Dangit, now I have to start calling it my CBBH (Citizen Brown Bag Huffer)Yeah, the name in itself is definately a big reason why the public opinion is so negative about it.
When asked what my device is I usually say e-cig at first and then explain what it is. I've found most logical people understand after I talk to them for a few minutes and the illogical people, well you can't talk/argue with them anyways so...
Agreed!! I'm not out campaigning to change peoples minds. Because it won't happen... But we must think of the chillens.
While you make a good point, calling all vaporizers "e-cigs" even high-end mechs and regulated devices is like calling a Ferrari a "car". At first they were "e-cigs" they were slim electronic devices that looked like cigarettes. Now, however, the majority look nothing like a cigarette, they aren't just an "e-cig" they are mechanical/regulated vaporizers.

Technically they are the same type of thing. But a gas station cig-a-like is not the same as a ProVari. Devices such as this and other high-end devices are more than just an electronic version of a cigarette and they should be treated as such.
Yeah: unless it's a cig a like then often they ain't cigarettes.... at all:
Like for example
Tobacco smoked in leaves is a cigar
Smoked in a wood or metal tube with a bowl at the end is a pipe
blocked word it seems: but those type of cigarettes that have a drug legal in Amsterdam get called 'spliffs or joint'
In conclusion none of them are called 'cigs' or 'cigarettes' because they aren't
A cigarette is a small paper tube with tobacco leaves rolled up in them: what does a none cig a like PV have in common with that? nothing what so ever.
I think we should call them Personal Vaporizers or PVs for short

Exactly, when vaping started it was an attempt at an electronic version of smoking. Vaping has evolved since then and this should be recognized.
Nicotine Vaporizer. NV for short.
Due to the new WA law, I assume that the first thing many people think of when they hear the term "vaporizer" are the greens. I decided to add nicotine to the name so that they know it has nothing to do with the greens.

I like personal vaporizer. I really do not want to include the word cigarette in my replies to people around me. It's not smoking.
For all the years and the many times I tried to get rid of the evil cig, I will not have anything to do with that name in partial or at all except for discussing it with a smoker or newbee.. 
Call 'em what ever you like ... The public knows them as electronic cigarettes
and what a few here decide on calling them PV, or whatever, won't catch on and reverse history.
Actually, unless you're willing to give up the smoke-like vapor ...
what ya call them means nothing to our cause.

I always use the term PV,mine does not resemble a real cigarette. Now,if I had one that looks like one and has a end that lights up then it is a ecig,imo of course.
If I poured my mouthwash into a Beer can would it require me to be 21 to drink it since it has alcohol and thus being in a Beer can?
If I have a blank gun,which mimics a real gun do I need to be 18 and require a background check to obtain it?
Of course not,dam I hate the ignorant vape haters.
Sorry I had a outburst there lol

When I vape anywhere smoking is prohibited I hold in my vapor until nothing will be seen when I exhale. You can tell me not to vape all you want but no visual of vapor/smoke then I might as well be sucking on a pen as far as someone is concerned.
Since I have always done this and my PV doesn't mimic a real cig noone has ever said anything to me and I have been vaping for 4 years.

...., my manager asked me if there was any way to use it for allergies or like an asthma inhaler. He has never smoked in his life (62 years old) and seemed to have a very positive outlook on Vapes. BTW, whenever anyone asks me about it I say,"Oh, yeah, this is my vape. Think of it as an ecig but with no harmful chemicals and spitting out water vapor instead of smoke." I smoke 0 nic most of the time.
