Did I do something bad here?

No not really. I just wanted to know what people thought about what I did. The title was to get people to come in and read/post : )
I mean it seemed like a good idea to me. I took every precaution to make sure it wasn't harmful. But I was little curious if it was a good idea just because of what it is. I expected to get the responses that I've been getting both good and bad. But just in case it was sort unanimous that it was a crap idea, I wanted to hear that from fellow vapers. But the general consensus is. Some people dont like it because it looks like it encourages kids vaping. Others see the benefit of nurturing a toddlers natural curiosity. Some others don't see the harm at all as long as its safe.
I'm ok with it is as long as not everyone thinks its a stupid idea. My wife is ok with it and her's is the opinion that matters most. It beats him wanting to grab my vamo anymore. And so far, after giving it to him, he was like "HAH! I won! I have a PV like daddy!.... Now what... Eh, lets play with the dragon again." So yeah.... Mission accomplished.

Those are my words and opinions. Seems like you are the one that can't handle responses. I didn't resort to angry wording, harsh language, name calling or "yo momma" jokes. So yeah I see nothing wrong here. Why are you trying to provoke an argument? The rest of us have been having a discussion. You just seem to be trying to fuel a non existent fire my friend.
Whether I agree with your arguments or not, I respect the way they were stated.
Why thank you. Thats very good of you to say. I'm by no means trying to start a flame war. And I'm largely appreciative of the way people have been conducting themselves in this thread.
Derp! You werent talking about me rofl. Sorry I'm rather distracted by both of the "non babies" slamming on tiny guitars right next to my ear lol.
One time my niece was sooo interested in my pack of cigs. I think more because we continued to say no to her when she grabbed them. She got out of her crib early one morning. Went straight for the cigs. And ate about half the pack. Crushed the rest. Talk about harmful. Not to mention she was raised in second hand smoke all of her life. And now both her and her brother smoke. With that said.. I never heard anyone complain that we were harming the children in any way. Back then (early 90's) it was socially acceptable.
So I guess if you compare that story to yours. I think your 2 yr. old will be fine.

I don't think it's either good or bad. It just is.
There are no set in stone answers when it comes to psychology. Some answers may work for many but no answers work for all.
You made a judgment call. Time will tell if you're right or not.
If there were set answers there would be no smokers or drug use. The ANTZ have been brainwashing since I was in gradeschool. DARE has been brainwashing for a long time too. For some kids it works, for others it tempts them into trying the forbidden fruit.
And certainly nobody with eyes can say the pop psychology that has been passed off as fact since the 60's is having perfect results.

What kind of fish?
I'm thinking Mahi Mahi would be good.
Captain Crunch used to rip the roof of my mouth to shreds.
Didn't stop me from eating it though.
Is it just me, or is she hot?I read that in the voice of Lilith lolz.
I always thought she was, especially when she lets her hair down. I'm sure if she were a vapor she'd be a CE2 kind of gal, they're the hottest.
You're right.. yours and hers.. that's it
he's not hurting himself. .he's not hurting others.. can't say i would or wouldn't since i don't have kids. . As long ad he's safe.. that's what matters.. (said in manly voice of lillith from Frasier)You're right.. yours and hers.. that's it
Thanks for that post : )
Also I think you are forever going to be known as lillith on ECF rofl. <3
Reading all of the responses, I can see each point. I keep thinking of the candy cigarettes we had as kids, we "pretended" to smoke with them. I think of people dressing their kids in things with alcohol brand names on them. I think of baby bottles shaped and labeled like beer bottles. I think of plastic "razors" for little boys to emulate their daddies shaving. I also can say, though that I think that there are adult things, and kid things. Kids should learn that. But how many of you drink around your child. You might say "it's just beer". Beer killed my dad at the age of 50. You don't have to drink a lot or "strong alcohol" to get Cirrhosis of the liver, just as you don't have to smoke cigarettes to get lung cancer. I'm torn. Raising my daughter, she was always around my hubby's guns. They were double locked (trigger locks and a locked cabinet) but we told her, if she ever wanted to learn about them, to ask. We did not want her learning on the streets. She never asked, not once. She does not own a gun, but does want one and wants to carry/conceal like we do! We don't drink, she does. (she's 30 now) Go figure. I think that maybe giving him an actual ego is perhaps taking it a little too far, but I can't say I blame you. There isn't an acceptable ecig "toy", so you created one, and that took great creativity. Just my opinion here. You show concern by wanting opinions of others, so I say your heart is in the right place. Just make sure he knows that adult things like vaping are for grown ups and that grown ups are the only one's that get to do it like daddy does. Off topic (just a little) my granddaughter started lying to her mom and my daughter asked for advice. I told her to put hot sauce on her tongue. It's an actual form of discipline, but it is controversial (Google "saucing"). That got me in a heck of a lot of trouble with her other grandmother! But, to me, it was better than spanking and it was a temporary pain, much like spanking (I don't like to teach that hands are used to hurt someone) and it's not like hot sauce would be poured down her throat until she vomited. NO! And, children in cultures other than mine eat spicy food! But I still was yelled at!
