Term nicotine vape versus e-cig

[keelalagirl55]

Nope. Just nope.

Well, answering with that, you definitely won't get the same "those things are worse than smoking" "don't those things explode" etc etc.

Welcome to the "Inside", Surf! Haven't seen you in a while outside the Outside.

Right? Last month I think he was in here and I had to check if I accidentally was Out there, haha.

Recently I was watching a tv show where the star was told he could not smoke in a California restaraunt but he saw another person using a vape pen. He says "but that guy can use that thing, whatever it is?"

The story line is apparently set at a time when vaping was fairly new. So later he is shown relaxing in his easy chair at home and he was puffing on a pen when his wife enters the room. She says "you look all relaxed, what is that"? enquiring about his vape pen. He told her "it's a nicotine vape, it's all the rage here in LA". Later he was smoking again.

So it caused me to ponder "what if?". What if early on the term nicotine vape would have stuck, not e-cig, digital cigarette and all those "cigarette" terms?
To me, the thing we do is nothing like an e-cig anymore. Even cig-a-like are largely shaped like a carpenter pencil. And big ole mechs look like a flashlight.

Is it too late to use a different term when referring to say, an Aegis Legend kit? Realizing the name of this forum uses the word cigarette, I just wonder if those times we are out in public enjoying a tastey puff or making a storm cloud and someone asks "what's that?" Do we call it an e-cig anymore?

What's your favorite term these days?
Since seeing that scene on my tv I call them "nicotine vape" now.

I've wondered at times if gubmint would've let us Be if we didn't look like we were trying to make a substitute. Probably not.
Selling them as a dietary aid to keep from over-eating? An air-freshener? Nicotine optionally to be added in your own home, if desired.

Mrs. States call her gear "hookah". Honey have you seen my hookah?" "Can you loan me a hookah battery while mine charges?" etc.

I call mine a vape, nic doesn't apply because my juice doesn't have it.

My next door neighbour calls it a ... Steam Machine.
My Dear Mom calls it a ... Glass Pipe.

My personal physician calls my vape a water pipe. I spent a good deal of time explaining to him about how e-cigarettes work by making water vapor and how I was able to quit smoking using one. By the end of our conversation I watched him write in my chart, "Patient has quit smoking using a water pipe".
