I don't really have a fav term, but I did notice something weird that I don't really understand:

Here in the Netherlands everyone calls those replaceable pre-build coils "atomizers", but english speaking folks seem to use that word for tanks, RTAs and RDAs instead (we just call those tanks in general, or RTA or RDA more specifically when one of those is applicable).

It took me a while before I figured this out & it was quite confusing until I did. I'm used to it now, but I still feel you guys are doing it wrong :p

I also have a bit of a problem with the word "mod" while I'm at it. I always thought a mod was either something, anything, that's modified, or a person who moderates a forum.

Wouldn't it make more sense to call a mod a (variable) power supply or control-unit (CU) instead?

I was just venting basically, I was looking for a place to post this for a while now. But, I'd be interested to hear what an expert's view on this would be, maybe it isn't too late to change all of you just yet :D

Me too, I just ordered my first one today after 5 years on(and off) an Ego device!

Soo excited to try it!
 
Atomizer, atty, coil, filter there are many names for them. I usually just call the coils. It makes it simple for everyone.

MOD came from the first devices (being modified flashlights essensially) but it stuck cause it's short and sweet. Makes it easy.

My favorite term that I have seen pop up though? VOOP: a little self explanatory ;) but it's silly. Take a break while on your other break[emoji14]
