A few additions:
Steeping - The process of allowing a newly purchased or newly mixed e-liquid to mature and reach its design flavor profile.
Pre-heat - A brief period of a powered on state needed by a large or complex coil to reach a temperature that begins producing vapor.
rba - Rebuildable Atomizer. A term encompassing the full range of atomizers that are built or customized by the individual user. Includes rda's, RTA's and RDTA's.
Dripper - See RDA.
RDTA - Rebuildable Dripping Tank Atomizer. A cross between an RDA and an RTA in which the coil build(s) are positioned above a reservoir of e-liquid, but with a removable top cap to allow dripping onto the coil(s).
510 - A connection standard made popular by some of the earliest electronic cigarettes. Now includes a standard threading type for almost all mods and atomizers as well as most male/female pressure-fit drip tips. To "clean your 510" means to ensure that there is no e-liquid in the female 510 connector on your mod or gunking up the male connector on your atomizer device.
@Opinionated ... My fedora is tipped in your general direction for taking on this formidable effort. I hope you realize what you've gotten youself into.
Okay, Ive got yours added and @listopencil 's addition added as well. I also added breathing, as your steeping suggestion reminded me of it. I simply copy-pasted what you typed there @Coastal Cowboy - Thanks for writing it out nicely for me.
Big help. I still need to type wires and stuff as Letitia suggested, but thats not quite as easy as copy paste. Back to the kitchen I go.. break over.. lol
I also agree with the idea of the moderators pinning this thread as a "stickie". Ahhh, there's another one.
FOOB - Fresh out of box.
Used quite a bit in describing juice flavor as good or bad immediately after it was delivered to the customer.
"I think Boba's Bounty was great FOOB."

Man, by the end of this thread we will all be talking in Morse code. Thank you for taking on this task, Opinionated.

Nothing to apologize for... I am just adding as I have a minute. I have added OCC, and Ohms law formula.. I will go knead bread.. come back.. rinse and repeat.. lol..
Not sure what you mean?Not when it was from the mailbox.
By shake and vape, I understood that means you don't have to steep the e-liquid because the recipe allows you to vape it immediately. It goes without saying, you shake any bottle of e-liquid before you use it.
Talking about commercial unsteeped juices.Not sure what you mean?

I'm still confused. The term shake and vape can be applied to DIY or commercially unsteeped e-liquid. Maybe I'm missing something?
