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.

Hello and welcome!

We've explored the Genesis Style Rebuildable Atomizer in these pages, and there are many other styles still to go. Other styles you say? Yep. Other styles. The Genesis Style, has an SS mesh wick, and a juice tank. The tank can be SS or glass, holds anywhere from 1.2ml to 5.ml and comes in just as many prices and craftsmanships as mods do. They range from 25 (for the clones) to 250 for the Titanium wonders like the Bliss Titanium.. Some come with a years supply of mesh and wire (such as the DID series from MMVapors.com) and some don't come with anything but the atty. Then there are the Rebuildable: CARTO tanks, like the Killer 705. Imagine rebuilding your own carto to stick into a tank. No more tossing those puppies, just reCoil those dead coils! Sweet eh. DRIPPERS!! Imagine coiling your own silica wicks and direct dripping your tasty new juices. These will hold about 20 drops of juice usually. Such as the IGO-L CART w/ATTY! Yep! This one even has all the fluffy wonders of the good old CART of old. The atty itself is a silica wick, and the ends of the wick provide juice to the Fluff Filled Cart. The Cart Fluff never touches the coil, never gets burned. Check out the Spheroid! and so forth. If you vape it, its out there in Rebuildable format! Have fun!!!

Good luck on your journey and if you have any questions there are plenty of people here willing to help you.

Welcome To DIY !! I started with DIY because I am among the flavor Challeged...I have a hard time tasting most flavors. Most Cherry flavors have a very perfumy type flavor for me. http://www.ecigexpress.com/ These guys have a great selection of flavorings: Some of my favorites.... PA makes a great Caramel, Marshmallow (great for sweetening flavors) Flavour Art: Apple Pie, Tiramisu, Cafe espresso Flavor West: Sugar Cookie and Chocolate mint. Lorann: Watermelon, english toffee, strawberry, butterscotch. Merry Mixing Just remember, Always mix in small amount until you get the flavor you want....less waste. For me DIY is lots of fun...I love the endless flavor combinations.
