Just a warning about electric cigarettes.

Do not charge them with a USB adaptor in the USB slot of a computer.

They will eventually short the USB slot and it will start to cut out frequently.

I charged it in the computers at college and now the USB slots do not work, I have the same problem with my laptop which I used.

I ought to sue Nicolites.
They are rubbish. They work for a while and then the filters you get wont work because the cigarette will malfunction.

If it starts to drag without you pulling on it then you know not to connect it to anything.

That is probably true of a lot of cheap electronics. If they draw too much current the transformer is going to get hot and burn out.
