It's not fixing, it's evolution. Vaping is still so very young it is good to let the terminology evolve with it imo. Stagnation is deadly and oh so boring.
Vaping is anything but stagnate. The ones that came before have already set terminology standards, sorry if you don't like it and find it boring. At least everyone understood it.

The standards are not appropriate or doesn't cover much of the new technologies. And no the new vaper's don't understand much of it because they are hearing and reading the evolved terminology. Do humans of today still use the same terms as was used 100 years ago? No because language evolves with each generation and advances.

I thought an ohm was still called an ohm, and watts are still watts so I am not sure what exactly you are referring to. The basic principals have not changed. What you call them might, but it does not change the way it works. Besides, I thought we we talking DIY ingredients. Are you going to start calling milliters, cc's now? I know its the same thing, but do most people?

Education is what new vapers need, not new terminology. That is the only reason new vapers are confused. We were all new once and had to learn.

I don't like it but I can understand why people are calling things that aren't genisis tanks gennies, I blame the manufacturer for jumping on a popular name that is outdated to sell something new.
I don't understand why TFA/TPA would need to change. The Flavor/Perfumer's Apprentice is still the same name, FlavourArt is still the same name. TFA could be PA but not FA.

Lots of people just dropped the PA and The Perfumer's Apprentice because vaping flavors that was made by a place that makes perfume's isn't very appetizing. Even tho the company still makes both type of products. LOL To see it being used brings back memories.

Yes, and I think NR started that stuff. I had ordered flavors from them from TPA and the bottles are marked as Fa. Talk about confusing......don't know who really started this but I think it was totally unnecessary......and not funny in the least.

:)
I think you're right. NR, or whoever they get their 120 ml bottles from labelled TFA as Fa.

That doesn't make it right. It doesn't even make sense. Like someone else here said, if you insist on making it into only 2 letters instead of 3, PA would make more sense.

But, I like TFA instead. It just makes more sense and has always been that way. Fa and FA just confuses the issue. There's no need to force extra confusion unnecessarily.

I thought it depended on what country you were in.
TPA has always annoyed me.

I haven't been mixing anything. I've been packing instead. I'm moving this weekend.

I'm not sure where all my DIY stuff is going to go in the new place. It's a little smaller. My flavorings can still go in the refrigerator. But, the rest?

Exactly. I don't understand the need to change the 'Standards' as they apply to everyone who vapes. Not just a select few who decides that standards are inappropriate because that is what is listed first on their bottles. I 'get' the fact that the younger generation are preferring higher VG in the juice to make bigger clouds, etc. And of course, a vendor selling those products will cater to them to make the bucks. But they sway to the fads of today and will adapt to whichever way the wind blows. And make no mistake about it, they go where they can make the money and have no vested interest in helping anyone who wants to make their own.

Picked up a few Cap flavors. My excuse being so I can make some recipes y’all posted: ny cheesecake, harvest berry, Greek yogurt, and juicy orange. I’m hoarding a backlog of flavors to test at this point. But, I want to try a cheesecake. Just sounds good

So we aren't coming at this from the same pov. My only point is language is always evolving and some changes will stick, you accept them or swim upstream against them. I chose acceptance and move on. Fighting it isn't going to force the changes back into the box. I am not bothered by changing to Fa as that is now the brand name. This is the name the vendors have started using and I personally think the forums should use it for new mixers so they don't get confused as to what they mean to order. I never said anyone or thing was boring. I did say stagnation is boring.
