It was simply a matter of time before the big money smelled alternate sources of revenues. Depending on where this is going with the politicians, I trust that Big tobacco doesn't take over the e-juice industry, at some point. That will probably never happen. However, they will find away to dip their greedy paws into all aspects of vaping.

Well, I'll tell ya what, if big tobacco gets their paws on eJuice and halts manufacturing - I will be swapping engines on my Chevy for some midnight eJuice runs through the California Backwoods :)

Sounds like a new Volstead Act in the making. "What eJuice am I vaping? Why, Bathtub Gin flavor of course!"

If blu and Njoy are the only choice a lot of people will be going back to analogs.

Initially, the Blu cig got me off of the analogs. However, I knew that I needed something else to maintain my course. Without other alternatives, I probably would have gone back to smoking cancer sticks. I admire my friends, whom have quit analogs cold turkey. Having said that, I truly enjoy vaping.

Has anyone ever seen a "healthy" smoker?
I love the lack of common sense most "tests" demonstrate.

When I was smoking I was considered pretty healthy. No cancer, no heart disease, no high blood pressure, no COPD, etc. My only health issue was (ironically) being overweight, which wasn't related to my smoking and wasn't causing any health issues, either. Doesn't mean I was going to stay a "healthy smoker" - which is why I switched to vaping! ;)

Keep an eye on R J Reynolds. This tobacco company is the one sponsoring legislation like Oklahoma's. They have their own e cig Vuse coming on the market and they would love to quash the ability of vapers to get anything else. You can trust the tobacco companies to feather their own nests first at the expense of anyone who is in the way.

Seriously, everyone knows, ye with the most money wins.

I don't know about that. I was playing sports against people more than half my age and could ride a bike 100 miles in one sitting, smoking all the way. Now I'm having a hard time dropping the weight I put on when food started tasting better (argh). I guess I'm healthier, but I'm older and heavier.

Encig, the main reason you're never going to have a "good working" cigalike is the battery. I am very happy with 3.7 to 4.0 volt range personally and the larger batteries and circuitry can provide that range consistently for a pretty long time. Unless the battery technology improves greatly, you either carry one device or are constantly charging and carrying supplies for the smaller products.

Reminds of my first PV ... Joye 510 (auto)
Those little Joye 510 units were great ... battery life sucked
after being recharged a number of times. I had 6 chargers running 24/7
and was always carrying around a pocket full of batteries.
:p

When I stepped up to an eGo ...
It was like going to heaven ... 1 battery lasted all day !!
