Lol you're lucky. My little girl does the same thing with handing me stuff. But the boy... lol. And year 3 is just as bad as 2. or can be. My daughter was calm as can be at 2. But when 3 came around.. omg the fits. She'd sound like a wild animal when we sent her to her room for timeout. lol.
Did I do something bad here?

Bob, I apologize for being somewhat sarcastic. It does not change my opinion but I am sorry I came off so.... harsh... ;-)~
I simply responded sarcastically to a sarcastic comment. But thats done with and I really appreciate what you had to say here. I can see your concerned with the chewing. But IMHO... Its an all metal eGo. Theres no damaged part of it or anything like that for there to be battery issues that could hurt him. The only thing hes gonna end up with from chewing on it, is a sore mouth.
As far as him emulating addictive behaviour. Thats just something that would upset an adult. He has no idea that he's doing that. And without the nicotine he wont get to experience it either. All he's doing is going through the motions so he can do what I'm doing. And I honestly believe anything that we dont want our kids growing up doing or anything like that. We probably shouldnt be doing either. I dont buy into hypocritical parenting "I do this because I'm an adult and I have the right to" Thats lame. Thats just a way to justify your actions when theres no other justification for them. So if i thought vaping was a bad thing to do and wouldnt want my kids to ever pick it up, I wouldnt be doing it. If they want to pick it up when they are of age, ill vape with em. But nicotine is not a safe substance for kids and they lack the knowledge and responsibility to handle it.
The tank. Im wondering if people think im talking about like a carto tank or something. Its a complete ego-c. Just like you would see if you went to joyetechs website. The plastic tank thats in there (especially new ones) are snug as hell and even i have had trouble getting them out of there. The cone part is screwed down so tight that i would need to grip it really well to be able to take it off. Would require more effort than a 2yr old could muster.
And boundries. Thats kind of the same thing. And parents place boundries to keep their kids safe, not to control them or put them in their place. A parents job is to teach their children and raise them to be responsible people, not to just ensure they survive.
None of this is directed at your parenting skills so please dont take my meaning wrong. these are my views and why I can feel comfortable allowing him to do something that wont harm him.
Set him up with some 0mg bubble gum flavored e juice, your little one could probably use a mini provari. You can get a custom Barney jwrap on it. Lower voltages, only up it if he starts asking for more vapor and TH. Remember fruity flavors as well. Kids hate tobacco.
I'm kidding. I'm figuring some of you might take me cereal if you don't know me lol.

Hi EricHill! What does it mean to take you "cereal?" Were you using your cell phone when posting? LOL
ROFL. I started reading that and was like "Omg is he out of his dam..... Oh.. he was kidding LOL"
Nice one man ; )
And i think cereal is a sort of slang for "for real"
Hi Rosa!
Sometimes I say cereal instead of serious, capn crunch was my godfather.
It can mean for real as well, have fun with it my friends.
I would say that is bad. When children play what they're doing is familiarizing themselves with the world around them. He has associated a vaporizer with something adults do and is practicing to do it himself. Unless this is behavior you want to encourage then i suggest that you put an end tip it... I mean that to be rhetorical. If you want to encourage that I suggest you spend a little time on the concept of morals. 
Eric thank you for bringing that bit of humor into our highly controversial conversation lol. You're a champ.
I agree with this guy. I think you sound like an excellent, caring, loving, conscientious father

So vaping is immoral? If I thought it was immoral I wouldn't be doing it. Like I said in a post just a few minutes ago. As a parent I don't play the hypocrite. I wont do something that I dont want my kids to grow up doing. Something is either wrong or it is. Everything else is just a preference. So if he wants to vape when he's 18 more power to him. But some people are failing to see that when you are a parent you teach.
Now obviously I can't have a discussion with my 2yr old on what vaping is. If he's interested in it that will happen later. This is simply to give him something he thinks is neat and cant hurt him.
Age restrictions are in place as a catch all to not allow something until you are old enough to make a mature decision on whether to do it or not. That is also taking into consideration the assumption that at that age a mature decision can be made regardless of upbringing. So with that the more guidance someone gets as they age, the more mature a decision they can make later on. Now this is not to say that im grooming my kid to pick up vaping. I'm giving him an alternative to something that he wants. He wants mine. Mine isnt safe for him right now. So i gave him a "De-weaponized" version. The goal is to simply give him something to hold to satisfy his curiosity.
Pretty arrogant of you to assume you can judge people on moral decisions based on your sole opinion.
There have been those who disagree with me, and there have been those that have agreed with me. The responses have been 50/50. So in saying that you are grouping me and those that have agreed with me into a category of "immoral". Bad form indeed.

Thank you! That's super nice of you to say. I'm not claiming to be perfect by any means. But I try my best for my babies.
If you didn't want to hear people's opinions then starting a thread with a title that invited moralising might not be a good idea until you are strong enough to take the knocks.
A tastier cereal has yet to be made!!! I have even had it crushed up and used to coat fried fish!
And I am Cereal about that ......... ;-)~
Oh get off of that would you? I dare to comment on something some else posts and you come at me with "you arent strong enough". That's pretty is contradictory. If you are going to comment on a topic like this. You can't be suprised when someone comments on what you say... And if you aren't strong enough to handle someones rebuttal then you shouldn't post in the first place.
I've not been "mad" or "upset" by anyone's post. But you bet I'll be commenting back. Did you except me to just sit here and read what people have to say without injecting more of my own views? Or should I just be clicking like and telling people thanx for the response?

I don't have kids, and I probably never will, but if I do it will be my tact to educate not govern, when and where possible. When my parents told me not to do something and I didn't listen I got punished and thusly learned not to do it.. in front of them. When I left home I was utterly unprepared for the real world and experimented in ways that would have made my mothers blood boil, and I learned some very valuable lessons for myself.. the hard way. How I wish my parents had taken an honest and educational route with myself and my sisters instead of forbidding from the house and avoiding discussion about anything they deemed inappropriate. I grew up in a very loving home with very well meaning and good parents, but I do wish I had been better prepared to step out into the big bad world as a young adult.
