No, I've drank those and lived to tell. e-liquid on the other hand. If someone were to drink one of my little vials, they'd sleep for a very long time. I don't want some young ***** screwing this up for the rest of us who appreciate and respect the technology.

I was referring to the few adolescents whose deaths have been linked to caffeine toxicity:

Teen girl dies of 'caffeine toxicity' after downing 2 energy drinks - TODAY.com

Ariz. mom blames energy drinks for teen daughter's death - NY Daily News

Monster Energy Drink linked to another teen's death, lawsuit filed - CBS News

But somehow those are okay because the soft drink industry throws $50,000,000 a year at politicians to turn a blind eye...

Just because you've had energy drinks and hadn't had any issues doesn't mean others haven't. Remember that we're talking about kids that drink these like soda, several times a day every day. I'm also curious as to what mg nic you're using? I know at 3mg my juice isn't going to kill me, but of course it's not meant to be a drink.

I prefer to not have headlines like that directed towards the vaping community.

I wasnt gonna get involved but if you think the government needs a reason to regulate the vape scene u r sadly mistaken when did the government ever need reasoning to make laws bills props or anything else to invade control regulate and take over our lives i mean come on history shows the corruption of our lovely government if they want our money they will find a way to take it from us

I dunno. One of my friends caught her 14 year old daughter stealing her cigarettes a few days ago. I did actually suggest she give her daughter the (unused) starter kit I had sent her last summer and some zero nic juice. I said let her use it until she gets bored, and hopefully by then she will be old enough to realize how stupid a smoking addiction is.

I don't want to see minors vape. But, everyone I know, including myself, started when we were too young to fully grasp what an addiction means. Maybe if we knew our kid began experimenting with smoking, giving them a vape to play with would get them past it until they're more mature.

My friend thought I was crazy though. I was a high school teacher, and know teens pretty well.
