Like I say...geek factor... I am also curious about a few different type of wires that are not supported by any other device but the DNA200. If you get board and like super techy type stuff check out http://www.evolvapor.com/guide/story.html

I have been thinking about a crown. They are getting pretty reasonable in price and the RBA looks nice. I have a tvfv4 (standard). I never could like it. I tried, it just wasn't for me. The mini looks interesting though. I really like the looks of the Reuleaux, I really don't like large mods. I never carry my dual 18650 mods, and I am looking at a triple? I want a DNA just for the "geek factor" of using the software to build curves. The lipo versions are all boxy so I really like the look of Reuleaux, not to mention the watt/hours of 3 18650s is much better than the lipos that come in most factory DNA200 mods. That is hard to do. I got lucky and found 3 flavors I really liked. Out of laziness I mixed all 3 and I liked it a little better. I sent a samples to @Compenstine because I would rather support his business than the A-holes at my local store. He sold me some Fruit Mash. Mash was the small pieces left over from mixing fruit flavored juices. It got popular, so Frutti Tutti was born. He mixed 15 - 20 different flavors to make it. It has been my ADV ever since. I keep a dripper around and use a coffee flavor in it during the evening.

I personally like the Cthulhu V2, but I don't use it much any more since I switched to the NEBOX. I also like the looks of the OBS Crius RTA. I am really just a single coil guy, but I love the Velocity style posts and build deck of the Cthulhu V2 and the Crius, it is so much easier for me to build on. I really prefer a tank that uses a factory coil in combination with a RBA, just in case. Off topic, but are you enjoying the Reuleaux RX200? I was holding out for the DNA200 version, but am seriously thinking about getting the RX200. The SS temp control really looks intresting, and at $100 less than the DNA version, I may have to pick one up.

When in public I dont put on a cloud show. I usually hold it in long enough to where there is very little fog.

I have had a couple different Genie style tanks and did not like them. they do leak when on their side. and are a PITA to build. Once you get it built just right it works ok for quite a while. Most of the ones had had plastic tanks as well. and that became a minus for me. Air flow was also an issue. I found a rebuilt KPT head in a KPT 3 was a better performer.

A government that's doing something that's not completely backasswards? Surely, the end is near!!!

I actually already knew this, but was reminded of it this morning... When the weather gets colder and your vaping in the car, be sure to crack the window so that you can see WHERE THE HELL YOU ARE GOING!!

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.

Exactly what I needed. Thanks a ton!

Agreed. I thought I knew all the jargon, but never heard of carto before. Very cool. Who knew that changing from smoking to vaping would be so interesting?

As somewhat of a newbie, this was helpful. Thanks

Thanks for the post i always got confused in cart and carto... It should not be deleted because it can be easily accessible.

I didn't see it in the noobie area, but then I was probably not paying attention, so I think a good idea to have it in multiple places. Better to have it posted too many times than not enough. I knew all the terms, but when I think of a PV, I think of the larger things which I guess are really just vaporizers, to smoke weed. I know several people that use like the little volcanoes and stuff. I always say e cig, but then I usually call a regular cigarette a smoke or cig, because analog, just seems so goofy since it is in no way any kind of electronic device....like on a radio an analog tuner vs a digital tuner, they are both electronic, but still diff from each other, where an e cig and a cig are TOTALLY different from each other, in my opinion. The only thing that is the same is the fact you are inhaling and exhaling, but it isn't always even a nicotine containing juice. So normally I would say they each contain nicotine but since people vape 0mg that isn't really true. In a chat or board then I will say a reg cig meaning a regular/real cigarette vs an e cig. I wonder who started calling them analogs, weird. I think it is amazing just in the year I/we (my husband vapes too) have been vaping how many more devices and how much more sophisticated and powerful they are. It is really interesting to watch.

and...stickied

No need to delete. You did a great job on your list. +1 for you. The one that always bugs me is when people say " I am a vapor" actually "I am a vaper"

Crap, I just noticed that Jolly had these in his Sticky http://www.vaportalk.com/forum/forum/forum/topic/8803-the-noobie-guide/. Feel free to delete.
