39 seconds into Chels' video, and I think it might become klear.
Haha I haven't seen a video! Time to go look I guess.
Don't be knockin' my buttons, Lolz Jim! And nice mod, by the way.
Kat! How are your buttons? Everything firing?
For now, yep, all firing fine, thank you very much!
(silly man)Only just saw this.
My assumption on "Ex-Vo-Stick" was made thinking the V was uppercase, which seems I'm wrong about. lol
I'd still lean towards "ex" over "zeh" simply due to it not preceding a vowel or Y.
But it could be anything, even maybe something Hebrew?
Good leanings, vaka. I'm still unsure but I have taken this to the highest source, and requested a full lesson in pronunciation. Hopefully we'll all be saying it in unison soon!

Oh yeah....... krystalline!
@Yozhik, "Kh-Voy-Stik"? How is the "Kh" pronounced, please? Is it a gutteral "chhh" as in "Achtung"? Or does it have some form of the English pronunciation of "X"? (can I just call it the Oy Stik?)
It's a sound that does not really exist in English, so, it's tough to say, but h sound in Achtung comes close so it's "hvostic" for all intents and purposes.
The "X" phoneme in that word is a voiceless velar frictive. So what does that mean? First, the sound is made without the larynx, it's just the stoppage and flow of air that makes the sound. As to pronouncing it, the phoneme starts with a quick, soft "kuh/guh"-like sound with the tongue at the back of the throat (velar), then moves to the (frictive) "h" sound via the palate. If you skip the velar part, Russians will usually understand you, as the other phoneme associated with the grapheme "X" is more like the English "h" sound.
So, uhm, yeah... hvostic is ok as Rodsky said, so long as you pronounce the first vowel like "voy".
XvoStick is an amalgamation of Russian and English and should be read as khvostik (Kha (Cyrillic)).
I feel I have enough expertise to settle this issue as I speak Russian language fluently and Chels is a Russian immigrant in Israel.
XvoStick logo is a donkey with a pipe in the mouth and it points to the character in Winnie-the-Pooh, Eeyore the donkey, who has a detachable tail and the 'khvost' means a tail in Russian. Also, the cartoon Winnie-the-Pooh (1969 film) is a dear memory for anyone born in Soviet Union.

Thanks, Dobo.
This thread is doing more for international relations than Reagan and Gorbachev could have ever hoped for.

Well, they had to stick in the "stick" into it as their entire line of vaporizer products has the "stick" in it
. I also speak Russian fluently . The Russians on ecigtalk.ru just call it Хвост I got two of them and now thinking of selling my microstick as regulated does give a much better vape than a mech. Btw, it's a very solid product and the DNA 40 chip in it is behaving very well. Can't say the same for the two rDNA 40 vaporsharks that I have.
It is an irony that your forum name also seems to be based one of my beloved cartoon characters, just as XvoStick mod name is
For anyone that doesn't know, Yozhik means small hedgehog in Russian as his avatar shows. Also, there's a famous Russian cartoon Hedgehog in the Fog which many consider (myself included) as one of the best animated films ever made.

In Russian, the mod is called ХвоСтик and that is pronounced like "Kh-Voy-Stik". It's also a bit of a play on meaning, as Хвоcтик means "little tail" or "pony tail", which goes well with their mascot.
Even the Japanese adore this cartoon "Ёжик в тумане".It is an irony that your forum name also seems to be based one of my beloved cartoon characters, just as XvoStick mod name is

Dang, someone called me out.
There's a high quality version of hedgehog in the fog on YouTube, in case anyone wants to watch it. It is a great animation classic. My personal favorite of Russian animation is Nu Pogodi! It's like the Russian version of Tom and Jerry, if it was about a hooligan wolf that smokes, plays guitar, causes all sorts of trouble, and occasionally decides to chase a hare.
