Nicotine is rated no differently than Caffeine, and it is generally accepted that it is no more dangerous.
Secondly, most harmful chemicals in tobacco are leached from the soil; just like rice grown in the southwestern United States has a higher level of arsenic than other rice, tobacco has chemicals used on the soil (over the years) as well as downstream deposits of chemicals used elsewhere.
Third, Smoke: First hand smoke is no different than dying from smoke inhalation during a house fire; just over a longer period of time. Second Hand smoke is no more dangerous than being in a house with a fireplace. The FDA report that secondhand smoke is dangerous was thrown out of court for violating the rules of scientific testing, it was also heckled by the scientific community for violating these rules. It is interesting to note that one of the tests sponsored by the FDA was ignored as it showed relative harm of second hand smoke compared to other sources: it seems there are 40 million times more carcinogens inhaled when someone is mopping than from one smoker in the same size room.

Is it still considered straight edge to smoke vaporizers that contain no Nicotine?
Even without nicotine, they still contain other chemicals. There has not been a lot of research on "vaping" and they are starting to realize that it might be more harmful than they first realized. Even if they are not addictive, they can be habit forming. Straight edge or not, why intentionally start a habit that you don't already have?
Can a person overdose on nicotine from an electronic cigarette?
Yes. If a user ingests too much of anything (even water!), it can become toxic. However, with the nicotine amounts found in e-cigs, it would be exceedingly difficult to receive a toxic dose of nicotine, when used as directed. There are electronic cigarettes without nicotine, namely the SMOKeFREE electronic cigarette. So in this circumstance, the answer would be no. However, different brands do contain different levels of nicotine. With regular cigarettes the filter reduces the amount of nicotine one inhales however with electronic cigarettes the nicotine is obsorbed quickly through mouth, throat and lungs. The theory is that because you're inhaling more of nicotine without a filter - the higher volume you're receiving. Some say upwards of 300% volume of regular cigarettes. Research is being done by many organizations interested in knowing the answer to this question - since nicotine is considered a drug by the Food Drug Administration - I'm going to assume one can take too much and result in an overdose. However, only time and research will tell.
What is the comparison between nicotine in cigarette and nicotine in e-cigarette?
This depends on the exact cigarettes and e-cigs involved. Both types of cigarettes contain different amounts of nicotine, though some of the electronic cigarettes contain none at all - depending on which cartridge you use. With the above said, there are other considerations. The electronic cigarette cartridges will often contain more nicotine than a single cigarette because they are made to replace an entire pack or more. However, they might contain less nicotine than the number of real cigarettes they are supposed to replace because waste is minimized and less nicotine is needed to get the same effect.

Does the nicotine in electric cigarettes go in to your system?
Yes the nicotine in electronic cigarettes goes into your system... though not as quickly as with traditional cigarettes. The reason traditional cigs go into your system is because the nicotine is free based with ammonia. Ammonia + the 1000's of other chemicals are what make cigarettes way more dangerous than e-cigs...which have no known harmful effects.
