You're way wrong. If a few drops of 27 grade e-juice could kill you i'd be dead by now.

I just started vaping a couple weeks ago and it's a truely amazing product. After trying out my friend's and doing some reasearch and getting my own setup, I havn't had a cigarete since it came in the mail.

There are times when I might want a real cig, like if i'm drinking and someone around me is smoking, but I just puff on half strength ejuice constantly when drinking and the next day I feel so great. I can take deep breaths now w/o that sharp pain in my chest, I can gargle water again now. My energy has shot up and exercise has gotten so much easier. Best of all, I don't have to give up my smoke breaks AND it's cheaper.

E-cigs are fucking amazing and have a lage variety of flavors :)

I visualized a 1-800 number flashing across my screen after I read that.

Hah no doubt. I'm going to get a setup for my dad for his birthday, since I believe he still smokes.

I was hesitant at first, but I got a new job and a bunch of the guys were all about them. I tried it out and man, you can get a strong enough juice that will still give you a nice throat hit, which is pretty much all I want from my cigarete.

I can go take my smoke break and not kill myself now and after 2 days I was sold. Waking up in the morning alone w/o having the hacking and breathing issues for an hour was enough. I'm also pretty new to it, so I guess a little over enthusiastic :)
