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!
Well, here is my entry:



"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]

Actually, I far prefer McDonalds Iced Coffee :)

laughs, really I prefer Duncan's home made coffee, yes that's my last name.
I am taking a break and darn, does this thread move.

Thanks GPC for the help and anyone else.

I see the tagging and boy are there a lot of them, :blink:
