Mission Impossible: It's "liquid," not "joose."

Not sure if you're serious, but if you are serious, watch the first minute or so of the following video:

A PBusardo Review & Contest - The Innokin iTaste VTR, holster, and new iClear30s! - YouTube

Thank you and as he said 'that clears that up".

I like to use "Nicotine Infused Simulated Smoking Medium" Just rolls off the tongue.

 

[MrStik]

I am gonna go with "That PG and VG mixture with a proprietary flavoring concoction that may or may not contain nicotine that I drip into my Atomizer that I heat to turn into a vapor" much easier for me to say than juice or Liquid.

I can't wait for the day liquids are turned into electronic devices.

That's nothing, I can't wait for the day that eCig devices are mined directly from the ground, already preassembled. I'm sure the ancient aliens left a few behind.

Just my 2ml, but shorten it more and make it viquid.

I like it. Now how long until some vendor steals the term and uses it as their brand name?

 

[cmdebrecht]

Not to nitpick, but shouldn't it read, "Does everything, and everyone, need to be corrected?"

Please correct me if I'm wrong. Commas are hard.

I spent about 10 minutes considering this as well. (No, I don't get out much.) I settled on not using a comma because "and everyone " is not an independent clause. It is also an essential element in the sentence, which does not call for the use of a comma.

But we call all agree on the term "Vooping" right??

 

[Galactic Stone]

When people ask about my PV, I say it is a "nicotine vaporizer". I want to be clear right from the get-go that the funky-looking thing I am inhaling from has nothing to do with illegal drugs.

Vaping, juice, steeping. A vape by any other name is just as satisfying (so long as you built your coil and wick right)

I probably use too many commas. I figure I can do it now, and apologize later. Too many commas are better than no commas at all.

Commas... commas everywhere...

I'm a commaholic too; also known to abuse a semicolon every now and then.

I usually call my PV a...well...PV. Or an APV. Sometimes mod. I like to have a steam after meals. Well, actually I steam all the time. But the after dinner steam is one of the best. Never did like the term "vape" but I guess we're stuck with it. I think fluid might work. No girly magazine connotations like joose ...and no confusion with a sippy cup drink like juice. And fluid doesn't always have nicotine in it. So I'm in favor of skipping "nic" or "nicotine" in the fluid's name.

That is EXACTLY what I called my system when the security guard at the courthouse asked me, "whiskey tango foxtrot is this, pal?"

Don't ask me why I was at the courthouse today. That's a topic for a different sub-forum.

 

[LeoRex]

Call it whale piss... won't matter to me.

 

[supermarket]

Nah, juice is more fun. E-liquid is too clunky.


How about nectar or ambrosia?

Yep, I'm going to call it juice, and nothing will change that.

The fact that Americans have to worry about what nicknames they give a harmless product, for fear of "our" government banning them from consenting adults, shows you have seriously deranged our country has gotten.

No thanks, I will continue to call things by whatever name I see fit. Juice works just fine, and I think has a good sound to it!

Mission Impossible: stop telling other people how they may refer to their own things that they bought and paid for with their own money and/or lovingly mixed themselves.

 

[supermarket]

I really don't get why people feel the need to force others to use certain words, or not use certain words. Personally, I like the term juice and will continue to use it.

Amen.


If the government is going to ban or regulate e-cigs, they are gonna do it. The best we can do, is continue to vape, write to our representatives as needed, and be vocal about our support for vaping. Oh , and spread the word.

Anything else is going to have little effect. I'm not going to get down on my knees, and starting using alternative terminology, because it might sound more politically correct, or whatever. No thanks!

..........I like to steep my juice. It makes it gooder.
