Don't be unless you have something else in your car that is not legal. I use a silver bullet in my car. A cop pulled up right next to me, and I continued to use it. Not sure if he saw it or not.

That may be over dramatic too but it's a scary thought.
I don't think they can fine/arrest you unless you actually sell it. They may be able to on intent, but proving this would be difficult. It is not the same as if I came to Cali with 100lb of pot. There is a clear intent to sell as this amount is certainly not for personal use. I think you would have to have 1000's of parts and gallons of juice before they could prove intent.

I did not see anything in SB-400 about importation. If there is then you may be in a bit of trouble for bringing it into the state.

In any case I am not a lawyer. Sun would be the best person to ask about this.

I know I shouldn't be but cops tend to confiscate then ask questions later. I'll probably just use one of my e-cigarettes that I really don't care about losing if it was to ever happen. My windows are also tinted pretty dark so it's hard for them to see inside.

Are you living in an area where you might be pulled over for your windows being too dark? I got a used car with tinted windows, and i got pulled over twice within a year before removing the tint!

I would be wary about being pulled over for any reason if i have something sitting in my car that they might confiscate.

I've had my windows tinted for years on all my cars and have never been pulled over for it... and I don't carry anything in my car that could get me in trouble. Just where I live not too many people know what an e-cigarette is. I get lots of stares.

In California you can purchase medical .......... If they stop you for any reason you can be charged with drug possesion unless you have a card stating this is for medical purposes. I guess the same thing could happen if you are stopped and have in your possesion an electronic cigarette especially if you have enough with the intent to sell. I wonder what laws you have broken with this one. It will really be a joke.

And the crazy part is that anybody can get a medical ......... license. My friend wanted to be able to smoke legally so he got one here in California. All it takes is money and knowing the right "doctors."

Well, my question is, why would you give the cop "permission" to search your car anyway?
If you are stopped for commiting a crime, ie: speeding, turn signal, whatever. DO NOT give the cop permission to search your car, he is looking for evidence to charge you with a more serious crime.
If he starts that crap of "why won't you let me look in your car, do you have something you don't want me to see?" Just say no, do you have any reason to suspect a crime is being commited? or how about, no, but i do want you to see and acknowledge my right to protect myself from unreasonable search and seizure.
I carry a gun, licensed to of course, but in my state i don't even have to tell the officer that i have one, unless he asks.
End thought, do not help the officer put you in jail or seize your belongings.

Go too youtube right now and type dont talk to the police in the search. The video is made by Professor James Duane I would post a link but im not able to post links on the forums yet. Also a must watch is How To Refuse A Police Search . I know of theses videos because of the many GUN owner forums I belong to and the videos go over YOUR RIGHTS ! Not just your rights about owning guns and carrying guns. But YOUR RIGHTS as stated in the bill of rights. You should know them and know how to protect yourself. If you don't know your rights how do you expect to keep them.

I carry a Walther P99 9mm hand gun And a Joye 510 E-Cig. Get use to seeing me with them because there mine and I will carry them with pride where ever I go ! And I open carry my fire arms because my state laws say that is my Right , I do the same with my 510 untill such a time the law tells me I can't. ( God Forbid )

P.S.

Stop reading and go youtube the two videos already everyone should see them !
