What are the chances of developing lung problems if you recently started vaping and only done it a few times?

Chances are slim. There are people who live a relatively healthy lifestyle despite vaping for years. Most of the research is aimed at people who don’t live a healthy active lifestyle and has a vape addiction.

My sister recently started using a THC oil pen that she got from a dispensary. I normally only do edibles but one day she asked me to take a few puffs with her from her pen. It was strong and it made my chest feel weird so I asked her if it was still considered vaping which she told me “No. you can only vape nicotine.” It didn’t sound right to me but I took her at her word. I ended up buying myself the same pen and smoked it a few times but took many puffs. One day, I just decided to do my own research and my sister was very wrong. Just because it isn’t nicotine it’s still vaping, you’re just not vaping nicotine but THC instead and from what I read, vaping THC is worse. I told her about what I researched, she’s still standing on the “You can only nicotine.” And she’s already been saying she can’t go to sleep without using her own anymore and that’s a red flag to me. Plus, she’s been coughing and hacking more. I tossed my pen out and decided to just stick to edibles.

Good for you! Your sister is in denial cause like you said, she's become addicted to it. In some countries like in Sweden you are able to purchase various medical tests including xray of lungs to see if their are damages due to smooking/vaping. Maybe get her one of those tests before its too late. We purchased a vape some time ago after being at a wedding where almost every youth vaped. We puffed for like a week and since its laying in the cupboard. The friends at the wedding, it was literally like a drug for them, going about it every few seconds.

Depends on the vape pin. Some of them are worse than cigarettes.
