E-Cig GlossaryAAdapter Used to allow a specific style of atomizer or cartomizer to fit onto a different style of battery. Many users prefer the vapor production of one style of atty but prefer the battery life of another style battery. This allows them to have access to both simultaneously.AnalogorAnalogue Slang term for a traditional cigarette.Atomizer(Abbreviated asAtty)- The part of an e-cigarette that actually heats the juice to the point of vaporization.Atty Abbreviation for Atomizer.Automatic A style of electronic cigarette battery that does not have a button to activate the heating element. Rather, when the user draws on the device a switch is activated and the atomizer is activated. This style of e-cig is most like smoking a traditional cigarette.BBatt Abbreviation for Battery.Battery(Abbreviated asBatt) The battery piece of an electronic cigarette is the part that provides power to the heating element. This allows the heating element to heat the Juice and produce vapor.Bridge A small U-shaped covering inside of the atomizer. This is used to absorb liquid and help wick it towards the heating element.CCartridge(Abbreviated asCart) A plastic tube-like piece that is usually stuffed with some sort of absorbent filler material that holds the juice.Cart Abbreviation for Cartridge.Carto Abbreviation for Cartomizer.Cartomizer(Abbreviated asCarto) A cartridge and atomizer in a single unit. These generally are disposable, inexpensive and hold more juice than a regular cartridge/atomizer combination.Charger A battery charger. This is used to recharge your e-cig battery once it has been depleted.DDrip Tip An accessory that can be used in conjunction with an atomizer or cartomizer. These have a larger opening than the original equipment and allows a user to drip Juice directly onto the atomizer. Some people use a drip tip on their Cartomizers simply for looks and/or comfort.Dripping A method of adding juice to the atomizer. A user will drip a few drop directly onto the bridge before vaping. Many users feel this method produces the best vapor production and taste, since there is no filler material involved with the process.EE-Cig Abbreviation for Electronic Cigarette.E-Juice Also referred to asE-Liquid,Juice, orSmoke Juice. This is the liquid that is vaporized when using an electronic cigarette.E-Liquid Also referred to asE-Juice,Juice, orSmoke Juice. This is the liquid that is vaporized when using an electronic cigarette.ECF- Abbreviation forE-Cigarette-Forum.eCigology The science of e-cigs. Also the greatest e-cig blog of all time.eGo- A style of electronic cigarette that utilizes the 510 threads and allows one to use 510 components but with a much larger battery. Many people feel this is one of the superior models of e-cigs that are available.Electronic Cigarette(Abbreviated asE-Cig) A device that heats up a liquid solution consisting of nicotine, propylene glycol and/or vegetable glycol, and flavorings to a point where it actually turns into a vapor which can be inhaled. For more detailed information, click here:Understanding E-Cigs: A Beginners GuideFFDA- Abbreviation for the (United States) Food and Drug Administration.Filler Material(Abbreviated asFiller)- Material placed inside of a Cartridge that isabsorbent. It is used to help keep the juice inside of the cartridge and deliver it to the atomizer at an optimal pace (so as to not flood the device). Most cartridges come with PolyFill being used as the Filler Material, but there are many modifications available that may help enhance your e-cig experience (such as the Pyramid Tea Bag mod or Blue Foam mod check ourModificationssection for more information).Flooding Something that can occur when too much Juice is applied to the atomizer. Since atomizers require some air to properly vaporize Liquid, adding too much Juice to an atomizer will cause a decrease in Vapor Production and flavor.Food and Drug Administration(Abbreviated asFDA) An administrative branch of the United States government that oversees rules and regulations pertaining to the safety of food and drug products sold in the USA. There is currently a very controversial lawsuit involving the FDA and the importation and distribution of electronic cigarettes.GHHot Cigarette A slang term for a traditional cigarette.IJJuice Also referred to asE-Liquid, E-Juice, orSmoke Juice. This is the liquid that is vaporized when using an electronic cigarette.KLLeaking This can happen when too much Juice is added to an atomizer or cartomizer. Juice can leak out of the bottom of the heating element and onto the battery, which in some cases can cause damage to the device (as is the case with Automatic Batteries).LED- Abbreviation for Light Emitting Diode.Light Emitting Diode(Abbreviated asLED) A diode that converts applied voltage to light. These are commonly used in electronic cigarette devices to indicate that the device is actively being used.Liquid Also referred to as E-Liquid, E-Juice, Smoke Juice, or Juice. This is the liquid that is vaporized when using an electronic cigarette.Low Resistance(Abbreviated asLR) An atomizer or cartomizer with a lower Ohm rating than the standard equipment. This generally causes the heating element to get hotter faster and produces vapor more quickly. In many cases it produces more vapor than an atty or carto that has a standard resistance rating.LR- Abbreviation for Low Resistance.Mm401,m402, andm403 Also referred to as 401, 402, and 403. One of many styles of electronic cigarettes available. These are all essentially the same unit (same threading on batteries and atomizers) but with different length batteries. The m401 model is the longest in physical length and battery life of the three while the m403 is the shortest in length and battery life.Manual A style of electronic cigarette battery that has a button (usually on the top or side of the battery) that activates the heating element. When the user wishes to use the device, the button must first be depressed in order to produce vapor from the atomizer. This style of e-cig is less like a traditional cigarette than the Automatic, but is preferred by many due to the fact that it is sealed and can not be adversely affected by Leaking.mg Abbreviation for Milligrams.Milligrams(Abbreviated asmg) The amount of nicotine found in a Juice. Typical levels include 0mg, 6mg, 8mg, 12mg, 16mg, 18mg, 24mg, 30mg, 36mg and 48mg. Generally speaking, a medium level of nicotine is around 18mg. Those who use Juice with a higher nicotine content than that are generally people who were heavy smokers or have been vaping for quite some time.Milliliters(Abbreviated asmL) The amount of Juice in a given container.Mini One of many styles of electronic cigarettes available. These generally are about the same size as a traditional cigarette and have the shortest battery life of any style.mL- Abbreviation for Milliliters.Mod Dual usage Can be used to describe modifications to a device or accessory (such as getting more vapor production out of your cartridges) or a design variation of a commonly manufactured electronic cigarette. In the latter context, mods typically use larger rechargeable Lithium Ion batteries and allow the user longer battery life and increased vapor production but at the cost of the device looking like a traditional cigarette. Many mods will also allow the user to increase or decrease the voltage of their device toachieveoptimal performance.NOOhm- A measure of electrical resistance. A lower number indicates lower resistance and therefore faster heating.PPassthrough A device that plugs directly into the USB port of a computer or charger and allows the user to vape without having to worry about battery life. Some users report better vapor production and/or flavor while using a Passthrough compared to their regular batteries.PCC- Abbreviation for Personal Charging Case.Pen Style One of many styles of electronic cigarettes available. Slightly resembles a ball point pen in appearance.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. Take a look atthis postfor battery life information for many common e-cig batteries.Personal Vaporizor(Abbreviated asPV) Another name for an Electronic Cigarette. Usually used in reference to the more untraditional style e-cigs (also known as Mods).PG Abbreviation for Propylene Glycol.Propylene Glycol(Abbreviated asPG) An ingredient found in many brands of E-Juice. Some users have reported an allergic reaction to it and must therefore use 100% VG Juice instead. This is one of the ingredients used that when heated will produce vapor that can be inhaled. Typically, PG produces less vapor than its VG counterpart but provides more flavor and Throat Hit. This substance has been used as a primary ingredient in medical inhalers for years.PV- Abbreviation for Personal Vaporizor.QRSSmoke Juice Also referred to asE-Liquid, Liquid,Juice, orE-Juice. This is the liquid that is vaporized when using an electronic cigarette.Smokeless Cigarette A term used to refer to an electronic cigarette. This term is used commonly due to the fact that no actual smoke is inhaled or exhaled while using an e-cig.Starter Kit A kit that includes basic e-cigarette equipment. Typically includes everything needed to begin vaping. Most starter kits come with 1 or more atomizers, 1 or more batteries, a charger and 5 cartridges pre-filled with Juice.TTH- Abbreviation for Throat Hit.Throat Hit(Abbreviated asTH)- The tingling feeling one feels in the back of the throat when vaporizing juice that contains nicotine. Typically, since nicotine is a large contributing factor
