Unfortunately, mostly all studies that have been critical of vaping have been dishonest and agenda ridden. Most of the actual reports that are made public from these "studies" conveniently lack any shred of scientific data including method, controls, variables, and results!

Right yeah that is all I've seen as well so far. Hoping there is at least a few that aren't shit.

There are none that I have seen. Any study which highlights any negatives about vaping so far have used unrealistic testing parameters to prove a predetermined conclusion. There are a couple studies which were conducted more appropriately which came to no conclusion as far as safety is concerned. Thats pretty much the only true negative thing you can say today, is that we dont know what negative side effects, if any, long term vaporizer use will have, we dont know enough yet to say its harmful or safe.

Yeah, that's why I posted. There has to be some downsides, at the minimum the way drinking too much orange juice has some downsides heh.

As in the dangers and health long term health consequences? It's really not possible to conduct any studies regarding health and vaping yet. All we can do is test what's in the vapor and speculate based on what we do know. I say speculate because even if something is shown to be safe or dangerous, it most likely wasn't conducted considering breathing in the vapor all day.
All we have right now are self reported acute consequences like dehydration, bad breath, unideal lung function. You also have to consider the fact that most people are quitting smoking, so it's pretty hard to test the downsides of something that is replacing something similar but much worse.
