I call it (and will continue to call it) a PV or personal vaporizer. I tell people I vape now instead of smoke.
Can we come to a conclusion on a name?

In light of todays vote we should call them Obama Bashers.
We could say "e-smokes, They're vapor-ific"

I guess not, although it probably wouldn't be any worse for me than cigarettes were.
To tell you the truth, I think I'm just too old to get caught up in trendy catch-phrases. I still smoke cigarettes, I've just changed brands. Now I smoke electronics.

I understand the entire e-cig communities need to distance "vaping" from traditional smoking in the publics eyes, but to me any word with "vape" in it carries a lot of herbal connotations if you catch my drift. Like if I were to tell people who asked me "What kinda contraption is that in your hand?", and I tell them "Oh, well it's why personal vaporizer!" Honestly, doesn't that sound a little funky? Maybe I've just been linguistically contaminated from being around regular vaporizers i.e. volcano, vapor brothers (stick your ejuice in those and get a REAL throat hit! haha!)
Hows about a smokeless cigarette? i know that's lame, but type "Vape" or "Vaporizer" in google and you'll find that the majority of the results are (a'hem) herbal related... The words been taken! and I personally don't think it's quite the right view that we'd want portrayed to the public for ecigs to gain full acceptance and to be deemed 'acceptable' in places where analogs are banned... to my understanding ecigs still remain in a grey zone - You can vape anywhere only because its still so new that no laws have been passed to restrict where you use it

I vouche for an indepednent name from both inhalers, vaporizers, and cigarettes. something totally neutral. Its not quite like any of those things anyway. Cigarette is a cigarette and as many first time users discovered to their disapointment, this isn't a cigarette. Inhaler makes me feel like I have asthma and I'm scared of medicine. Vaporizer sounds like aliens use it to kill people. The FDA will never approve a device aliens built to kill people with. Something totally new is required.
Wippityscoop?
Snagledabit?
Puffermabob? Oh! I like that one! It kind of makes sense. Puffermabob. All those in favor say aye! All who oppose? *nay*...
