Congrats new winners!

 

[KattMamma]

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!

I just tried to do some advanced google searches using a custom date range, and was getting some odd results. Some of the pages and dates didn't seem right - so I checked the domains and found that many pages with a 2005 or 2006 date in google search results were on domains that didn't even exist until 2011 or 2012. It's a bug, google is aware of it, and they're not doing anything about it. So unless the page itself has a date on it, it's going to be hard to determine the date it was posted. Here's where the bug was reported nearly 9 months ago : Issue 647 - googlebugs - Google Search filter for custom period is showing wrong date after selection is made - Unofficial bug tracker for Google services and products. - Google Project Hosting

Just thought I should warn anyone trying to use google for the page date...

So, could it be true that our very own SmokeyJoe is the first to coin the term in the modern era of vaping??

I bet Ya Ollie would know the answer to that

$200 Electronic Cigarette Helps Kick the Habit

"However, im almost positive you have to purchase nicotine cartriges. If this thing coup vape tobacco like a reusable Eclipse cigarette, then i think i'd buy it."

This is the best I have so far.

 

[FiReSTaRT]

Congrats to the winners Good read: The Martian... No wonder they decided to make a movie out of it. If they play their cards right, it can be one of very few things coming out of Hollywood that doesn't suck

 

[GPC2012]

It definitely does! I just try to live on and ignore it as much as possible!
I have to take handfuls of pills all day, which helps a lot, without them I wouldn't even be able to breath without being in agony.
But I try not to dwell on it, those were the cards I was dealt.
When life gives you lemons, make lemonade, as they say!
I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy, if I had one.
I hope you're not suffering too much?
Keep tour chin up!

Like you a handful of pills daily. But
You do have one thing wrong. In the words of whodat
