The e-cig sounds mostly like a mini-vaporizer. I used a vaporizer to smoke pot back in the day. I liked it for smoking cheap brick weed that had a harsh smoke but if I had some well grown and properly dried/cured weed then the vaporizer was lacking, at least on the smoking and flavor experience compared to bong hits or smoking with a pipe. I can't imagine what kind of difference the e-cig makes compared to smoking reconstituted tobacco like cigarettes.
