Hello, Chaosrob,
You are correct about the cost. I did invest over $100 initially, but for several months now, I have spent only a few dollars here and there, including juices and spare parts. I've saved a lot of money. I also feel a lot better, and can choose to abstain from the ecig in an easy way, which is totally unlike the addition to the tobacco cig (analogs).
Thanks for your feedback on this subject.

I agree with you that the ecig is in danger of being banned, primarily because it is such a positive alternative to tobacco.
