I've found myself trying to figure some of these posts out as well. I wonder, if it would be way too much to ask, if maybe just here in the new members forums, you could include the full word with the abbreviation?

Ex:

Attomizer (Atty)

Just a suggestion!

If you hover the your cursor over the underlined word 'atty' you'll see the word 'atomizer'. :)

I did a lot a googling for a while.
Dunno if this works on all browsers:
Highlight item or abbr, right click, select search google for..., click google images tab. if that doesn't do it, add ecig before the abbr. or item

bcc
atty
vv
evod

I do that all the time. Saves time and works very well.

Many thanks to all who have chimed in. :D

Couple things I will touch on, I personally don't browse the forum on a computer, but rather my smart phone...LOL. I've found my phone replaces my pc for the majority of daily leisure internet activity. So, using tapatalk there is no underline or hovering on abbreviations.

And I would also like to say that everyone here has been super friendly, and I'm sure asking is not a problem, but like everyone nowadays I want my information instantly...LMAO.... who has several minutes to wait for a reply or God forbid a day or two! ? ;)

We are all so spoiled to instant information, instant knowledge of a subject, instant answers.... I remember when finding something out took effort...LOL. now just about anything is at your finger tips instantly...

Anyways many thanks to you all!
Happy vaping!

Oh you youngins... We had to walk to the store (in the snow, uphill both ways) to see what they had. ;)

Heck, that's nuthin! We had to ride our bikes to school 27 miles, uphill each way. That wasn't so bad though, it was the snow and ice storms in the winters that used to get me. Did you ever try that on a bike uphill and into the wind!! :lol:

WUD? HIG? HYAF. lol, lamo, roflmafao. ttyl, ok now.

Yeah, the internet and it's lingo is filled with all sorts of quick slang. There is a glossary for most used terms. And known equipment abbreviations are underscored and will give some meanings, like rba or atty, and bcc. Re-buildable atomizer, atomizer, bottom coil changeable. carto, cartomizer, clearo, clearomizer, VV & VW, variable voltage and Volks Wagon, no, no, woops, that's Variable Wattage. If confused on a particular term or phrase, simply ask, and you will be told.

But to tell you the truth, searching for the answer will gain one more knowledge about vape then asking. It will become second nature to say rba or atty, instead of writing out I have an Aqua re-buildable atomizer, and it has dual coils..... Also if you highlight many terms and have your typewriter do a bling or google search, you can quickly find and answer to most questions. HTH. HIT

Vape long and Prosper.

Well my folks couldn't afford to buy me shoes so it was 27 miles in deep snow and uphill both ways barefoot. Man, I really hated school.

Well FlamingoTutu, I imagine that was probably not all that bad. Try the same into the wind and on ice too and you'll get a real appreciation for the term 'Aaarrrggghh'! :evil:

Seriously though, my kids laugh at me when I say stuff like that. But it's so true. I've slowly turned into my father - I guess it's inevitable :)

Library's...you guys remember actually going IN to a library? Instead of searching on your phone or laptop?

Remember when catalogs came in the mail? And you were excited about them? The Sears catalog! Omg.....flipping thru that thing as a kid....wow......... how about only having 3 channels on tv? And if stayed up late and watched the station sign off for the night! Yep youngsters, tv channels actually stopped broadcasting at night! Hard to believe nowadays with 200+ channels available 24/7.

Well I just dated myself big time....
