Ok, this is just a poll that I was curious about. Do you think dictionaries should add the word "vape", or do you think it would be to slang from the original word "vaporize".

I typically associate the word vaporizing with inhalers, nebulizers and the like for prescribed medicine. Whereas I associate the word vaping with the ecigarette.

What do you all think?

PS. Thought of this when all my spellcheckers wanted to change the word "vaping", with "vamping"

I say put it in there, and further increase the public consciousness of our world.

BTW, given where I live, I say "vapear" (to vape),
"un vapeador" (a vaper)
"un buen vapeo" (a good vape),
"un carto" or "un cartomizador" (a carto/cartomizer),
"jugo" (e-juice/e-liquid),
"propilen glicol" and "glicerina vegetal" (propylene glycol and vegetable glycerin),
"cargador" (charger),
"el corte" (the cut-off)
"golpe" or "golpe a la garganta" (throat hit).

Some terminology I keep the same, but I change the pronunciation:

vapor = vah - POOR
PV = peh - veh
PCC = peh - seh - seh
