Niquid

[Phroge]

I vote for Nicquid as the generic word for the fluid we put into our PVs. The word can easily be modified to indicate the strength of the fluid by prefixing a numeral as in 0Nicquid or 24Nicquid. If needed, was can also append another number to the word to indicate the VG content of the mixture, as in 24Nicquid50 for a 50/50 blend of 24mg nicotine PG/VG or 0Nicquid0 for 100% PG with no nicotine. Double zeros as in 18Niquid00 would show pure VG at 18mg.

So... who is going to call the Standards Board to make this official?

+1. I like it. Niquid. Why did that take so long?

I like it, but refuse to use it if it has been trademarked. Anyone know?

So are we going with nicquid or niquid, lets make this official lol.

Actually as I google the word, I see several vendors already using the term "niquid"

Have you started a poll yet?

 

[Sandrita]

Niquid. Well done cool name I like it!

Eh, it's no worse than ordering a soda down here in the south.

Texan to a waitress: "I want a coke"
The waitress of course inquires: "What kind?"
Inevitably the answer is : "Dr. Pepper"

See?

Nicquid!

LOL!! Learned my lesson on that one! Moved to Wisconsin for a couple of years from Texas. Asked the waitress what kind of cokes they had and she said 'coke and diet coke' and I wanted Dr Pepper!! Gotta love the South!!
P.S. Moved back to Texas when the last winter there got down to 50 below zero without the windchill! Time to go home!!

Silly Moonsbabe, Texans can't live at those constant temperatures. We require things to be alternately scorching hot and moderately cool in varying degrees of alternation, occasionally within 5 minutes of one another in order to thrive.

I will start a formal poll thread later on today regarding "nicquid"

 

[Religion]

Without the c. Niquid for the win!

 

[wazzup592]

That'll be in the poll with or without the c. I think with the c#@ it stands pit more that nicotine is in it, as in nicotine liquid. Whereas niquid looks as though it could be mistaken for a brand name IMO

 

[wazzup592]

I have officially changed the name from e-liquid to nicquid in my personal vocab. I suggest you do the same!

 

[wazzup592]

Can no longer edit the first post. VOTE HERE! http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...icquid-if-so-what-spelling-would-you-use.html

Interestingly enough (because I have a strange mind) all I could think reading this was "This is why Edo splintered off from Esperanto"...

I did a Google search for Niquid and found it sold by an outfit called Fumo (the Esperanto word for smoke).

As far as Nicquid.. Well, the first 3 hits were for people selling Nicquid (2 were the same site) the 4th was for this very thread! And then, under that, forum posts going back to 2008 using the term, but it seems to have fallen into disuse.

I say we bring it back!

 

[Steelrat]

After seeing this post, I've now seen Nicquid being used all over the place! I was even at an E-Cig booth and overheard somebody using it. Hilarious!!! NICQUID IS IN!

 

[wazzup592]

Awesome! Haha

This definitely makes sense. I've started using it. For some reason I can remember to type it more easily than I can to say it, but am making the effort.

I agree that in most cases one shouldn't get up in arms about terminology in general, but there are cases in which common usage makes a huge difference in the perceived context. In this case, the biggest reason I have for shifting to "nicquid" is to give those who would proscribe PV use on baseless assumptions and accusations less ability to lie further about them being "marketed to children".
