If you want a prop then use a Prop...like a white stick or something.
Plus I thought the whole smoking on film was a Huge nono these days, let alone kids doing it.
The "vaping community" already has enough bad press, and nasty politics going on about the "flavors" being made only to incite children into being addicted to nicotine.
It's one of the reason the "anti's" are wanting to ban ecigs for everyone.
Suggesting they use one, even in a pretend on stage only kinda way isnt going to go over well. As it threatens the legal availability for people who really need this.

The oral sensation of inhaling and exhaling smoke...or vapor. Is a very different need from the oral sensation of wanting something in your mouth to play with or chew on.
Try gum, peppermint sticks, lemon drops, carrots.
I see what your going for...but I dont think this what your looking for

Well said Rose. Many of us take our right to vape very seriously. It is a way to kick tobacco. Our rights have been in jeopardy time and again. I would never recommend an e-cig to a nonsmoker, especially on the premise that it may be used for "kids".

Now you want us to help you with fraud?? Is thhat what your asking?
I quite dislike your attitude. You can come down off your high horse anytime, thanks. I didn't come here to be attacked, I'm simply looking for the cheapest way to get an e-cig. And you completely missed my point about the Indonesian infant... if you are getting so bent out of shape over a slight possibility of a child using a harmless imitation product then you must not have seen the video or you'd have had a stroke.

Ya ya I saw it, everyone has. It could be argued that you missed the point, but you can change your argument again

So much for the friendly and welcoming image you guys try to portray for your community...

Excuse me for oversharing and explaining why I'm looking for what I am. I guess instead of a nice descriptive post I should have just come in here and said "yo, where can I get me a e-cig that looks like a real ciggy?" and left it at that.

Thanks to the first two responders who actually offered some information.

miura, I don't think anyone here is bashing you personally, but we are all kind of protective of vaping. In your original post you mentioned non-smoker starting to smoke, kids, and non-tobacco flavors. This kind of throws a lot of red flags to us because going along with any of these is just giving more ammunition to the people that want to harm us. These are all things that the anti-ecig people are using as reasons to ban ecigs.

Maybe to help understand us better you might want to read through this section: E-cigarette News - E-Cigarette Forum.

What Chuck said so eloquently. =)

Clearly, if you have been around this site and the other forums like it, you can understand that we are ALL sensitive to the possibility of anti *plants*. You happen to hit on a keynote that triggers a general alert -- 'the children', movie prop or otherwise.

For someone that says they read through the forums... they sure did not understand where vapors are at on these subjects.
I never said I searched for "kids and smoking" type subjects as that was never a main intent of mine, it just happens to be the main thing everyone is focusing on. I've browsed the forum trying to find the kind of product I'm trying to find for the last few days and have been somewhat unsuccessful. Never did I say I've spent many months reading everything on the site, so of course I wouldn't know everything that this community approves or disapproves of.


So, amongst all your narcissistic babbling, your ultimate interest is in getting a PV that looks just like a cigarette, filling it with candy flavored e-liquid, giving it to a child to use and then filming it? :glare:

:censored: off.
I don't know how you think I'm being narcissistic, I'm simply looking for a solution to an issue. That's what human beings do every day. And regarding my ultimate interest you clearly failed to read ANYTHING I wrote in the original post. My ultimate interest is getting something I, myself, can use as an alternative to putting a cancer stick in my mouth. But I appreciate your rudeness anyhow, it further emphasized how ignorant you are.

Again, thanks to the select few who were helpful. As for everyone else, I hope you didn't get your feathers ruffled too badly and let this thread ruin your day... I know I haven't.

I believe I'll be best off going with an 808. I guess I'll just have to buy a battery, charger, and carts separately instead of a kit since there's no way to order a kit with a different flavor. I assume nobody will tell me the best place to do this so I'll just figure it out.

Thanks for your time.

I can't say--even perfunctorily--that I'm sorry your expectations haven't been met, if only because I have no notion of what those truly were. That you've been ingenuine from the outset about your intentions has been obvious to anyone with a grain of intuition.

You need to streamline your approach just a bit; a five or six paragraph bio that reeks of manipulative sleaziness is monumental overkill, if it's purpose is simply to lay groundwork for the sort of simple information you ostensibly were asking for.

At least as bizarre is that you come across as relatively intelligent; this doesn't blend well with your claim of being unable--after "9 or 10 months" and "...far too much searching on this forum"--to find a no-name, $35 e-cigarette kit. Give any of the kids edited from your original post ten minutes (tops) and an internet connection, and they'd find it for you.

Say what you might about psychopathological personalities--glib, deceitful, amoral--that inept they're not.

I'll agree that asking for a cheap e cig that looks real for 0 nic, wouldve best suited. The over elaborating pulled my intuitive strings also, and triggered my alarms. Aside from knowing how ppl would respond to the kids things, after 10 months, asking where to find a workable $20 e cig with good flavor and vapor..are ya KIDDING? IF YA FIND IT- LET ME KNOW! But this forum is strictly for serious vapers, and to help those just getting started to get a leg up. We don't promote these as toys, or fun. The addiction to smoking is a serious issue to us, and we treat it as such, and protect ourselves against those who would compromise our new, smoke free lifestyles in any way.
E cigs that look like real ones are found in truck stops, and mall kiosks across the US.
If ya want props that bad, you get to pay just like we did.
