     "E-smoking" is a bit of a handful, "Misting" sounds far too fey, "Vaporizing" or "Vaping" has drug connotations. There must be a better word for my new hobby! Suggestions?

   • 2008 March 2, marian00, "Re: NJOY International" [2], e-cigarette-forum:

     I have received both my Sedansa and Njoy ciggies. ... They vape about the same. I can drip in both cigs, whether into the atomizer or into the filter. ... The e-cig minicig from .......... sucks -- and I don't mean literally. I can't get anything out of them. I don't like their pipe either. It vapes plenty; you just can't inhale and exhale much of anything.

   • 2008 April 24, TropicalBob, "Re: Now that's smoking!" [3], e-cigarette-forum:

     "Vaping" is just a fancy way to avoid the term "smoking", since smoking is illegal everywhere and these things don't burn anything and don't produce second-hand smoke.
