The e-cig was patented back in 1963 by Herbert H. Gilbert.
The e-cig was first implemented in 2004 by a Chinese pharmacist named Hon Lik

Geez, Never realized it was patented so long ago.

Funny think is I remember seeing a patent and pamphlet about Gilbert's smokeless cig at my grampa's place way back in the day.

Yes, and it was shopped around back in the 60's too; BT let some folks sample it, but they found it unsatisfying -- battery tech then was very far from what it has become; what they had then was really more like an "electric cigarette", not electronic. BP just plain wasn't interested in it. So it never went it anywhere. When Hon Lik re-invented it in the early 2000's, many things had changed -- electronics, batteries, and human knowledge of chemistry.

Was pg/vg always used ? I can only imagine the crazy chemicals, they must have used back then.
