The mist is hot too, I heard of a measurement of 56C at throat once, just googled, but can't find the source anymore.

  Yeah, the mist is hot. It uses heat to vaporize the liquid. Even at 56C, it's not far outside the temperature range of a typical cup of coffee [1]. According to that link from coffeedetective.com, coffee should be served closer to 80C. They even list the low end of proper coffee temperature at 65C (and other sources I found on Google corroborate). As nicotine and caffine serve similar functions, I'm not sure that the temperature at the throat is necessarily an issue. How many people pour a fresh cup of coffee and breathe in the steam coming off the top? I know I do occasionally.

    An additional argument is that a sip of coffee has order of magnitude more heat energy than a puff of e-cig.

    That's a good argument, I'm a sort of a wierdo, almost always let everything I eat or drink cool down to room temperature first, so it seems hot to me.

  I submit that cooked food is far more likely to injure you...
