Vape: The electronic version of “to smoke”. Refers to as such because of water vapor produced when e-liquid is heated by the atomizer.

Vape Butter: The sticky residue that builds up on an atomiser; caused by continually overfilling cartridges or improperly mixing your own e-liquid.

Vapegasm: That experience you get when you put on a new atomizer or cartomizer. That first taste you get from your favorite e-liquid. That point when you find your perfect juice, perfect voltage, and discover your sweet spot.

Vapemail: After numerous days of online tracking and mailbox check, this is the delivered parcel or envelope containing vaping hardware and or e-liquid.

Vapemeister: Someone who possesses a lot of knowledge in the area of vaping.

Vapeology: A slang term used to note the specific vocabulary and terminology of vaping.

Vaper: A person who vapes. A smoker smokes. A Vaper vapes.

Vaping: The act of using an electronic cigarette. Power is supplied to the heating element which vaporizes the e-liquid and vapor is then taken into the lungs and provides the sensation of smoking along with nicotine if it is present in the e-liquid.

Vapoholic: A term to denote someone who vapes incessantly, the point of compulsion.

Vapor: The water vapor that is produced when the liquid is heated by the atomizer or coil.

Vapor Cigarette: A term used to refer to an electronic cigarette. This term is used commonly due to the water vapor that is exhaled when using an e-cig.

Vapor Production: Typically associated with Juices. Indicates how much vapor is produced using an average inhale of an e-cigarette.

Vaporama: The practice of getting together with other vapers to sample one another’s VJs

Vapor, Throat Hit, Flavor: represent the vaping experience given by a device or an e-liquid.

Vaporer: you are consider a vaporer if you use electronic cigarettes

Vaporizer: The Vaporizer turns a liquid into a gas or vapor. Another term used for electronic cigarette, e-cig, PV, etc.

Variable Voltage: Variable Voltage (VV) allows you to control how many volts your device will produce. With a variable voltage e-cig, you have the ability to dial in the voltage by a click of a button or sequence. A typical voltage range for variable voltage is 3.0volts – 6.0volts and VV device’s can change these volt settings in .01 increments.

Variable Wattage: Variable Wattage (VW) allows you to control how many watts your device will produce. Variable wattage will allow you to set the wattage, no matter what resistance atomizer or cartomizer you use with the device. Variable Power (VP) is also used to describe variable wattage.

VHR/VHV: abbreviation for Very high resistance / very high voltage

Vegetable Glycerol/Vegetable Glycerin: (Abbreviated as VG) – An ingredient found in many brands of E-Juice. This is one of the ingredients used that when heated will produce vapor that can be inhaled. Typically, VG produces more vapor than it’s PG counterpart but provides less flavor and Throat Hit. Some users who are allergic to Propylene Glycol must use 100% VG Juices.

VJ: An acronym for vape juice; this is another term for e-liquid.

Voltage: Volts are supplied to the atty/carto from the battery. Most devices, such as the EGO supply approximately 3.7V. High voltage devices can supply between 5-6 volts. Variable Voltage devices allow you to adjust the output voltage. This varies between devices, but usually somewhere between 3V up to 6V. Multi-voltage devices provide pre-determined voltage setting. For example, a low setting could be 3.7V, a medium setting could be 4.5V, a high setting could be 6V.

VTF: Abbreviation for Vapor, Throat Hit, Flavor

VV/VW: Some advanced personal vaporizers, incorporate both variable voltage and variable wattage features.

Wadding: Another term to describe the filler material inside a cartridge which holds the juice.

Watt(s): Watts is a measurement of power which is the function of the voltage of your electronic cigarette or mod and the resistance of your atomizer or cartomizer. Watts = Voltage (squared) of your device divided by the resistance of your atomizer or cartomizer.

Wick: A wick is an absorbent material that is used in many different styles of atomizers. A type of poly or silica string or number of strings is often used for the wicking. (Wicking) also refers to the act of directing the e-liquid from the container to the heating element.

Wicking: The process by which e-liquid is drawn from the cartridge into the atomiser coil.

 

You Tube Draw: A ridiculously long toot on youtube videos that is apparently a form of “I’ll show you mine if you show me yours.”

Zero Nic: A term to designate e-liquid with absolutely no nicotine added.
