Bringing forward for those just coming in.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!
