Talked to the shop I've been working with the past couple of weeks. If you send them a list of 6 or more people you work with who will start shopping there, everyone gets a discount. You also get one for Military, Police, EMS, Civil Service, Etc. I'm gonna try to get them to set up an ODT discount, too. (Gotta show them this thread today, the owners don't realize how many of us are doing this these days.)

I think it will grow exponentially as folks find out how easy it is to quit cigs with e-cigs as well as save a substantial amount of $$.
Its only a matter of time before the gubbamint starts taxing e-juice when the realize the decrease of tobacco tax money coming in...... Mark my words
May have to try them..Guess I will try to find a shop up here, that handles them..Do they let you try them first? DD

Some do.
VapeRite in Canton has a "Juice bar" where you can try all their flavors for free, just have to pay for any cartridges you would need to Vape them. I'm sure they would let you borrow a battery to try some stuff out.
May have to do a road trip!! Thanks for the info..DD
Here is some useful information to memorize when you run into people who like to bash e-cigs.
One thing I hate more than anything else is when people bash e-cigs with absolutely no basis. Maybe it's because they don't use them and they're trying to be cool or something. (Sorry, had an experience earlier today). So, I compiled some very basic information that is a good reference for when you run into people like this.
For this information, i'm going to stay away from well known information, such as the fact that if something is safe to eat it's generally considered safe to vape.
Lets start with the ingredients.
Propylene Glycol - What helps turn the liquid to vapor. The acute oral toxicity of propylene glycol is very low, and large quantities are required to cause perceptible health damage in humans; propylene glycol is metabolized in the human body into pyruvic acid (a normal part of the glucose-metabolism process, readily converted to energy), acetic acid (handled by ethanol-metabolism), lactic acid (a normal acid generally abundant during digestion). PG is considered safe as a food additive for both humans and dogs, but not cats as it leads to a type of anemia.
Hamilton, D. J. (1890). "Gastric Dyspepsia". The Lancet 2: 306.
Vegetable Glycerin - No explanation needed. About as harmful as eating a cucumber.
Nicotine - This is the only component of liquid that can be considered harmful. Nicotine does exist in higher levels than cigarettes, and many try to say that it is just as harmful as cigarettes due to a misconception that all negative health impacts come from the nicotine in cigarettes. United States Department of Health and Human Services has stated that cigarettes tend to have about 600 chemicals intentionally added to cigarettes, and the process of burning causes over 4,000 chemicals to be released. Among this list is light traces of battery acid, arsenic, ammonia, sewer gasses, candle wax, and industrial solvent. Nicotine by itself is about as dangerous as caffeine. Lots can kill you, but in regular doses there are almost no negative health effects.
Flavoring - Generally comes from food flavorings. No additionally carcinogenic properties come from vaporizing (burning is another story) and absorbing into the lungs. Again, about as harmful as skittles.
That will cover almost anything people can criticize with e-cigs. The only other argument i've heard is that it contains arsenic. The thing is, that was one company that only sold in china that went bankrupt like 5 years ago.
Anyways, I hope you find this information useful and it was a pretty good venting process for me. Feel free to add any additional tips to combat critics of e-cigs.

Many people think its a fancy asthma inhaler. I use this SVD. I bought it cause it lasts longer than many other ones. I have not smoked a newport in almost 2 months.
It has adjustable settings and lasts for 4 days before I need to swap batteries. Also I smoke the "minty minthol". It tastes like my newports.
Also I dont like the fact I have to carry around this battery operated stainless steel contraption but I stopped me from smoking. I deal with idiots all day long and need the nicotine. Plus I need to live long enough to finish my axis pistol collection.

Newports? How much time did you do?
