I'm 20 weeks pregnant.i completely stopped smoking cigarettes. is the replacemet of cigarettes with the vaporizers better for the baby?

No: Any source of nicotine, natural or vaporized, will lead to problems for the fetus. Low birthweight, premature ageing of the placenta, and excessive nervous system stimulation are all a factor. Going to vapor is better for you but your body filters out the debris and ash before cigarettes effect the baby, making both the same from his/her end.
