Change the Lingo

[zmauls]

Someone recently posted a thread suggesting that we call what we do with our e-juice "aging" instead of "steeping," and supplied a respectable and logical reason to do so.

I've another one for the vaping world, concerning atomizers.

We use the terms RBA and RDA.

This is confusing, as "RBA" stands for "Rebuildable Atomizer," and "RDA" stands for "Rebuildable Dripping Atomizer."

Both are rebuildable, so could the first not be construed as the second?

We don't say "RGA" for "Rebuildable Genesis Atomizer," so why do it for drippers?

I propose we nominate slightly more specific abbreviations to designate different rebuildables.

Keep "RDA"; it works.

Introduce "RTA"; a "rebuildable tank atomizer."

Introduce "RGA"; a "rebuildable genesis atomizer."

Keep "RBA"; but only if referencing all types of rebuildables in a general referential statement or question.

I'm ok RDA and RBA...I just want people to stop "Rocking" things. "I'm rockin' a iclear on my ego..." I like "using". It doesn't really bother me though...just that I'm old as hell.

I believe he was trying to change it from steeping to aging.

Fixed. Thought that sounded wrong...
