abbreviations vs complete wording

[pcman2k]

hoping you are all vaping well.
i am returned vaper after some years. so i know some and would like to know more.
any way, away from me, i have one suggestion, hopefully it finds any support.
it is great to find a separate part of the forum to beginners.
so any new will expect to find all or most required info to have a correct start. And a beginner should read to get the correct results.
..... however.......
i started to read facing a considerable issue, (issue not a problem) of abbreviations.
wherever i go i find unknown (to me possible to others) abbreviation.
the funny one was ECF
i found afterword it is meant the forum itself.
.....................
i would strongly and considerably suggest to have a sticky post with all used abbreviations.
may be it is to be maintained by the moderator, or as you wish.
the main benefit is one post for all abbreviation used.
like what is mod, pg/vg, rda, ....even ECF and FDA,.......... etc....ALL of them.
................ what do you think?

What???

You trying to take the fun out of learning??

LOL - Welcome to ECF. Grab your PV and ADV and start reading & learning...
(ECF - this forum, PV - personal vaporizer, ADV - your favorite juice)

Most of the abbreviations will be highlighted, such as RBA and RDA, PV PG and even VG. If you run the cursor over them it will give you a definition right there.

 

[EmpressAllure]

Just like what Sawlight has mentioned, otherwise u could also slowly learn the meanings. (It's really easy to learn it, but I understand where u're coming from pacman)

Maybe this will help, but it isn't a "complete" list:

This is pretty ironic, I think. Shouldn't we start with PC and 2K?

Some times you just have to think outside the ECF box, so to speak. This is one of the better jargon & abbreviation helpers => e-Cigarette Jargon and Terms - eCig 101

I knew what most of those were already, but what is "rda"? I checked both links from this thread and am left still.

Google knows if you search "ecig def rda". It returns this ECF thread.

There are lots of acronyms and abbreviations in the hobby world. Ecigs aren't without their own. So far, the posts in this thread cover links to most of them. New ones pop up all the time and I have to do the Google thing to find out what they mean, too. Don't feel deprived. Next week or so there will be another new cryptic term for us to discover.

e-Cigarette Jargon and Terms - eCig 101

Clearomizer – A term to describe clear or transparent cartomizers.

That isn't the normal use of the term cartomiser. Cartomisers are the ones with filling material, Clearomisers are the ones without.

I am afraid not, some yes, not all, i could not know what is controlling, what i am sure is not all abbreviation are shown, thanks any way

also this a good one.
so it can be attached to the same sticky i am suggesting.

....................................
thanks indeed for your question.................. it is on time................... i am not alone suffering asking or looking around for the meaning of an abbreviation.

absolutely true. the same applied on even each group of ppl. However, i am looking for the basics at minimum, and or accumulated .... so you have just said, if we have a new abbreviation, it can add to it.

 

[pcman2k]

thanks indeed all for your prompt replies. i wish to see some of the forum admins tech support to new members / suggestion.

That isn't the sole point of his definition. He does state that a cartomizer is a combination of a cartridge and an atomizer. Which is also the definition of a clearomizer if you think about it. The dictionary then goes on to point out the distinctions between types of clearomizers. At least he gets points for being consistent in his thinking and the key points to the technology.

None of these jargon for beginners dictionaries will ever be perfect. And there is something to be said for providing too much information on a beginner level.

It's there, but maybe a little too unabbreviated. lol

Rebuildable Atomizer – Also known as RBA, an atomizer designed with a wick and coil assembly that can be built by the user using raw components such as wire and silica, stainless steel or cotton wicks. These atomizers are considered to be unsuitable for new users because incorrect use could cause damage to attached devices.

Generally when posting in the new members section, I'll use the word and then the abbreviation, when talking about atomizers, atty's, or re-buildable atomizers, rba's, I will mention it like that, but when using the same term again in the same post I will then use rba, and not spell it out, because I am lazy but not inconsiderate. If I had to resort to spelling out what an rda, rebuildable dripping atomizer, every time, doubt that I would bother to reply or try to help as much as I do.

But I do understand your frustration, every single one of us has felt the same way, and if you searched the entire new members forum, you probably wouldn't have to go more than 2 pages and find the same post about abbreviations and vape slang. Also if you'd of bothered to search, you just might of found the glossary that was posted previously in this very thread.

IDK, but would be willing to bet, that within 3 months, if you stick around the ECF, that you'll be one of the members that will use rba, atty's, carto, clearo, ADV, APV, more often the writing out All Day Vape, advanced person vaporizer, ..... It's just rba is so much quicker and just as informative once you know what it means.

Welcome to the Electronic Cigarette Forum, ECF, congrats, congratulations, on your vape, um vaporizer juice and atty, atomizer.

Vape long and Prosper!!
