Is there a thread on the forums that has a list of all the abbreviations used in the vaping world?

you will often see words in posts underlined. you can hover over these words and a tooltip will appear explaining what the term or abbreviation means

for example hover your mouse over this word ---> APV <--- and you'll see the explanation pop up

any terms/abbreviations in particular you are unsure of?

trouble is, more are invented and used daily. Heck, make them up as you go, least I do. Yes I do it to piss people off inadvertently. Why? because anger is a powerful motivator, and is likely to make one mad enough to search for it, then go, duh, of course rba means re-buildable atomizer, or R91 means Russian 91%.

Think the lingo is frustrating to most new vapers/members, mainly because it's just another added frustration to the already very confusing world of Vape possibilities. Never Knew that Vape could become so involved and complicated, till I found the ecf. But once one finds their destined vape path, everything becomes more clear and easy to understand.

Welcome to Vape World, you just found your Golden ticket to Ride. lol

Vape long and Prosper!!!

This is a pretty good one too: http://www.stevevape.com/e-cigarette-jargon-and-how-to-decipher-ecig-101/

As you will see, as good as some of these reference guides are none of them are 100% complete and lingo changes all the time. If you ever get stuck feel free to ask. It's against the TOS to beat up on noobies here - not kidding.

Cool, thanks. I just read through the vape lingo, I did know most. I'm not real new to vaping. I started on 5 Dec 2013, haven't had a chew or cig since. In the last week or so I've been upgrading. Just bought a MVP and a Hcigar Kraken clone. Tonight I built a 13 wrap single coil that is at 2.9 resistance. Tomorrow I will either back it off a couple wraps to drop the ohms or add another 13 wrap coil to drop it in half. Not sure how the MVP will perform on a dual coil though, any thoughts? I've been Googling all weekend trying to find anywhere that someone is using a MVP with a Kraken, no luck so far.

Eh, try a dual and see what happens. If it doesn't perform well then you'll know to go single with fewer wraps. It's all a learning experience. Let us know what ya end up doin' I'm interested.

 

[shutslar]

As long as you keep it at, or above, 1.3 your in good shape with the MVP (its my current daily battery). I've even wrapped a couple of 1.1 ohm coils and they still worked (but I don't recommend using much because it ends up pulling 3 amps from a 2.6 amp battery).

 

[kenny6269]

I ended up pulling a few wraps off and dropped it to 2.2. It's doing good. When I get bored with it I'll do a dual coil and try to land it at around 1.6-1.8. I'm guessing it will never produce as much vapor as it would with a panzer battery or something like that, right?
