Im so new here and was wondering the same thing.... what I thought is a pv is a vamo and the likes a mod was one of those things that just had a battery and a fire button. Like the tubes that have engraving or built out of wood and tins on their own. but now I really dont know what to think!
back in 2009, there were no APV's so everything that wasn't a pen style ecig was a mod. the name just stuck.

Yes. I wish more people would do this. Sometimes I think people are just name dropping. Then again, not every one is so good at composition or self editing. My Hubby teaches college. Does he have some horror stories. Kids using texting slang in there reports, etc.

I'm not so sure about composition failure. I often find the name dropping rather glaring, and perplexing. Frequently I want to ask how it is relevant, but it would start a flame war.

OCELOTS DO NOT MAKE GOOD PETS!!!

I have lots of pictures of them. They are beautiful, but I want to dispel any idea they can be house pets. Often people refuse to listen that exotic animals cannot be completely tamed, so fine, keep this is mind: ocelots probably have the strongest smelling urine of any of the wildcats and have no idea what a litter box is for.

The same can be said about some women! :evil:

I learned that much from Archer. :D

They do look cool, though. That said, I tend to think that all cats should be left in the wild. Dogs look up to you as the pack leader. Cats look down on you as the help. I prefer dogs. ;)

To the topic; yeah "mods" has drifted from its original meaning.. but who the hell really cares? Whenever used, the meaning is clear from the context. *shrug*

I love both my cat and dogs, but the groveling thing gets on my nerves. I find it inconvenient to have to remember not to hurt the dogs' feelings, whereas the cat completely understands when I'm ticked off.

The cat doesn't "understand", he/she just doesn't give a damn. Cats are the most aloof animals on the planet.

Some like that, others don't. My dog is always glad to see me, and it's obvious. My cat just makes herself a PITA if she wants something, then wanders off to sleep for another several hours. The hell with the cat. ;)

And she does understand...we understand each other perfectly. She's actually more friendly than I am.

Personally, I dislike the phrase "Advanced Personal Vaporizer", so I prefer mod, instead. A modder is someone who makes devices from scratch, but mods have become the accepted term to mean anything above an Ego-type battery. Really, the words don't matter so much.

I keep practicing personal electronic nicotine inhalation system so that it flows easily, just in case I ever get stopped by a police person for whatever reason and they want to write it down.

lol :D

Yes, that should make it into "the record". "The suspect was carrying an unregistered P.E.N.I.S. and inhaling the emissions." :D

Not sure anyone else caught the Acronym here.

Or maybe we have a high maturity level around here and no one wanted to comment. I thought it was worthy of an LOL.

I caught it. Just didn't want to get pitched out of here on my second day. I will, however, see your LOL and raise you a gigglesnort! :D
