Speaking of which, I was talking to an Indian student the other day while waiting for the elevator. I was carrying my Provari with a clean tank and trippy tip and he asked about it. I explained what it how it worked etc. He looked at me and said "so that's a hand-held hookah then." I decided then and there that was my name for them, lol.

You do not want to confuse a hookah with a PV. Hookahs use tobacco (shisha) and burn it, leaving ash/charcoal so you are inhaling smoke rather than vapor, and combustion is different from vaporization. It is a huge difference, and the major one that differentiates vaping from smoking. You wouldn't want to use a hookah to quit smoking, but you would use a vaporizer to do so.

Bottom line: If you call it a hookah, you will give people the false impression you are smoking.

Bert I think there's something wrong with the web site. Just playing around I hit color selection for blue and 2 tips came up that wasn't listed in the view all selection. /ducks

Thanks for the heads up Jim! I had a friend helping me list these over the past couple days (it was his first time doing this) so if things are in the wrong place I will be fixing them throughout the evening. Everything should be in the view all section though. Going to take a quick look before the sale!

Good point. Oh well, I guess I'll stick with P.E.N.I.S. :D

I only do that when I am having a few drinks :D

Otherwise, I just call it a personal vaporizer. Security guards don't know what to think sometimes of my REO, and when I say that it almost sounds like a medical device :lol:
