This is media spin....in their headlines and media spots they make it appear that any Electronic Cigarettes are banned. Law abiding citizens, such as myself have been led to believe that they were banned a year ago. When my daughter suggested I look into these as an avenue to quit smoking, I told her they were banned in Oregon. She suggested I look into it further as she knew people using them that had quit smoking. So I did... and what I found was the link you posted above Oregon Did Not Ban Ecigs | Electric Nicotine
Had it not been for some more investigation on my part, I would not be smoke free today...I am sure there are thousands of Oregonians who will not try these now, as they believe that they are "illegal."

Here are but a few headlines:

:cool: Milwaukie also!

I am in Milwaukie too! Right down by the river. Hit me up if you ever need emergency juice or attys.

Oh my gosh....this is just too cool, lol! I would love to meet up with you guys...
Either or both of you up to meeting at a Starbucks? Maybe Milwaukie Marketplace? We could sip and vape, lol!
I could show you my ProVape-1 which I just love... + I just ordered a wetbox and a riva...it would be great to see the gear you have too :) Maybe we could sample some of the juices we are using....
Let me know, I would love to meet up and encourage one another.
I am on my 6th day analog free! :)

I am itching to move to coastal Oregon so bad I'm about to break out in a rash. Yours is not the first I've heard of the unfortunate attitude there toward vaping. Very sorry to know this. And, it doesn't seem to fit in with the solidly blue state. What gives there?

It won't discourage me from my goal, in any case. Other things are obstacles though.

I know, crazy, huh? We in OR are all for legalizing weed and making your own decision on whether or not you want to die when you get filled with cancer and such, but gawd forbid we can smoke from technology that makes our habit more healthy.. OR is a wierd bunch. I've lived here for 11 years and still can figure them out.

That would appear to be a matter of pride for many Oregonians. :laugh:

Maybe some of you could car pool up to the NW vape meet. Provape will be there, we have prizes and it will be held in a really nice microbrewery. I have heard they have excellent food and beer.

That sounds like fun, any of you Portlandians in? Where can we get more info? Thanks

    Hmmm... odd... my guess is this is just some political shenanigans. The widespread misinformation is just an unfortunate side-effect of the media playing telephone. My regular bar, which had always been vape friendly, is now telling people they can't vape inside because the OLCC just made it illegal... believed them for a minute, but I'm guessing it's just this story getting blown way out of proportion.
