vaporized liquid nicotine ? Where do you get it ? in Europe e-cigarettes are under scrutiny because the sold product is not guaranteed to be clean of toxic substances, otherwise it would be pretty great I guess.

I bought the eGO-T (meant for vaporizing plant matter) with a secondary nicotine adapter. In the US you can find both products at nearly every smoke shop.
One thing that really makes a difference is that the vaporized nicotine is actually somewhat hot, like cigarette smoke, when you breathe it in. Standard pre-packaged e-cigarettes didn't cut it for me specifically for this reason.

Too hot, I found, with the first such device I tried - way hotter than cigarette smoke. With the one I have currently (a bottom coil design, I think it's called, though I'm not into the technical side of the things really) it's pretty accurate.
And the nicotine refill are pure nicotine ? no weird additives ?
You mean pre-packaged e-cigs provide a bad user experience with 'cold' vapor ?
It's not pure nicotine, but a mixture of propylene glycol or vegetable glycol, flavoring, and then nicotine.
Some of the off the shelf disposable / prepackaged e-cigs aren't powerful enough to have a strong vaporization of the solution. When you're refilling yourself, it becomes substantially cheaper (maybe a few dollars for a month of heavy usage?), and with the higher end kits you can program your voltage / amperage settings on curves for your preference as you in inhale.

They're easy to find, though -- I'm not a smoker or, uh, e-smoker, but I'm in rural central France, and there's an entire shop that seems to be dedicated to e-cigarettes in the closest major town (population 7K or so).
The name "vaping" is something of a shame, though, for something that's a much less harmful alternative for smokers -- it sounds to me like a combination of "vapid" and "gaping".
Which is a really hilarious reason to be scrutinizing them, you have to admit.
Almost, but it's sane (pun half intended) to investigate any product even compared to very toxic ones, otherwise it's the same, people will ingest bad stuff, this time with the irony of thinking they were avoiding some.
