Well if we truly want to call em something that sends a warm fuzzy message why not call em cookies?? Cookies are great you know 
In all seriousness though I personally don't care what they're called, you could call em poop for all it matters to me.
I think calling them e-cigs or electronic cigarettes is good for marketing them to existing smokers and converting more and more people away from analogs. Honestly the technology involved is what piked my interest back in the beginning. The whole health thing is just a side effect
From my perspective electronic ________ suggests a better alternative to the original. Sitting here right this moment I can't think of a single thing where the electronic version isn't a better improved version of the original.....
Nope.. still nothing... electronic doors, locks, screwdrivers, pencil sharpeners, drills, saws, windows, all are better than their manual or "analog" counterparts. I really don't see the issue with calling them electronic cigarettes.... now the whole vaping/smoking thing I would think has always been the standard to call it vaping ... but then maybe I'm missing something.. my coffee & nicotine levels are still fairly low this morning so I may not be up to par yet.... If I said something stupid... let me know lol

Okay, okay, I LUV the name "Vaporette". It's one word, does NOT contain anything related to smoking or cigarettes. I would like to get as far away from cigarette related stigma as possible. BTW, the credit for that word goes to someone else, I did not come up with it. Credit goes to Kathyst.
Vaporette says it all

You know, it's technically not really vapor. If you can see it, it's probably a colloid, which makes it mist.
Mistette? How horrid.

Smoke -> Smoking
thus
Vapor -> Vaporing
further
Cigar -> Cigarette
thus
Vaporizer -> Vaporette
Those are the terms I'm adopting.

Exactly. That's why "vaporette" is infinitely superior.
Yeah, I'm not totally comfortable with "misting" either. Too reminiscent of a cat "spraying".
It totally should be. Who came up with it? I think I may have been the first to mention it (in another thread) but it's so obvious, I assume it's been floating around long before I hit the scene.
Vaporette. It just sounds cool. I like it a lot.
I choose to keep the name e-cigarette. vaporizer and inhaler makes it sound like i have a medical condition. Also i first chose to smoke because it was considered cool and I still consider myself a smoker.
I haven't read through more then half of these posts, so please excuse me if I'm repeating already rejected terms. Just throwing some things out here, regardless of the legality of patents and such. This is the terminology I prefer.
What I call it depends on the audience.
Police, doctor, HR person: nicoteen inhaler. It keeps me from smoking.
To friends and family: vaporizer, nick stick or mini-fogger.
To my congressman: electronic cigarette.
The juice is, well, just "juice". Could be e-juice I guess.
I'm a vapor. I like to vape. Vaping keeps me from smoking.
Just my 2 cents, your mileage may vary, <instert disclaimer here>

Smoking cessation aid. Tell a non smoker that you are using a smoking cessation aid to quit cigarettes. This tends to get the non smoker behind you and they tend to be GLAD to see you using it!.
e-cig, for smokers that are curious. An opportunity to help another smoker switch to a vapor.

Oh I like inhaler too or v inhaler, n inhaler. Misting....fogging, steaming, lol. Need to get a cool name that will catch on with people. Something unassuming and nonthreatening.
I think it's ironic, the Chinese trying to market them wanted to bring the focus to "cigarette", now we're trying to put the focus on something a little more away from the cigarette, so may be a little late for a "new" label. I like PV, and use it, myself.
Ummm, that could be construed, also, I think! Reminds me of sherids' avatar!
OH I think I like the name Vaporette as well. I thought about Vamping but that is with vampires. LOL. I guess I could get by using that one if I was vaping with some fangs put in. Ha ha
SIN has already stated in another thread that he purchased and registered the name vaporette six months ago and has a product known as the vaporette in the works right now
