 miles a day with ease

In the 31/2 years I've been vaping and not smoking..I've only had 2 colds and they were gone almost before they got started. Symptoms lasting only a day and no lingering cough. I've read many more reports of this

I also haven't had any new clothes in almost 4 years because all my money goes to vape gear! I'd rather have a new mod or atty than a new pair of shoes

 

[brawas]

It's great to hear all the personal testimonials, however, I think the OP was looking for any studies regarding long term use.

 

[Dayglow]

I very much appreciate how so many of the long(er) time vapers out there have had such marked improvements in addition to getting a solid exercise regimen into their life. A lot of people seem to forget about the rest of the healing you can do to your body when you can breath again. Keep it up guys/gals!

 

[zahzoo]

14 months vaping and smoke free today... No issues or problems to report!!

Well a moderate case of GAS (Gear Acquisition Syndrome)...

I would also like to see any scientific long-term studies on vaping. ...but I just don't think they're out there since vaping is relatively new. Even the newest study from my neck of the woods (Drexel University, Philadelphia, PA) says that the largest missing thing is a long-term study of PG/VG effects on humans (since even because PG/VG is deemed safe in things like inhalers, nebulizers, and fog machines, the amounts we ingest from vaping is several orders of magnitude greater than those devices).
