I know it was just an oversight but it's high time we go ahead and get it fixed:
MM = MastiffMike

Carto = cartomizer
Clearo = clearomizer
HV = high voltage (in this case 5 or more volts I think)
SR = standard resistance
under general forum abbs
DH = dear husband
DW = dear wife
DS = dear son
DD = dear daughter
(in some forums, dear is replaced with Disney)

What does OHM mean (in the context of an EGO atomizer)... I started browsing a new supplier and I noticed that they offer various atomizers with differing "OHM's" (ie. 1.5ohm, 2.5ohm). Any help info regarding this would be greatly appreciated
Its a measure of electical resistance

Ahh Thank you .
So I'm assuming a higher OHM is better considering it costs more?

Nope, the Ohm rating doesn't mean one is better than another. In a nutshell (and ignoring all the multitude of factors!), the lower the rating the warmer the vape (though possibly the less flavor as well as more vapor).
With a 3.7 volt battery I find a lower Ohm rating (1.5-1.8) gives a more analog vape. Using 2 batteries at 7.4volts I'd use a high resistance, like 2.5-3.0 Ohm.
Wattage or Power = voltage squared divided by resistance
So as an example:
6.845 Watts = 3.7volts/2.0Ohms
Thanks. I'm new here and the abbreviations really helped me decode the vaper lingo
Could also stand for New Guy and the adult version thereof.
thank you... i was going nuts trying to figure out if i had a cartomizer... i'm using a dse 801 so I guess that answer is no! Seemed like too simple of a question to ask someone and look silly, lol. So I'll just tell on myself in this thread... lol
Seemed like too simple of a question to ask someone and look silly, lol. So I'll just tell on myself in this thread... lolSorry if any one all ready asked this but, I was seeking info on wiring for my DIY atti and I came across this "HD Vapor". One forum member asked another if he/she was an HD Vapor. What does mean?

"HD" in this context might just mean "heavy duty".
And please allow me to pick a nit: to me, a person vaping is a "vaper" who is enjoying "vapor".

And to contribute more directly to this (very good) thread: how about:
"WTA" (as opposed to "WTF"), or "Whole Tobacco Alkaloids".
From Whole Tobacco Alkaloid Eliquid WTA Aroma Ejuice
"What is Whole Tobacco Alkaloids e-liquid (WTA)?
WTA contains minor tobacco alkaloids along with nicotine in the form of a traditional e-liquid. The process used to purify nicotine from tobacco for traditional E-juice is rather specific in that it isolates the nicotine with very few traces of other tobacco alkaloids. The WTA extraction method includes these other alkaloids.
Why is WTA being produced?
Some vapers find that substituting e-cigarettes for smoking is not an equivalent experience. They fail to feel the same physiological effects and don’t reach the same satiation levels. For some, this makes it harder to transition to e-cigarettes or to refrain from smoking. The primary purpose of WTA is to provide the “missing satisfaction”, thus helping those struggling with cigarette cravings while vaping.
Is WTA addictive?
Due to the additional alkaloids present, WTA liquid may be more addictive than an eliquid
containing only nicotine. Research generally focuses on the addictive nature of nicotine, so
a definite conclusion is difficult to reach. Certainly with WTA's ability to provide greater
satisfaction than an e-liquid containing only nicotine, it is possible that one may develop a
psychological, if not a physiological, dependence on the substance that provides that
satisfaction".
I have read that the addictiveness of nicotine is increased when it is accomanied by MAOI's (monoamine oxidase inhibitors), which are abundantly present in tobacco. I don't know it for a fact, but I suspect that WTA contains MAOI's.
We now return you to your regularly scheduled programming.
808, 510, thread, bridged atty, unbridged atty, bottom feeder, tank, polyfill, single coil, dual coil, multimeter, vv/variable voltage, wick...that's all I can think of for now. I know that would have helped me out a lot when I first started. If I repeated something you already had on here I'm sorry!
