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.

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.

Hi,

I feel it time for a upgrade. I am looking at the GotVapes Ultimo. Also these FLüXOMIZER Cartomizer also seem like the best thing since sliced bread.

Long time dripping, eGo fan, but the mess is starting to get to me. Normal Cartos just taste off to me somehow. Still rock'in the eGo.

Anyone have one of these devices? I am not looking for a review really just a thums up or down on your opinion (if you have one). A device that is, not thumbs... ;-) Just kidding, you know what I mean...

Direct drip on a de-bridged atty. This seems to give me the best flavor and vapor production. Carto's just taste off to me. I know most people say they cant taste the filler, but I sware I can...

I do switch over to carto's when I have to. Like driving or where dripping is not easy.

I'm gonna jump in here bc nobody has actually answered your question.

A CE2, also known as a fluxomizer or clearomizer is essentially a "tank." They typically come in .8ml and 1.8ml sizes, but no one refers to them as "tanks."
When ppl refer to tanks, they are talking about MAP tanks or similar. These typically hold 3ml - 5ml in juice. There are tanks designed to use CE2's and tanks designed to use dual-coil cartomizers.

The actual tank you get depends on whether or not you prefer ce2's or dual coils, bc the tank itself is seperate from the atomizing unit that is placed inside it. Once the unit burns out or quits working, you can replace the ce2 or dual coil without having to buy a new tank.

A simple google search of MAP tank will produce many vendors selling tanks. You just have to decide if you want to use ce2's or dual coils.

I personally have a provari and use a 5 ml ce2 MAP tank. I like the ce2's bc you can get a 5 pack for $12 from gotvapes.com
I've never tried dual coils because they are typically around 1.5 ohms. With such a low resistance the provari's protection circuit wont allow you to vape them at higher voltages.

Hello Soberrider and welcome to Vapor talk. The short answer is, there is no short answer.

The righ hardware depends on a lot of differnt factors. The best anyone can really tell you is what works best for them and how they vape. Over the 2 years that I have been vaping my likes and dislikes have changed.

For batteries I like the eGo type or manual battery. I can share with you my current everyday setup.

1. eGo passthrough from vaportalk store
2. Juice from ivape.net
3. Carto's from gotvapes.com

The most important this to try differnt combinations until you find the combination that works for you.

I am not a big fan of cartomizers, I can always taste the filler material and they seem to dry out way too fast. The Vision Extreme Carto's from Got Vapes work very well for me. When I am not using them, I go with de-bridged Atty's and direct drip.

Hope this helps.

Well... I ordered one. It came with "VISION 360 Regular" cartos. It was love at first vape. I really should do a review of this device and these Carto's.

I know there are a lot of haters out there of the CE2 carto's but so far I love these. From what I understand these are the third generation of these and so far so good. I will give it a week or 3 before I post a review.

1987? A classic??? Damn I'm getting old.
