Chain-vaping is a potential problem. Maybe the e-cigs should have a signal to stop after a minute or so.

The carb (depending on your model) tends to get very hot when chain-vaping, so its a slight fix on its own. People just need to be aware of what they are doing, which is on the individual. I do not forses "good" education coming from PSA's or governments on eCigs, much like hookah [1].

[1] We have lovely billboards in SLC on 1 hour of hookah == 100 cigarettes, which is based on a poorly designed study by the CDC which measured volume of vapor in hookah as a comparative to "what if it was the same volume of cigarette smoke", as a paraphrase.

If I get a response, I'll have more time later to pick this apart.

Note many times the studies are based around "traditional" such as Tombak tobacco, which is placing the coals directly on the Shisha (tobacco), versus more standard practice (especially in US / hookah bars (across to Vietnam, etc.)) of tinfoil or steal as a heat diffuser.
