Acronyms & Terminology

[Atreides096]

Creating this in newbie because (1) I haven't hit 5 posts yet lol and (2) It ultimately makes the most sense in Newbie anyway.
----
I vaped for the first time perhaps 8 years ago, and became a full time vaper 1 year ago, but am new to the ECF and do not recognize many of the acronyms and some of the terminology. I suspect many others have similar problems. I think that a consolidated glossary would be helpful. My proposal:

Each person who replies should COPY (not quote) all of the terms from above into their own post along with whatever terms or acronyms they add. This way the newest post will always contain a full, consolidated list. I will start the list with a few that I can thing of:
----

Analog = A real cigarette
Atty = Atomizer
ECF = Electronic Cigarette Forum
juice / EL = e-liquid, the liquid smoked in electronic cigarettes
TWEL = Totally Wicked e-liquid
Vape = The act of smoking an electronic cigarette

(example of what I meant by copying from above, new additions in red)

Analog = A real cigarette
Atty = Atomizer
DIY = Do it yourself
ECF = Electronic Cigarette Forum
Juice / EL = E-liquid, the liquid smoked in electronic cigarettes
OP = original poster
PG = Propylene Glycol, an e-liquid diluent which causes you to feel the e-liquid in your throat to closer mimic the feel of a real cigarette
TWEL = Totally Wicked E-Liquid
Vape = The act of smoking an electronic cigarette

Analog = A real cigarette
Atty = Atomizer, the metal piece inside of electronic cigarettes which converts liquid to vapor
Cart = Cartridge, the plastic housing for e-liquid
Carto = Cartomizer, a single piece, usually metal with screw threads, which combines the atomizer, cartridge and e-liquid
