@SmokeyJoe Electronic cigarette - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Consumers of e-cigarettes, sometimes called "vapers", have shown passionate support for the device that other nicotine replacement therapy did not receive.[91][134] This suggests e-cigarettes have potential mass appeal that could challenge combustible tobacco's market position.[91]"

 

[gofishtx]

Wow, I just stepped away to take the dogs out and get another cup of coffee and came back and this I'm a winner

I want to thank all the little people.........

 

[Marina2]

Whoa, I just noticed I won.

I imagine that's the best way to find out, very exciting huh?

Congratulations all!

And, here's a fun bonus contest. Requires a little work and probably favors people with a little Google-Fu....

I'd like to see if we can find the FIRST use of the word "vape" or "vaping" online in the MEOV (modern era of vaping) (i.e. since 2006).

I suspect it's on ECF, but it's quite possible it was used elsewhere - note: this usage must relate to e-cigs and NOT to any other substance!

When you find something credible, please post and tag me @SmokeyJoe in the post

Have fun, and let's see if we can crowdsource an answer

I'll pick a winner who's answer looks most plausible to me!

@SmokeyJoe Sooo, pre-2006 doesn't count? I've found 2001?

@SmokeyJoe

" Altough it was not until 2009 that vape and vaping appeared regularly in mainstream sources, it was inveted earlier. According to Oxford Dictionaries research, it was first used in a 1983 article in New Society. Entitled ‘Why do People Smoke?’, the article describes what was then a hypothetical device: “an inhaler or ‘non-combustible’ cigarette, looking much like the real thing, but…delivering a metered dose of nicotine vapour”. The new habit, if it catches on, would be known as vaping."

Edit: Nevermind. Saw the 2006 lol

@SmokeyJoe There you go Oxford Dictionaries’ word of the year is ‘vape’ - The Washington Post

"The modern e-cigarette was invented by a 52-year-old Chinese pharmacist in 2003, and didn’t appear in the United States until 2006. When it did, Oxford Dictionaries explained, a “gap emerged in the lexicon, as a word was needed to describe this activity, and distinguish it from ‘smoking’. The word vape arose to fill this gap, and it has proliferated along with the habit.”"
