Well, here is my entry: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!
"At the time of choosing, the earliest example editors had found (in the form vaping) was in an article, “Why do People Smoke” in New Society in 1983." [Video: what is the origin of the word vape? | OxfordWords blog]
