Is there a glossary?

[Jim1949]

I am brand new at this;I just bought my first e-cigarette yesterday and started looking for more information. This seems like a great place to learn stuff, but I am lost in the alphabet soup that comes with any new enterprise. I really can't understand anything anyone is saying. Is there a glossary, or an introductory resource that will help me make more sense out of what I am reading? I really want to learn and to participate, but I need help with the learning curve.

Many thanks.

A lot of the glossary is built into ECF. On many posts, you'll see an underlined word. If you mouse over that word/acronym, the definition will pop up.

Like PG and VG. Mouse over those and you'll see what they mean.

Welcome to the forums, and glad to meet you.

Here is some info compiled all in one thread by another helpful member:

I asked the exact same question a few days ago! It really is alphabet soup!! Look for my thread from a few days ago and the replies. Some really helpful info!

Good luck!

Have a look here: A - Z E-Cig Glossary | Guide To Vaping

That's one of my favourite glossaries of terms out there. Also, a lot of terms and abbreviations are defined within the ECF forums. Every now and then you'll notice a word underlined; if you hover over the underlined words in posts on the forum, you'll get a definition pop up. Note: As far as I know this feature does NOT work on tablets (at least not in Safari on iOS), in which case the above link should help you.

Also: check out the stickies in the New Members Forum (the threads "pinned" to the top) - these contain a lot of newbie friendly information.

The glossary I need isn't so much the technical terms and design of how a variable voltage item works and the guts of it, etc. What is killing me is the shorthand used in the forums. MVP, VW, TPC, TPA, OSR with a SRN attached in series. This is over exaggeration, but to a new guy just getting their toes wet for the first time, this is confusing as hell. Old-timers reading these things understand what is meant but to a guy who just put their name on the registration, it's mind baffling. When I first came to this forum, I was googling TFA to find out what that meant.
