If anyone's interested, here's another discussion of what to call them.

I love that made me laugh. remember the commercial about hawian punch the little guy says how would you like a hawaian punch and he punches the other guy, Probably before your time I am a old timer lol. Anyways thought that was funny

Yup, as mentioned earlier that's how I describe it when out and about. It has a calming effect on folk - the phrase, not the inhaler (though that too, of course!).
I call it that too (nicotine vaporizer, actually.) The only somewhat negative comment I've ever gotten is "Why don't you just quit?" which is a valid question.
I'm thinking we should leave the word nicotine out of it. After all, many of us have the eventual goal of vaping without any nicotine content.
How about doing about this backwards? What *doesn't* the FDA regulate... or bother with? What words are used to describe those, and how could those words be truthfully combined?

I know what you mean about the "Why don't you just quit?" question being valid - but imho it's also a bit rude. It's doubly irritating because the people who ask the question are often bone stupid - I feel like replying "Why don't you develop social skills?" It's a vexed one, that's for sure.
Inhaler
Mister (double meaning)
personal light saber (pls)
miniature light saber (mls)
Penning (cause shaped like a pen)
Atomizer or Atom-ing
Atoning - to make amends... for past smoking
Kicker - kicking,,, for kicking the habit
I'm just running on trying to think of a good name. Don 't want anything that kids would be to attracted to. But you want it to catch on and attention grabbing. The name shouldn't be something to scare people with medical terms or anything to do with smoking.
I'm sure we can rack our brains and come up with something good. Let's keep trying.

inhaler
smokeless(very important part)
replacement
digital
HD (seems to be all the rave these day)

vaporizer
there has to be an abbreviation somewhere
So is Kleenex, but that doesn't stop people from using it as a generic term.
Nicotin Vaporizer- if your getting pulled over by a cop that thinks your smoking weed.
Personal Vaporizer- if your writing letters to the FDA
Wii Vaping - If your's is White and Has a Blue light and your using it while playing Wii
Electronic No Smoke Cigerette- if your being approached by a bouncer at a bar.

I just thought about how much the term e-cigarette might help some people to accept the idea as a nicotine replacement method rather than simple drug abuse. Does anyone agree?
To most non'smoker's nicotine replacement is drug abuse. I've actually had my kids come home from school and tell me I use drugs.............
If you add in the word cigarette and most think a cigarette is a cigarette is a cigarette.
I love it. Kids propagandized to accuse their parents of drug abuse.
Everyone uses drugs. Anyone who says they don't is full of ****. Caffeine, nicotine, aspirin, alcohol... the list goes on and on. There's not a single human being on the planet that doesn't use one drug or another. The problem is the black and white language of the culture war against certain drugs. There's no distinction made between drug use and drug abuse. There are millions of people who drink but are not alcoholics. There are millions of people who smoke who are not abusive smokers. There are millions of people who use pot who are not addicted. There are millions of people who drink coffee who don't abuse caffeine. But the mainstream community doesn't want to admit that there's such a thing as responsible drug usage. It undermines too many lucrative avenues. The perception is that there's more money to be made and more power to be consolidated by demonizing drugs than there is to recognize the reality.

I'm just saying that if a cop walks up to me I'm not going to call it a personal vaporizer or anything like that. I'd call it an electronic cigarette. It's helping me to quit smoking.
