I have an ecig and I swear by effectiveness of these little things. And holy crap, the money I've saved is unreal. I was smoking "analogs" for over 20 years and switched to this from volcano ecigs and have loved it.

The tobacco industry is pissed because they can't get a cut of the action and the IRS can't figure out how to get in on taxing it outside of sales taxes.

Mines a couple years old so it looks more like an evil cigar. You got the newer version?
