lol i can only find some stupid stuff in internet. If i go back to 2006 its all about drugs. A lot of things changed since them.

I'll give you a hint. The word was used LONG before ECF came into existence.

Yea but trying to find it is the trick

 

[MoonLit_Water]

Well I did find the first time PBusardo used a form of the the term "vape"

I believe the actual trick is to find it mentioned AFTER 2006, if I understand SJ's post correctly.

Usenet and forums
vape as in a vaporizer can be found at least as early as 1998, probably much earlier. Unsurprisingly, it's much more recent when referring to relatively new e-cigarettes. Here's an April 24, 2008 post on e-cigarette-forum.com:

"vaping" is just a fancy way to avoid the term "smoking", since smoking is illegal everywhere and these things don't burn anything and don't produce second-hand smoke.

The earliest I found on this forum is from the forum founder pondering in an early post on December 18, 2007:

Well it's not smoking....So what is it?

"E-smoking" is a bit of a handful, "Misting" sounds far too fey, "Vaporizing" or "Vaping" has drug connotations.

There must be a better word for my new hobby! Suggestions?

A few months later, someone else was happy to use vape in a March 2, 2008 post:

I have received both my Sedansa and Njoy ciggies. I would say they are pretty much identical in both appearance and usage. I can interchange the filter cartridges as well as the batteries between the two. They vape about the same. I can drip in both cigs, whether into the atomizer or into the filter. I really like them both.

The e-cig minicig from .......... sucks -- and I don't mean literally. I can't get anything out of them. I don't like their pipe either. It vapes plenty; you just can't inhale and exhale much of anything. I am sending back the pipes and minicigs to ........... I have now ordered ..........'s regular e-cigarette. Hopefully that is more like the Sedansa and the Njoy cigs.

And the same user later that day:

How about you? How are you doing with your ratio smoking/vaping? Are you dripping?

It's now been accepted by the online e-cig community. On the top of every page is a current appeal to vaping Europeans and Americans (along with a safety recall for a device called SLB Vapros V1):

Well you beat me with that Dec. 18 2007 I think this going to be the Date to beat Good Luck
