@SmokeyJoe E-cigarettes were not commercially available until the 21st century, so it is counterintuitive that the wordvape dates to the early 1980s. Its earliest known use is in an article, “Why do People Smoke” in New Society in 1983. The author, Rob Stepney, described a hypothetical device being explored at the time, “an inhaler or ‘non-combustible’ cigarette, looking much like the real thing, but…delivering a metered dose of nicotine vapour. (The new habit, if it catches on, would be known as vaping.)” Thus, it seems that vaping the word existed before vaping the phenomenon.
Is this the correct answer?

No, it is not. Re-read the rules.
SJ asked specifically notion of vape or vaping AFTER year 2006.

There you go, lads and lasses!

Congratulations all!

And, here's a fun bonus contest. Requires a little work and probably favors people with a little Google-Fu....

I'd like to see if we can find the FIRST use of the word "vape" or "vaping" online in the MEOV (modern era of vaping) (i.e. since 2006).

I suspect it's on ECF, but it's quite possible it was used elsewhere - note: this usage must relate to e-cigs and NOT to any other substance!

When you find something credible, please post and tag me @SmokeyJoe in the post

Have fun, and let's see if we can crowdsource an answer

I'll pick a winner who's answer looks most plausible to me!

I'm not worried about post count so much as the "likes" I have been handing out like candy... I don't want to see people loose them, if so, then I wasted my time..

 

[mudmanc4]

Yeah cause I am going through liking posts.. I would hate that it would be for nothing! I think people should keep them, but I am speaking only of my opinion..

And you know what they say about opinions right . DOH haha

@Seleya already re-posted her entry that I was referring to... got the date wrong though.

But that guy is talking about vaping tobacco as in an old reusable Eclipse cig. Those used tobacco and not e-liquid. Not sure if that would count. He said he would try the new 200.00 e-cigarette if it didn't take cartridges and vaped tobacco like the Eclipse.
