Personally I've found the CA AG's office to be as informed as a bag of rocks on many subjects in their jurisdiction. 
It also doesn't matter what they say on the phone to you; If you're going to rely on something they say, you need it in writing. That takes time and money too. If I were you I would be completely satisfied with CASAA's writing, since if you were to get in trouble (which you won't) you could produce their writing as the basis for your actions and you then wouldn't be held accountable (they would go after CASAA instead, if they had misinformed you, which they haven't).
While your caution is commendable and may be influenced by your education in journalism, it is likely more influenced by our State doing their best to revoke people's benefits for the slightest infraction. I've seen it happen absent an infraction, numerous times (I have some involvement with Medi-Cal and the Veterans Administration). Buying an e-cig makes benefit-loss no more likely, but does help you breathe easier and keep more money in your pocket.
I'm saving $150 a month now thanks to e-cigs. That does wonders for fixed incomes. buy an e-cig and juice from a California-based vendor using a card over the phone, or reveal your general area and one of us may live close enough to assist you.
The biggest regret I have regarding e-cigs is not taking the plunge when I first read about them a year before buying one.
