My answer would be 24th April 2008
Reference from slang - Etymology of 'vape' - English Language & Usage Stack Exchange
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):

So I went ahead and used peanut butter, strawberry and almond in this afternoons DIY
Unreal, it's fantastic!
Unreal, it's fantastic!
Details for the mini-contest, people! Take note of the part that says since 2006!
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
