....ok.. this might be going the wrong way...but look up the NOAH mod. It's a mech mod though.I'm going to need that mod if Baditude doesn't keep bringing up P.E.N.I.S.!
My friend, be kind enough to post that in a separate thread and beg @classwife or somebody to sticky it in New Members...Okay... Vaping terminology, going to be all I can think of at the moment.
there are the basics of vaping devices. All devices has a power source which is the battery, which often but not always goes to an electronic board, which then powers the atomizer and vaporizes e-liquid, which is why vaping is called vaping. Its not smoke it vapor. So lets start here.
E-liquid or e-juice (same same) is comprised of four main components.
1) VG = Vegetable Glycerin
2) PG = Polypropylene Glycol
3) Nic = Nicotine suspended in either PG or VG (No one buys pure nicotine)
4) Flavorings
Making your own eliquid at home is called DIY - Do it yourself.
Atty - Short for atomizer and can mean the entire assembly including the tank which holds the coil, wicking material and e-juice.
Coil = the coil element which heats up and vaporizes your ejuice. Here are some pretty ones:
all coils have wicking material going through them, most common are Japanese organic cotton, cotton bacon which is medical cotton which comes in sheets, or rayon. You will find ceramic used in factory coils as well for wicking.
The wicking literally wicks the ejuice to the coil, so that it gets vaporized when power goes to the coil and the coil heats up.
This is your atomizer, but many people, myself included, often mean the entire tank assembly when they speak of your atty.
Topper = your atomizer tank. (Ive used that before)
Tank = your atomizer tank which has a reservoir for e-juice.
Mod - an advanced personal vaporizer with no atty on top. Its just the device that holds the battery and the electronic board.
DNA - A highly sought after electronic board, a big selling point for manufacturers who use this board. Very popular.
And then you just have your batteries... which go inside your mods.
18650 = a common size battery used for vaping
20700 = a size of battery used in vaping, but less frequently than 18650's
Pod Mods = mods that take cartridges of ejuice that contain a coil, basically, mods with disposable atty's. Some beginnners like those as they don't have the hassle of changing a coil or filling a tank.
ADV = all day vape. Used to refer to an ejuice that is great to vape all day and the enjoyment of that vape does not diminish through the use of using that same flavor all day long. Tastes are subjective, so you might not think someone elses ADV is your own.
MTL = Mouth to Lung inhalation technique
DL = Direct to lung inhalation technique
Drip tips = the mouth piece portion of your atty.
Mech Mods = mods that are not regulated nor do they contain any electronic board.
Vape pen = a vaporizer that are small and shaped like a pen.
RTA = Rebuildable Tank Atomizer, attys for people who build their own coils
RDA = Rebuildable Dripping Atomizer, attys for people who build their own coils and dont use a tank, they literally drip eliquid onto their coil and wicking every so often.
Drop-in tanks = attys that take factory made coils
Squonker = a mod that is set up to dispense ejuice from a squeeze bottle located underneath the rda. Its a means of dripping the easy way, by giving a bottle a small squeeze whenever more juice needs to be fed to the wicking and coil.
Squonker = a person who likes bottom feeding mods.
I cannot think of any more right now...
OP, you're getting your answers-- in between foolishness and funnies-- so I'll just welcome you to the board.
Bring it on! I mean, keep it coming. I'm curious to see what comes next!!Wow, first we were boring and now we are foolish and funny.

Thermal runaway. Something i learnt here at ECF. Pretty important topic for a discussion and something i expect you'll feel the need to research. It's what happens when a battery is misused. I could elaborate but don't want to seem pretentious seeing as i'm no expert, no expert at all really. Have absolutely no doubt someone here will fill you in though.
Welcome to ECF, and are you having fun yet?
I find my best learning takes place amidst a fair amount of mirth.
Oh, except learning Ancient Greek. I took that class in college and it was at 8:30 a.m. 5 days a week. I do not know what I was thinking, the professor really wanted me to take part II, but I was like, "Um, you would have to change your scheduling." LOL. Ancient Greek is SO fiendish....

Thank you for the compliment. It wasn't all me, others began chipping in this morning as well!
Welcome and glad you joined.
Learning vaping is like learning how to ride. You would not put a beginner on a full dress Harley. Start simple and work your way up. 95% of the information is available if you know how to ask the right questions. Below is a good learning primer.
