I'm fairly new to e-cigarettes and this forum but not to message boards in general. I have found on other message boards that there is some sort of thread that contains abbreviations and their meanings. I was not able to find one here so I decided to start one and hope everyone will add to it anything I have missed and, of course, correct any of my errors. (I am starting off with the 2 abbreviations that I used in my title=)

Glycerine = glycerin = vegetable glycerin(e) = glycerol. They are all the same thing.

If the list becomes comprehensive enough, I will most likely sticky it.

imsewsure: I hope you don't mind that I am editing the list as well. >_<

No, I love the fact that you are able to edit it but it confused me (LOL). I'm searching the threads for other abbreviations to add.

Not sure what the following abbreviations mean. I've seen TW before and think it may be a company?? I'm not at all sure what NG is but I found it where someone else was asking what it means so I can't even include the context where it was used.
TW
NG
