Alternative Word?????

[lannister]

Ok, Some people do not like the current verbiage that we use to discuss our beloved pastime, vaping. So what are some words you have heard or can think of that are synonymous with said act or action or collective description of the people who love it?


Need not be positive or negative necessarily, just What do you call it? or What do others call it?

 

[lannister]

Steaming!!!!!

 

[lannister]

Fake cigarettes....

That thing (as my wife calls it- I have to get all my PV's in stainless steel so she doesn't realize when I bring home a new one.)

juicing sounds better than vaping

 

[milo hobo]

Breathing treatment, air freshening, ad etc

I will not discourage you in your attempts...

However, this has been tried many, many, many, many times.
vaping, however stupid it sounds, is where things stand.

I do hope you find a better moniker for what we do.
It never hurts to try.


Some day, maybe someone will come up with something beyond brilliant.
And maybe today is that day.

 

[lannister]

Then why even say that?

It's ok, though. It's an awkward word and as you have said, prolly says it best all things considered. Still, maybe today is the day.

Ya, but I think of steroids immediately. However, I do say- where did I leave my juice?, and do you like that juice?

It would be good if it didn't already have a connotation.

Then why even say that?

To motivate people to give it a shot.

Anybody that comes up with something that sticks will be a hero.
And everybody loves a hero.

Vaping sounds so "Star Wars"-ey, like

I am Commander Vaporizer and you will allow me to board your Vape-ship, you vaporizers!




.......Not that there is anything wrong with that......

 

[DC2]

I totally agree. I hate the term "vaping" and always have.

Awesome answer. Loving me some DC2.
