Electronic cigarette terminology

Electronic cigarettes are getting pretty advanced, aren’t they? If you do any amount of research on advanced vaping products, you are bound to come across what may seem like a whole new language! If you are wondering what a certain term means, or would like some clarification on whether you’re using a term correctly, this handy little guide should help! When it comes to vaping culture, we understand how important it is to flaunt the right lingo!

Analog. You know, the opposite of digital; the way it was back in the day. This term is a reference to traditional cigarettes as they are completely not digital.

Atomizer. The element of the e-cigarette that does the work heating and vaporizing the liquid.

Atty. AKA the Atomizer.

AVP’s. Abbreviated for Advanced Personal Vaporizers. These are super common, and basically encompass the majority of vaporizers that are commercially available. If you use a vaporizer, that is not a standard 2-piece e-cig, such as the Express, it can be considered an AVP.

Carto AKA the Cartomizer. The unit that attaches to the battery that is combination of a cartridge and atomizer.

Dripping. The act of using a Drip Tip when vaping. Those who are big on this method cite superior flavor and the best vapor production comes as a result of it.

Drip Tip. An accessory that works with the atomizer or cartomizer. They provide an open mouthpiece, and gives the user the ability to drip the liquid directly onto the atomizer. It’s a distinct method for vaping, and some people are really into it.

eGo. A loose term for vaporizers that use 510 threads, and are used with other 510 components, with a very large battery.

Mods. This term has been in existence for a while, and it originally stood for “modification.” It has come to refer to any type of vaporizer, any type of advanced vaping model. It’s used pretty loosely, and it certainly doesn’t refer to basic e-cigs.

Ohm. A unit of measurement of electrical resistance. The lower the number, the lower the resistance, which makes it heat faster.

Vaping Pens. Another clever term used for AVP’s, check out our Pro vaporizer, Jet vaporizer, andPulse vaporizer models!

Vaporizers. Any type of advanced electronic cigarette, that provides a large, powerful battery and utilizes e-liquid as opposed to disposable cartridges.
