Random Poll--What do you call it??

[JudeD]

Spending most of this morning reading through the pet peeves thread, I noticed that many members have a problem with the language used to describe this thing we all do. Some objected to the word cigarette being anywhere in the description, some thought personal vaporizer sounded like a sex toy, some hated being called vapers or describing it as vaping, and there was a lot of talk about not using the words toot, toke, drag, etc. when describing the inhale. Others hated hearing tobacco cigarettes called analogs.

So I thought it might be fun to get some suggestions on what language members would like to see used.

What words would you all use to describe these things--

A tobacco cigarette

The act of inhaling nic juice

The people who inhale nic juice

The device used for inhaling nic juice

Nic juice

And anymore related terms you can come up with.

A squonk?? What the heck is that? I haven't heard that one yet. That can't catch on because I hate any word with a "q" in it. Slows down my typing.

 

[AttyPops]

Squonk (verb): to squeeze a bottom feeder bottle to fill the atty with e-juice.

a cigarette
vaping
vapers
pv
niquid

the only word i can't stand is squonk.

Ditto this except usually call it juice or e-juice. Have used niquid too, though infrequently.
PV, APV, Mod (all the same to me... well, PV vs APV/Mod is a bit diff, but......)

P.S.

Other mix-ups I can't stand:
Vapor = what we inhale, exhale.
Vaper = person that vapes.

I'm good with cigarette.

The device used for inhaling nic juice

Miniature fog machine.

Nic juice

Fog juice.

In spite of my preference for referring to the vaper as fog...
I still wouldn't be cool with saying I was fogging.

Are you foggin' kidding me? What the fog's up with that? There is no foggin' way I'm walking into a restaurant and asking, "Does anyone here mind if I fog?" Nor will I walk into a fogmeet and ask, "How are you foggers doing?"

I am too much of a lady.

Depends on my company. On the ECF (I don't know any vapers in my personal life), I say:
- Analogue
- Vaping
- Vapers
- PV
- liquid ("juice" is something that comes from a fruit, berry, or plant... )

Around everyone else in my life, coworkers, smokers, friends... I say
- cigarette
- smoking
- eSmoker
- ecigarette
- nicotine liquid
.... otherwise people have no flippin idea what I'm talking about.

 

[inter_ceptor00]

I think its best to call our PVs electronic cigarettes or e-cigarettes when we are introducing them to people new to vaping. It is simple and accurate and non-threating to the newbie or non-smoker. Just my dos centavos on what to call them.

 

[DantesInferno]

A tobacco cigarette--a cigarette or a square. On the forum everyone says an analog.

The act of inhaling nic juice----vaping

The people who inhale nic juice-----vapers

The device used for inhaling nic juice---ecig (ones that look like cigarettes), ego (for any ego like device), and I call mine an APV or my proV.

Nic juice---juice, e liquid

Yeah, that would go over REALLY well with John Q public. 'Excuse me, but do you mind if I puff my PENIS?

 

[liquidator]

1. Tobacco cigarette. Here in the UK we have a word for it that has a completely different meaning in the US. It is a word I use the most verbally because over here it is not derogative, I do not use it on this forum for that reason, instead I use cig because analogue is too clinical for me!

2. The act of inhaling juice. Toking.

3. People that inhale juice. Vapers.

4. Device for inhaling juice. Ecig.

5. Nic juice. Nic juice.
