Hi, I'm 28. For close to 2 years I was a chain vaper and I was using 18mg liquid. I recently quit vaping because of worries about my health. I have been worried about the effect vaping may have had on my heart. For around 2 years, I'm embarrassed to say, I have been experiencing erectile dysfunction and I have attributed this to the narrowing of my arteries due to vaping. It's probably also worth mentioning that I have had severe mental health issues for around 2 years too, and as a result have been on numerous antidepressants and antipsychotics. I did notice that whilst I was on one particular antidepressant I had absolutely no interest in sex (and erectile dysfunction) and when I came off this particular medication things improved somewhat. Looking for some advice.

Well, more than one psych med can give you erectile problems, for sure.
The only advice I can give you is to go see a cardiologist for an echocardiogram and an EKG, that way you will know how your heart is doing. Smokers do get erectile D/F so it's possible the nic in vaping could do the same. But, I'm not a doctor, and if you are worrying, it seems to me the smart thing to do would be to go get your heart checked, etc. I had that done a few years ago as a smoker, and everything was normal. But, normal was good! So, that would be the best advice I can give you.
