Vapor Language?

[SneakyVapper]

Ok. I've found that the biggest roadblock to soaking up all this knowledge is there are still some terms I don't think I understand correctly. I've figured out most of it...and I'm a little embarrassed to ask...but even Google didn't help.

Can someone please break down what "RY4" means? At first I thought it was a brand, now I think it's just a general term for sweet tobacco...or caramel tobacco. Is it an acromyn?

Also..."pluid". For some reason this makes me laugh. Is it just another term for juice or liquid? Could it be a shortened version of "pre-mixed fluid"? Gah.

There are some others too, but these are the ones I can think of right now.

RY4 is a caramel and vanilla tobacco flavor mixed and carried by many vendors.
Pluid is a juice made by Mad Murdock, that is very hard to come by from what i've read.

RY4 is short for Ruyan4. Ruyan was one of the first (source?) ecig makers and that juice was one of their more popular ones. they did RY1-4 with the number representing the amount of sweetness or caramel flavor in it.

I'm relatively sure Pluid is the name of a particular juice (Radiator Pluid to give its full name) by Mad Murdock. I've never seen it used in any other way.

RY4 is a vague flavour, it's a tobacco base usually with stuff like caramel, vanilla, toffee, etc. So yeah, essentially a sweet tobacco. It was once a particular juice by a company named Ruyan (I believe, could be wrong!) but it's become widely replicated and tweaked now.

I've not been at this stuff too long myself and yeah, there's a steep learning curve, I was lucky to have a friend who vapes and filled me in when I had queries. Some kind of beginner's lexicon could be a great idea, if one doesn't exist.

Vapper. Hmm. Welcome man, and good luck!

As said above, pluid points to a certain eliquid, Mad Murdock's Radiator Pluid, and RY4 is just a name for a particular tobacco/caramel/vanilla-mix taste, which nearly all eliquid vendors carry so many different RY4s exist, but there is only one pluid.
Anyway this is all probably a bit overwhelming, but as you keep on vaping all of those terms will just come naturally to you. Keep it up!

 

[metropolitan]

is there a glossary posted somewhere for all the vaping vocabulary? i run into so many acronyms around here that it's hard to keep up.

 

[Boiler]

Today I ran across the phrase "blind squonking."

I think somebody needs to make a youtube video of this.

Another tip: when you see a dotted line under an acronym (like under this one ECF ) hover your mouse over it and a little explanation will show up of the full words for the acronym. Another common one TH also PG and VG.

Thank You for the post of terms.
Being a noob and getting into this with my wife to help her off cigarettes, has been a learning experience for both of us.
luckily we have a local vapor and e-cig supply and accessories store nearby to help us with the questions that arise

First, be sure to take your ego, kgo, evic, vgo, v2, etc and charge it in your pcc or usb, Then take your atty, cart, carto, ce1-4, stardust, viva nova, te3, clearo, etc and put in the ry4 or pluid. Make sure you have the proper pg vg nic mg etc to get the th or lh that you want. You can get juice from MBV or HHV or MV or TVR etc and you can use net or ta. You can also diy with TW.

See it all makes sense now, doesn't it?
