Lets stop calling them "electronic cigarettes"

[BostonVape]

the 'e-cig' term will never go away simply because the FDA and how the media uses the term so much.

good luck trying to get a new universal name to catch.. I'm all for it , but just don't think its going to happen..

Just don't call them "mist sticks" like that Desert News article did last week.

LoL, it's such a hard topic because the real name would be much too long to use in company- healthy electronic tobacco-free nicotine vaporizer. Names like Green Cigarette or Water Vape make people think it's for the OTHER smokers.

Nicotine Mister, anti-cigarette, smoking cessation device, stop smoking stick, NonSmoker... These are all names I've called it to authorities suspicious about them, and people leering at me wondering if I'm smoking in stores.

Anti-pollution healthy green electronic nicotine vaporizors. Aphgenv. Sounds like a sneeze. G'bless you.

Yes, thats the deal as I see it.

I call it my cigarette or ecig. My husband just started vaping full time he calls it his "binky" lol
I agree we should call it something with out the word cigarette in it!

From an eGo to a Provari, mine all came with names. Right now I'm using a Reo.
It's only when I'm using my SB that people might get the wrong impression.

 

[beazy]

I call mine doodad

 

[Jesse13]

I call my mod a Personal Nicotine Vaporizer, or PV for short. Then if i get a weird look I say it's kind of like an electronic cig.

 

[FusionStorm]

Yeah I do agree that the the term e-cig has alot of negativity around it due to the media. I'd say PV is how I use to describe mine.

 

[Andrew Thompson]

I think its something we should try to avoid using ourselves ... at least for anything bigger then the cigalikes... simply to avoid any unneeded stigma around using them... I think pv is the best I have heard myself

 

[Andrew Thompson]

also not a huge fan of the whole having to post 5 times to post anywhere else

 

[james chapman]

I have always called mine, My vape stick.

... What are you saying??? Chinese, are ya? Wrong place for marketing, buddy.

Fasttech's awkwardly charming English translation seems appropriate: "Health keeping set."

 

[Fred Garvin]

I always refer to mine as a Personal Vaporizer. When folks call it an eCig, I correct them. If someone says I'm "smoking and eCig" I politely correct them in the terminology and technology of what is actually happening.

 

[Hitmetwice]

To a smoker it's an e-cig.
To a non-smoker it's my personal vapourizer.

 

[TampaToker69]

I call mine the "lil helper"

 

[Dave Kzoo]

My kids call it my "puffer". I once tried using that term with my adult friends...yeah, didn't go over as well.

 

[Alamedean]

Informally I call it my Binkie.

 

[dagirl4u]

I say my vape. Or to my kids my stop smoking thingie. Sometimes my ego sometimes I refer to the entire unit as my tank. I think the ones that look like cigs are e-cigs and everything else is whatever it is lol
