I never did , I call them batteries . I call coils wires, tanks are tanks I guess. I don't care or use any of this fancy dictionary people use, after all I am just a simple mouth to lung hitter vaping at 13 watts. All this cloud chasing , temp control, airflow , how many ohms your coil is or what mod / tank you're using , none of that bs really concerns me. I have 1 tank , one battery and that's it , the rest of the money I spend on juice I mean why wouldnt I when I vape 10ML / day LOL
Oh btw , if anyone like me is reading this let me give you an advice for a setup , all you need is an istick ( any model ) , personally I like the pico because it is small. Prior I had an istick 50w . As for tank , get yourself a toptank mini and you're all set . Maintenence is super easy , you can make you own coils in no time everything about it is just as simple as it can be.

Other than the semantics (wire/coil, potato/potatoe) isn't having only 1 tank and 1 mod living a bit dangerously? What happens if something breaks?
Not there's any issue with a Pico and toptank. Both are excellent, and as long as they satisfy you that's all that matters. But I do think some folks like to spread the risk around with more than 1 mod, and enjoy some variation in their daily vaping activity with a different tank with a different flavor at various times. Then again, I'm also a big proponent of DIY, especially if vaping large volumes per day.
Lol.
They are called mods because mechanical tube mods are in fact a modified flashlight design.
They still are.
Regulated apv devices inherited the monkier, as new vapers adopted the terminology without really understanding what it meant.

Because we had the language first & that's what they're called. Flashlight is a silly name. They only flash when you turn them on & off in quick succession.
Reminds me of an old story...
"I was visiting a friend in America & wanted to take a shower. Despite my best efforts, I couldn't get the hot water to work. I shouted to my friend "Is the hot tap broken?" "The what?" "The hot tap" "What?" "The thing you turn to make water come out" "Oh! faucet"
I did & the bloody thing came off in my hand"

I love that movieLol.

They're called "mods" because ya gotta call them something!
"Battery holder" doesn't roll off the tongue as easily.

I've always been awkward identifying my setup to non-vapers. I am the only person at my job who vapes, so I am constantly getting those "what's that" questions and looks. I usually say "atomizer", because I already know that they're going to ask me 500 more questions. I honestly don't have time to explain every day "This part is called a box mod and contains 18650 batteries and a power regulator which powers a couple of coils of resistance wire which heats up to create an aerosol of propylene glycol, vegetable glycerin, flavoring, and nicotine which is fed via capillary action through a wick made out of organic cotton which I drip this stuff called e-liquid onto".
Just saying "it's an atomizer" and that it's used for vaping is usually a lot easier. Usually I can perceive the other person's misinformed ideas about vaping or that they think that I'm a hipster trying to be cool, but whatever. I might work in there the fact that I haven't smoked a cigarette in ages and feel 10 years younger because of it.

Meh...
When people ask me what it is, I look them straight in eye and without missing a beat reply "Pipe bomb."
Shuts em up fast.

It's up to you, of course, but you'll have difficulties in interacting with other people. Even here. Personal dictionary is just that, personal.
