I prefer not to use "cig" at all in reference to these gizmos, but I'm into solar and they use the term "PV" to refer to solar panels.
I tell people its my 'personal nicotine inhaler'... The personal means they cant have a draw off it, and the nicotine inhaler part makes it sound medicinal. Hehehe
Someone here used to refer to the PV as there idiot detector or something to that affect...
Same here but i say, "its my nebulizer". Working in a medical facility, most people that ask me about it get the idea right off the bat with the term.
Depends on who I'm talking to and why. Friends who are smokers it's an e-cig because it suggests that it actually can replace cigarettes. Unfortunately when I created the petition I did use the term e-cig though I hate it as an actual formal name since they really aren't cigarettes, however that's the name they are marketed as and I wanted people to be able to find it and know what the petition was all about. If a non-smoker asks me in person I say personal vaporizer or personal nicotine inhaler as a method of ensuring that they keep an open mind.
PV-but I only use mods, so ecig just sounds rediculous bc it looks nothing like one 
PV or Mod or just call it by its given name - Prodigy,Chuck,GGT etc... If someone ask me what it is I reply with the name of the one I'm vaping then explain how they can also get one that looks and has the feel of a real cig if there interested.
I call it an Electronic Nicotine Inhaler (ENI) or an Electronic Nicotine Vaporizer (ENV).
I really try to avoid calling in an Electronic Cigarette

Either Electronic Cigarette, or Personal Vaporizer (or derivatives thereof).
The one thing I refuse to call it (& I wish others wouldn't too as it seems to be the will of one person that we should all do it) is E-NI
A. Because the abbreviation sounds silly
&
B. Because Electronic Nicotine Inhalator sounds like a medicinal device, which clearly it is not & the powers that be would be down on us like a ton of bricks if it was marketed as such.
(quite like the sound of Electronic Nicotine Vaporizer though)

in an old thread someone called it a Personal Electronic Nicotine Inhaling System
of course not many would want to put it in their mouth then... I know I wouldn't
