It's different from cigarettes. You don't get all the tar and stuff, but many people get even more nicotine, which is bad for your heart and addictive. I would say it's likely better, but it's different.
(There's also non-nicotine vape products which often aren't regulated so can cause all kinds of issues.)
I wouldn't trust that meta analysis. It specifically states in the methodology that studies that mentioned smoking or cigarettes were excluded, but several studies that I spot checked were about smoking and cigarettes.

Easily the best answer i've gotten on this thread.

I don't see where they're arguing that vaping is worse, that's a strawman, they're arguing that both are bad.

Sure, but they're clearly wrong in that and in the comment above they conceded the point. You're just kicking a dead horse at this point.

Nicotine isn't bad for your heart. In fact, it can be beneficial.
If you're going to make a claim like that, at least back it up with something, and no you're almost certainly wrong.
