Meyer said she based the vampires on science, and the shapeshifters on magic. You seem very interested with immortality, but it's also possible that a shapeshifter could live forever too. All we know about the venom is that it comes in different types. Like the eyes have a type of venom that duplicates tears, but the eyes of a vampire no longer need to blink, so they don't cry. Their eyes also change from red, gold, and black. Their mouth venom is the ONLY type of venom that can change a human into a vampire. Their body also contains a venom that takes the place of blood in their veins. A vampire smells so good because the venom smells so wonderful. I've read that the venom is clear, like saliva....and I've also read that it is a pearly white substance.
