Mission Impossible: Changing the term "steeping" to "aging."

[Coastal Cowboy]

Good morning, dedicated vapers.

Situation: Allowing a recently purchased or recently mixed bottle of e-liquid to rest and reach the desired flavor profile is currently referred to as "steeping." This is inaccurate. Steeping is soaking a solid substance in a liquid in order to extract compounds (usually flavors) or to soften the solid.

The proper term for what we do with new liquids is "aging," and is similar to the process used to make an undrinkable brew turn into a delicious adult beverage.

Your mission, vapers, should you choose to accept it, is to refrain from using the "S" word when referring to the process of aging your e-liquids.

As always, should you or any of fellow vapers be caught or banned, the ECF will disavow any knowledge of your actions.

Good luck, vapers!

Thank you for saying so. I have thought that many times. Even 'resting' would be more accurate.

+1 for "Aging"... ....

while were at it, the word analogs should not be allowed.. I just think its stupid.

Also is what I have in my hand vaping on an "E-Cig" ? Isnt it just a vaporizer?

 

[DDN79]

That's what I have been saying all along, AGING!

The one that gets me is cloning and counterfit. Cloning is making the same thing from the original. Counterfit is just someone stealing the idea and trying to pawn it off as the original while it's really not.

Ive always hated the term analogs. But vaporizer refers to something completely different to most people. I remember that coming up a couple years ago lol

Getting rid of the "analog" term will be the subject of an upcoming episode.

A rose is a rose .......... call it whatever floats your boat.

Now analog is a different matter

A mechanical pv is in fact an analog device, and a regulated pv is possibly a digital device, but not necessarily.

I think the term 'Analog' might be more of a term used by us people who are already vapers. I don't see myself saying to someone who is/was a smoker. " are you off the analogs?"

Wish I hadnt said that yet about Analogs...... Getting back to Aging juices....

I say have a quarter jar and everytime someone writes down "Steeping", they have to put a quarter in the jar. I will keep up with the quarter jar and I will post my address and paypal info soon.......

While we're at it, can we get people to stop saying that they're "nauseous"? As in "36mg nic made me nauseous"?

NAUSEATED.

Thank you.

 

[permafrying]

Both are correct actually... we must remember words adapt.

Vaporizer has been used for that term before e cigs were arround. Dont hate because of peoples choices

I think the gist of this is to make our terms more friendly to the new user. I am all for that. The word "steep" is not intuitive to what it means.

After going roundabout in a court, then driving through a traffic circle called a roundabout, followed by driving on a parkway to park in my driveway, I wondered why we call it driving since a person really pilots an automobile. So imagine my surprise to find a thread about steeping...

As long as you don't put your vehicle on autopilot so that you can drip and drive, you're good.

Mare is right--the gist of the thread is to make our terminology more user friendly for people new to all of this. There's much to learn in the early steps on the VapeQuest^TM so making it easier for newbs to understand what we're talking about is more helpful.

We don't want someone to take a new 30ml bottle of liquid and try to stuff some mint and tea leaves in it.

Unfortunately I don't believe it will ever change. You can consider it e cig slang if you will. Similar to people saying something is cool. That term used to only refer to teperature.

ECF tried to change the term mod to apv with not much success. Look at the ECC. I was watching PBusardo's and other people's coverage of the event and every maker I saw used the word mod.

Feel free to call 'whatever' whatever ya want. Have fun...

agreed. steeping and aging are quite different.

analog is just an unnecessary term imo. cigarettes are called cigarettes. no need to rename a thing that already has a name.

"hey guys, wanna play pitch-hit-and-run?"
"no. we're playing baseball"

Alternative Nicotene Delivery Device- ANDD (pronounced ANDI)-

What do you think? Can it replace PV or Ecig?

If it's not a stick or ego it will always be a mod to me lol. Consider me old school.
