Are we Vapors or Vapers?

[thejohnnymac]

Which way do you spell it?

 

[poetofisis]

Well 'vapors' are wisps of visible particles that flit about in the air all mesmerizing-like. Vapers are new age tweakers, obsessed with all the various means of atomizing liquid nicotine...

 

[MiXoLoGiSt]

We are Vapers

 

[jonny2hottie]

We are vapers, those who vape. Vapor is what we produce. vape on!

 

[Devonmoonshire]

[reprisal]

We are vapers, we exhale vapors.

Convincing arguments.. Makes total sense. I just have to inform Firefox of my discovery. Vapers - Right clicked & Add to Dictionary. Good bye squiggly red line.

 

[bryyyan]

I hate that red squiggly line! I find myself also adding words to my dictionary to get rid of them

Is there consensus in the vaping community on how to spell vapo(u)r, or does it just change depending on where you live?

 

[iBANKAI]

Vapers = people who vap... Vapors = what we make when vaping..

 

[JC Okie]

There is a consensus in the community: vapers produce vapors. They may spell is vapour in the UK??????

It has to do a bit with the difference in English between here and the 'old country'. Typically in Britain they would spell color colour, gray grey, flavor flavour, etc. I imagine Wikipedia could do better to explain it: American and British English spelling differences - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Edit: I increasingly find myself writing in such a manner. Seems a bit more 'classy' to spell it thusly. And yes, it is a bit of a nod to our lost heritage. Nothing wrong with a little respect where it is due, no?

I say old chaps and chapettes, Johnny English here, I'm a vaper but it is vapour wot issues forth from my speaking orifice.

I refuse to ever be a 'vapist'. Can lead to much problem if spoken by one who has a lisp.

Okey-dokey?

hahaha, I just posted about this a few days ago, then after a moment of reflection I felt like a tart.

 

[gheebee]

I prefer "vaporist".

 

[Levitas]

I guess to distinguish a difference between what we are and what is produced (visually), we are vapers. But, you can call me Adam

 

[Thank You]

lol @ vapors

 

[zerominusone]

vapor is what comes out. We are vapers.

We are vapor people. Hiding in secluded areas to pursue our vice. Contributing a world that is not only green. But also a world that will smell a lot better than it does now.

We come from all walks of life with one thing in common. We are nicotine addicts. One must be in order to be a real vapor person. If you are not, we certainly don't recommend picking up an ecig.

We can now be happy with our habit and expect to be healthier in our old age than we had expected before. Praise the Lord and God bless China.

Vapors did a song about becoming Japanese in the early 80s.
Vapers are those who vape.
Are we not vapers? We are DEVO!
