Great an English class.............:blink:

I never understand people:

Check out My Vape!

1) I'm expecting a Cloud
2) They hold up a Mod
:unsure:
Ummm....................That is your Mod, you Vape it.

Yea, it's My new Vape......

:facepalm:

To be more technically correct, almost no PV, (not even mechs), should be called a "mod", (short for modified), anymore, as they are now purpose-built devices.

I like to use "vape" to refer to my vaporizer.. and also as a verb to describe what I do with it. ;)

Offering it to your best buddy's wife to have a go on it could be a problem if called that.

Good point. If you were alone with her and said, "Hey, wanna suck on my p..."?, and she started taking down your pants, what would you do? :?:

I s'pose it depends on how good of a friend he is... :D

I think it's more a question of ease to say.

Technically, it's not just a mod, but tank too. So saying "vape" instead of "mod and tank vaping kit!" is a bit easier.

I'd think someone wanting you to see their cloud, they'd say cloud?

That's just me.
When I refer to it as "mod", non-vapers go "What?, Huh?" When I say "vape", they know exactly what it means.

Grumpy ole men... :)

I'm a vaper who enjoys vaping on my vaporizer that emits vapor. Nothing I use looks like a cigarette. Ta dah! :) Having gotten old and slow, I sometimes ask, "Where'd I put my thingy?" Ha!
Hahaha, you too? I've noticed lots of words I can't quickly recall have been renamed, "thingy's"![emoji12] [emoji23] [emoji28] [emoji36]

I call my mod my joyous steam powered thunderstick of fruity vape goodness.
When I vape, I am vaping.
When someone pisses me off and/or I feel powerless to do anything about the incredible injustices in the world, I wish I had super powers and could vaporize an entire city block with my awesome powers in order to take them out. But then I think about the collateral damage and just have a vape and calm down and think about how cool it would be to just be able to fly. Yeah. Flying would be cool We need to work on that. Then, when I would be flying, the happy, joyous contented people would be like "Hey, look at that guy flying! He looks so happy! You go happy flying man!" And the bitter trolls who roam the earth would be like "Hey, look at that fat guy flying! You should wear a Good Year suit, ya blimp!" Then I could drop things on them with no collateral damage.
I'm not sure this really addressed anyone's concerns, but it definitely raised a smile, so thank you.

Of course the word car is short for 'horseless carriage' which is a bit of an anachronism too. So language evolves, and sometimes it is pleasing to you, and sometimes it isn't.

I am happy with the word 'vape' as a noun. When people use the word transition as a verb, however, it makes me bristle a bit.
 
Guys thanks a lot for your replies.
The reason I asked that silly question is that one of the admins in the biggest Vaping group in Egypt (10,000 members) on Facebook was insisting that NO BODY in the world is calling the setup a "vape"!

And he deleted the posts of all the members who contradicted him and banned them.

When I posted your kind replies in a post in the above mentioned group as one of the proofs, my post was deleted and I was banned as well!!!

Thanks for your kindness and your replies.

Vape on!
P.s.: My setup is Melo 2 tank and Cuboid mod

Hope you're enjoying your Melo 2 tank as much as I, my wife and my daughter do ours... And btw, the coils are very easy to rebuild... if you get some of the Vaperasso ceramic ones, they are even better to rebuild.

Enjoy your "Vape/puffer/thingy!"

Greetings from Sharm!
Thanks a lot for the advice
I saw some videos on YouTube explaining how to rebuild the ready made coils.

People here are still struggling to get the vapes, liquids and other stuff because importing Vaping stuff is still not allowed!
I make my own DIY liquid.
