I have read many articles on the FDA trying to get involved and regulate e-cigs. I have a friend who lives in oregon and says that e-cigs are illegal in their state. Does anyone know if this is true???
Is there another ban about to happen?

Gawd, I hope not! I hope to move to Oregon. Such a Blue state, I would be disappointed to hear it.
AFAIK they aren't 'illegal' anywhere; they may however be included in the same ban on smoking in certain places as cigarettes are. Some states decided on a knee jerk inclusion without getting any 'facts' about the safety of a PV (as opposed to the documented non safety of an analog) as research hasn't been done yet on any scale.
Here is the info from E-Cigarette Ban - Did Oregon Ban Electronic Cigarettes? - Electronic-cigarette-future.com
Here is the legal statement offered by Oregon's DOJ:
DOJ has not banned electronic cigarettes. We are taking action against e-cig vendors who misrepresent the safety of these products.
The UTPA prohibits deceptive promotion of any product, including electronic cigarettes. Two of the products that DOJ investigated are e-cigarettes sold by Smoking Everywhere and njoy.
The national distributors for both products were served with official Notice that the Attorney General believes their promotion of e-cigs violates the UTPA and they were offered an opportunity to avoid litigation by agreeing not sell e-cigs in Oregon until it is determined whether these products must be approved by FDA.
If electronic cigarettes do not need to be approved by FDA, the companies would be able to resuming selling e-cigs in Oregon so long as they possess evidence to support their promotional claims. Two vendors of electronic cigarettes TA Travel Centers and Pilot Travel Centers already signed such agreements.
Both njoy and SMOKING EVERYWHERE have voluntarily agreed to stop doing business in Oregon while we try to negotiate a settlement. Although DOJ is looking at a number of e-cig products, thus far, we are only taking action against njoy and Smoking Everywhere.

Buy it and have it shipped to a friend in another state, then have them re-ship it to you..probably would cost you $5 at the most to do this..but it would work if you live in Oregon.. 
Or you could just buy another (better) ecig from another vendor besides Smoking Everywhere or NJoyBuy it and have it shipped to a friend in another state, then have them re-ship it to you..probably would cost you $5 at the most to do this..but it would work if you live in Oregon..
Well I live in Oregon and I bought one at the local smokeshop (a mini) about a month ago and then ordered one from cignot without any troubles.
I live in Oregon, and there are many non-hippies!!!!!!!!!!
We just purchase them online. I have searched and searched for vendors within 200 miles and have come up with nothing.
Washington is getting almost as bad, if not worse !!!!!!!
