Today marks my one month mark being analog free! Awesomeness!!

Sometime the vets on the forums tend to use terms and slag for some of the most common items, methods and hardware for vaping. This is not the ultimate guide but should make some of the terms a little clearer. (I hope)... Basic Jargon Vapor - Vapor is the substance exhaled when using an electronic cigarette which may look similar to cigarette smoke. Vaping - The act of using an Electronic Cigarette (as opposed to "smoking", as the device creates a vapor rather than smoke). Vape - Used often in place of the word smoke. I vape, I'm vaping. Batt - Battery. Atty - Electronic component that turns the eJuice into vapor. Cartridge or Cart - The part of a three piece electronic cigarette which contains the liquid. These come blank (with no liquid), or prefilled. Cartomizer or Carto - The part of a two piece electronic cigarette which contains the liquid. These come blank (with no liquid), or prefilled. Analog - Traditional tobacco cigarette. DIY - Do It Yourself. Dripping - To place a few drops of liquid directly onto the atomizer instead of using a cartridge. Drip Tip or DT - A special attachment used to make it easier to drip eliquid directly onto the atomizer. Mod - Modified (custom built) e-cigarette. TH - Throat Hit a strong feeling in the back of the throat when vaping. Primer Puff - A short, quick mouth inhale on the electronic cigarette similar to the action when smoking a pipe or cigar. This heats up the atomizer before a full draw. PV or Personal Vaporiser - An electronic cigarette. Some prefer to use this term as the word 'cigarette' has a lot of negative connotations associated with it that do not apply to PVs. PCC - Personal Charging Case / Portable Charger Case. Passthrough or PT - A USB adapter for the Electronic Cigarette which screws onto the atomizer like a battery, but draws power from a USB port. E-Liquid / E-Juice E-Liquid / E-Juice - A Flavored or unflavored liquid for use in an electronic cigarette, usually (but not always) containing nicotine. VG - Vegetable Glycerin PG - Propylene Glycol PEG - Propylethylene Glycol PGA - Pure Grain Alcohol NPG - Not containing Propylene Glycol. Sometimes used as a synonym to Vegetable Glycerin. Nic - Nicotine Cartridge Related Filler - The clump of fibers that hold the liquid in the cartridge. Stuffing - Another term for filler. BFM - Blue Foam Mod. (cart filler material) Dripping - To place a few drops of liquid directly onto the atomizer instead of using a cartridge. Dry Smoking - Same thing as dripping, referring to the fact that the cartridge us usually not filled, therefore dry. Tailpiping - Vaping directly from the atomizer without using a mouthpiece/cartridge. Drip Tip or DT A special attachment used to make it easier to drip eliquid directly onto the atomizer. Topping Up/Off - To add a few drops of liquid to a partially used cartridge to prolong its use. Measurements LR - Low Resistance HV - High Voltage (typically a 5 or 6 volt ecigarette) IMR - A battery with lower internal resistance and a high discharge rate, good for high drain applications like ecigarettes. in - inch (also abbreviated ") (1 inch = 25.4 mm) mm - millimeter (1 mm = 0.039 inch) cm - centimeter (1 cm = 0.394 inch) oz - ounce (1 fluid oz = 29.5 ml) ml - milliliter (1 ml = 0.034 fluid ounce) cc - cubic centimeter (1 cc = 1 ml) mg - milligram (often used as measure of nicotine per ml of eliquid) mA - milliamp (often used as a measure of available power) mAh - milliamp hour (often used as a measure of battery capacity/duration Forum Phrases PM - Private Message Troll - Somebody who makes a statement with the intention of annoying or angering other posters. This person usually ends up banned.

It's happened to me twice as well, and when I checked and cleaned my connections with a paper towel and q-tip, the noise went away. I have a CE5 Clearomizer and a 650 mah ego style battery.

discountvapers.com looked like the best option. bunch of diff kind of ego's, nano's, vivi nova tanks, ce5's etc... thanks

Congrats!!!

Congrats on one month, that's a great accomplishment!

Grats indeed!!

sweeet

Great job!! Doesnt it feel great!!!!!!

For the Vision Nanos I got mine (the 2nd order) from Altsmoke. They have a "buy 5 for $2.49" and their shipping is decent. http://altsmoke.com/review/product/list/id/1641/category/12/ The Veteran Vaper, GotVapes.com, VapeLite, Discount Vapers are all places where I got good prices, good product and great customer service. The majority of my juices I now get from EC Blends. They have the juices that I like most consistently, of course YMMV. I have tried too many different vendors but the others have been hit and miss for me. Hope that helps. Congrats on getting your buddy off the analogs! ETA: Forgot to add Empire Mods, but you know that already since it was you who recommended that site to me.

If you know any intensive care type nurses, a trach brush works great for cleaning all those hard to reach nooks and crannies. I inadverently brought 1 home from work one day and use it all the time.

More than likely your getting some juice down the center post, as long as it's vaping good and not leaking probably not a big deal. One way to tell is if you find a drop or two of juice on the battery post, happens to me and I just wipe the batt clean and turn up the volts till it stops. BTW, I use a Vision Spinner and it's Varible volt.

I think that is a must please...

If your V2 is working for you right now, you might as well stick with it. It sounds like its keeping you off the stinkies and thats what really matters. Sure there are "better " units out there but in the end you arent smoking and thats the goal.

12 more Boge 2.0 ohm atomizers from Vapelite. Um...in case anyone else wanted some...they're now out of these for a bit...

Ahem
