Condoms and .... Plugs

[SnowDragon]

Isn't it time for a terminology change? The other day an old friend of mine asked me about vaping as alternative to smoking, so I walked him through getting a starter kit. Then I told him to visit this site since it is such a great resource of vaping information especially for those that have just started. vaping terms are the first thing that confuse a new vaporer, p/t, p/v, ppc, mod, doubler, drip-tip, wet-box, 901, 510, 808, 401, atty, bridge, etc. etc.

I got a text last night from my buddy....What are condoms? What are .... Plugs? What have you gotten me into?

Now I have a pretty healthy sense of humor and it does make one wonder how these terms ever came about. Wouldn't it just be easier to call Cartomizer End Caps, Carto Caps and Cartomizer Battery Plugs, Batt Plugs?

When you are trying to help a new Vaporer out with refilling Cartos and you tell them, " O.K., look through all your old condoms, find one with a .... plug in it and insert that into the hole on the battery end of your Carto", it's difficult at best to get through the conversation without laughing.

lol as someone new to all this I was OVERWHELMED by all the terminology. I had to read alot and my first thought when I heard condom was that 'so people use condoms to refill these? how wierd is that?'

Im still waiting on mine to arrive in the mail though. But Im getting more familiar with all this stuff.

I had no idea what teabag was so I looked it up on wikipedia, well now I know, ain't the internet nice to learn something new everyday

Here's a more accurately named method for what's widely known as the condom filling method. It's the CCFM or Carto Cap Filler Method and it looks like that might have been the original name as it's a fairly dated video.

Have you ever tried to use the condom where the .... blug goes on the carto? It doesn't work and what a mess.
I don't think renaming them to Cartomizer End Cap and Cartomizer Battery Plug would have helped in this situation either.

"Those who laugh at themselves will never cease to be amused"

We are, after all, a pretty funny bunch of vapers. Why wouldn't we stick with what is a true description instead of something less remembered?

Of course, we could use something else like White Cap that only has a small bump in it or White Cap that has a long pointy thing in it.
Or maybe just nicknames of Stalagtit and Stalagmite (we already get confused on these 2 anyway); Bump and Stalagmite; Smoothie and Pointy. lol

Maybe we should start a voting poll on this. You know I love polls. Oh wow! Smoothie and Poll????

I have a very warped sense of humor so when I first found ECF and started my education I was elated with the odd terminology. I knew I had found a home!

Whatever you call it, put a helmet (mouthpiece) on that soldier (atty) and practice safe vape.

Hahaaa! Hubby was filling a carto earlier and he is quite a mess maker, especially after a few cold ones. I told him I was tired of having to wipe his tip for him before putting it back in it's drawer(s)

 

[ddracer]

Your right it made me giggle when I first heard it. However I must say I always use a condom but never a buttplug, but julie likes using her buttplug she says that "it fills her up nicely"...........

Now I have a question, lately I've been a dripper, which means I don't use condoms, .... plugs, or tea bagging. Does this make me really boring?

 

[SuZamme]

Do you tail-pipe? Do you use a drip tip? Do you prefer stainless, delrin, or silicone? What's your favorite juice?
