P

Pass-through: (PT) A Pass-through can be either a device itself or part of an electronic cigarette or mod. It is the device itself, you can connect your atty or carto to it and then plug it into the USB port of a computer or USB wall adapter. It receives power through either. Pass-through is built into many electronic cigarettes and mods allowing you to use them while they are charging.

PCC: Personal Charging Case. A device that is charged first and then is used to charge you’re electronic cigarette while on the go and away from an electrical outlet. Many PCC provide extra storage room for an additional battery and cartomizer or carts. Most PCC’s look like a pack of cigarettes for easy carrying.

PEG: An acronym for Polyethylene Glycol; it is infrequently used as one of the ingredients in the e-liquid.

PEG400: An acronym for Polyethylene Glycol 400; an ingredient sometimes found in e-liquid.

Pen Style: A style of electronic cigarette, known for its resemblance to a ball point pen.

Personal Charging Case: A portable charger that can be taken with a user on the go to charge electronic cigarette batteries when away from a power outlet. Particularly useful when using an e-cig that has less than a 2 hour battery life per charge.

Personal Vaporizor: (Abbreviated as PV) Another name for an Electronic Cigarette. Usually used in reference to the more nontraditional style e-cigs (also known as Mods).

PG: Propylene Glycol (PG) Propylene Glycol is used as a base carrier for the nicotine and flavoring. Propylene Glycol has been deemed generally safe to be used in medical products as well as in food products for general consumption. Some people have reported having an allergic reaction to PG.

Pipe Style: The Pipe style electronic cigarette is also known as an E-Pipe. The Pipe style or E-Pipe is made to resemble a tobacco pipe.

Polyfil: The standard material used in the factory to fill cartridges.

Primer: Many companies use a VG based primer for preservation and shipping. The primer is used inside the atomizer and on the coils. Many vapers prefer to blow out the primer out of the atty, as the taste is less than desirable. However this primer will burn off eventually allowing the true taste of the eliquid to come through.

Primer Puff: The practice of taking a quick, short draw just to engage the atomiser.

Protected (batteries): A battery which has a computer chip at the base, which protects the battery and breaks the circuit in the battery from completing if the voltage goes too high or too low, the current goes too high or the cell temperature rises too high

PT: abbreviation for a Passthrough.

PTB: abbreviation for Pyramid Tea Bags.

PV: Personal Vaporizer. Another term for electronic cigarette and more commonly used in the vaping community. It uses an atomizer / cartomizer to vaporize the e-liquid needed to create a vapor for inhalation and exhalation.

Pull: The draw you take from your electronic cigarette.

Pyramid Tea Bags: some users find that this substance works better than the polyester fibre type filling found in most electronic cigarette cartridges.

V

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.

Vent Holes: Vent holes appear on the bottom of electronic cigarettes and mods. These holes allow battery gases to vent in the event of a battery failure.

VG: Vegetable Glycerin, is a water soluble liquid that is also used in food, cosmetics and medicines.

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.
