Lexicon?

[Scholar]

I believe we've all experienced at some point the embarrassment, confusion or "What the **** did he just say?" moment of not understanding some or all vape specific words in a conversation. Especially for newbies, it's important to have an understanding of the lingo as not to feel like outsiders. I was wondering. Why isn't there a lexicon? A vaper's dictionary and glossary of terms? If there currently is one, I can't find it. Maybe nobody's taken the time to compile one yet. -hint-

Thanks to Susan~S, I found this! http://guidetovaping.com/2012/06/13/a-z-e-cig-glossary/

A valid point. There are some definitions in the InfoZone. Others are shown underlined and if you hover your mouse over them they will show expanded information: e.g. Atty, PG, VG.

However, there's so many abbreviations and even make/model specific jargon, that its hard for newbies in particular. Very "clique"-like. This is often true in sub-cultures. :/

If there are certain common ones in particular that you think would help newbies, maybe comment in the feedback section so they can "underline-define" them.

While the underline-defined words are very useful, a lexicon would still be advantageous for someone who heard a new/interesting word in a B&M, from a fellow vaper, et cetera. Basically, if a word was heard outside of the ECF, a reference text could be useful, and it would eliminate the need to actively ask to find the definition of a word or phrase.

Yes, I like that. I'm new at this, started in April and there are lots of words used in the vaping community that I dont get.

Great resource! I'll link to the lexicon in my original post. While not all inclusive, it blows everything I've seen out of the water!
