Those damn E-cigs

I am not a smoker, but I recently have been smoking Ecigs this past month... I did this because it is nice to smoke an E-cig when I get an urge to get high. Today I ended up smoking an ENTIRE thing to myself though!!!! which is supposed to be an equivalent to 2 packs!! I do not plan on smoking an entire Ecig every day again, but I was wondering if smoking 1 Ecig a week would be potentially dangerous. I have avoided and disliked real cigs my entire life. I cannot stand the smell and it makes me nauseous. The E-cig does not. Im just wondering just how much of a risk I am taking by smoking these for a month or two while I cannot smoke pot.
Or is this just a really bad idea?

E-Cigs aren't as many cigs as they claim them to be. Nicotine isn't the addictive poison The Man claims. Finally, why would you try a new addiction?
Walk away if you can, but if you need an E-Cig, have at it. It's still safer than a cigarette.

it might be equivalent to the nicotine in 2 packs, probably not anything more than a sales pitch, but the nicotine in 2 packs is not as dangerous as 2 actual packs of cigarettes a day because its not the nicotine that is particularly dangerous in commercial tobacco.
it is probably equivalent to the amount of puffs in 2 packs. if you figure this is 20 puffs per stoge so 600 puffs in the whole cartridge would you say that is more actuate?
you body can mostly speak for itself, if i were to smoke 60o puffs/2 packs in a day (and i probably haven't but i've done maybe 1.5) my throat would be very sore the next day as if i got a cold. if i were to smoke 600 puffs of an e-cig (i use high nicotine content and i probably have done that a couple days) i don't feel shitty at all the next day.

Smoke absorbtion is different than vape absorption. Vapers vape before the craving hits, because it hits your blood slower. Vaping is light years better than smoking. I still ask why you'd be willing to take hold of a new addiction. There really isn't anything positive from it.

hey i completely quit buying weed and saved a lot of money from starting to smoke cigs a few years ago...
nicotine is actually a great replacement to smoking weed imo, especially if you smoke weed by yourself a lot and most toke because you're bored. because really when you have an all day long weed habit, you're not longer getting any high than you do when you smoke cigs

I enjoy the E-Cigs a bit too much as well. I've only shared other peoples E-Cigs and deliberately don't buy one myself.
Nicotine in itself is still harmful (carcinogenic) unfortunately... Otherwise these E-Cigs would have been PERFECT!

Guilty.
Ever since I got a new ego mod for my wax, my ejuice use has gone up.
It feels cool blowing a cold menthol cloud of vapor every hit. My throat feels minty as well.

Nicotine is NOT a carcinogenic! The burning plant matter is. Inhaling the ingredients for E-Juice has been studied for years, since the inhalation of those vapors has been studied for years.

I don't think there are any long-term studies of e-cig use. At all. In addition, there's not regulation so the contents are entirely unknown.

personally i never smoked cigarettes for the nicotine.. it is everything else that would give you a buzz. when i had e-cigs, i tried many different ones from in store and on line, n i realized it was just a waste of my money. i was goin through them like nothing
