FYI
A-Z
OF VAPING
Part Two
Like every niche group, the vaping community has its own set of terms and slang which may be
confusing to those new to vaping and totally unintelligible to those outside the community.
Here we continue our look at some of the more popular, and not so popular,
terms related to vaping and e-cigarettes.
So let’s continue where we left off with our next batch of vaping-related words and phrases.
E
ECF – This stands for E-Cigarette-Forum which is the largest
and most active forum on the internet for the entire vaping
community. It was launched in 2007, has many thousands of
active members around the world who, between them, have sent
millions of messages on a whole range of vaping-related issues.
ECITA - This is the Electronic Cigarette Industry Trade
Association. Founded in March 2010, ECITA is the longestrunning trade association for the electronic cigarette industry. It
is also one of only two ECig Trade Associations in the world (the
Irish Association being the other) which is not managed/operated
by those engaged in the sale of vaping products, directly or
indirectly.
E Cigarette Accessories – These are all those ‘extras’ and
‘add-ons’ that you can get to add to your vaping experience.
This covers everything from chargers, extra batteries, cases and
lanyards. As vaping gets more popular so too does the range of
accessories out there for fans to buy.

E Juice/E Liquid – These terms are interchangeable and mean
exactly the same thing. This refers to the liquid solution which is
vaporised within the atomiser tank and drawn in as vapor form
via the mouthpiece. It is usually a mixture of both vegetable
glycerin and propylene glycol to which nicotine and/or flavouring
is added. E Liquid can come in different nicotine strengths and,
as any vaper knows, there is a huge range of different flavours
out there now.
