Anyone into e-cigarettes?

Posting this as I was talking to Jody about them at the show last night.
Anyone else using e-cigarettes instead of smoking? I've been doing it since mid-February and my lungs and wallet really dig it. There's a bit of a learning curve involved but once you get the hang of it there's simply no need for "analog" smokes.
The FDA has been fairly outspoken against them with a LOT of propoganda but myself and the legions of "vapers" are farily certain that is simply because the various government agencies aren't seeing the revenues from the products or the nicotine liquid that the devices vaporize.
I will admit that because it is a relatively new product there may be some long term effects that nobody knows about yet but I feel they couldn't be any worse then the PROVEN harmful effects of cigarettes.
If you're going to try this stay FAR away from the kiosks at the malls, they charge far too much and sell inferior quality products that will create a negative impression of the technology. I got my e-cigs (Joye 510 nobox) at http://www.cignot.com/ and get my liquids at http://www.healthcabin.net/. Healthcabin is in mainland China so it's best to place a larger order to make the high shipping cost (I use EMS as standard shippign takes forever). There are a lot of US companies making and selling liquids but since they are largely run out of peoples basements I prefer the Chinese stuff as it comes from ISO9000 factories with good sanitation, clean rooms and so on.
If you're curious about this alternate method of nicotine delivery there's a great forum at http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/ with LOTS of information and many helpful members.
Jody - I got the charger case I showed you at http://www.cignot.com/category_s/52.htm and the Cartomizers (combination cartridge/atomizers) at http://www.healthcabin.net/5pc-510-hard ... -7607.html
