Why are we still referring to PVs as e-cigarettes?!

Actually it's P.E.N.I.S.

Why It's Called An 'E-Cigarette' And 'E-Smoking'

People just get into the habit of calling PVs.

I avoid the term e-cig. I use PV's. I try to distance them from cigs as much as possible.

for the same reason "steep" their juice.... its a term that got implemented in the beginning and it stuck...
there is no need to steep your juice you age juice steeping requires a solid to be infused into the fluid
how many of yall find solids in your juice when you get it??

Hope people bother to read that.

It is what is it. And I do wish people who insist on regurgitating this topic would do a simple search and read the 10,000+ previous posts on the same topic, before thinking there is something more to be added to this topic by - posting the same thing again and again and again.

You stick it in your mouth. It has nicotine. (Or maybe not.) Pray tell, what are the magic brand name words that are going to change one single issue on the agenda table?

Other than that - bacon. bacon bacon.

Good read. Way to put things in perspective.

Also, +1 interwebs for P. E. N. I. S!

See what I mean? Some just cannot grasp the notion. LOL

Also didn't realize it was such a touchy subject. And like the article retired1 posted, I probably wouldn't have made the switch had it described as a vaporizer rather than an e cigarette.

We gotta come up with a cooler name and start using it, people will catch on! I propose "cure for aids", who could possibly hate on that?

Some of the most wicked degenerates on the face of the planet that's who!

Now if you said "treatment for AIDS" you'd have those very same parasitic creatures as your ally.

Good point the OP has made. The younger generations in particular are so vulnerable when presented with these made up words like ecig. Big Pharma loves them though!

I'm old enough (and whatever else enough) to continue to reject made up words.

"You'll find we're different here. Everyone is cool. No hate and that crap."
To have actual anger, hate and ridicule come out of such people over such a simple, logical thought is completely frustrating. 'I smoked. E-cigs" got me off therefore, it must be called ecigs. Regardless if the connection to cigarettes is used against me down the road someday. 'Senator, senator but, they're not cigarettes!' Shut up and go home! It's in the damn name!! LOL
