The reason I'm a bit skeptical about non-smokers who starts vaping nicotine is because of the arguments belonging to the people who wants, in the end, to ban e-cigs. I don't know how the debate has has been in other countries, but the argument that vaping could make more non-smokers addicted to nicotine because of the lovely taste, is prominent in Norway. Today, in Norway, it's still illegal to sell liquid with nicotine, but since we're a part of the EEA we are allowed to import it from the EU-countries (and the customs can't stop it). I don't want to give "the enemy" more fire-power, than they all ready have. Norway will probably follow EU-regulations in the end, so I'm holding my breath that it won't become too expensive or difficult to get.
I also find it stupid to start an unnecessary addiction to nicotine, which is not healthy, when you can get a 0% liquid to play with.

That said, I actually bought a friend an e-cig with 0% nicotine, so she'd stop stealing mine (with nicotine). She was a non-smoker, but loved the taste. She loves smoking the shisha and the taste remind her of that.

I didn't smoke. I dip, and still partially do, Grizzly Wintergreen. I dipped anywhere from 1.5-2 cans a day for the past 10 years. I want to stop and found vaping to be a good alternative. It's weird though because I require a TON of nicotine (if I'm not mistaken, dip gives you a lot more nico than smoking) but I can't really handle the harsh throat hit.

My dad smoked 20-25 years ago for a while while he was in the army but switched to chew. He has now switched to vaping (thanks to me :) ) he uses an RSST at 1 ohm with 24 mg nic being the only way to get enough nic to replicate chew. I try it some times and idk how he does it because like you said the TH is crazy (and I get a little light headed which is nice)!
