VAPE DICTIONARY

1. ADV (All Day Vape): acronym used to indicate an e-Liquid that can be vaped all day and that for a long time does not tire.
2. AFC: Air Flow Control - definition of English origin that indicates the regulation of the entry of air into the atom.
3. Analog (cigarette): term used to describe the traditional cigarette, the combustion one.
4. Concentrated aroma: this term indicates an organic extract, with natural or artificial flavors, which serves to impart a particular flavor (fruity, creamy, tobacco, for example). They can be of the shake & vape type, therefore ready, or slow ripening once mixed together with the neutral base.
5. Atomizer: the atomizer is the main element of all electronic cigarettes, the component to which the task of transforming liquids into steam is delegated, by overheating the coils (resistances).
6. Regenerable atomizer: atomizer to which it is possible to replace the coils / resistors, generally prepared in the home environment, with special tools.
7. Atty: somewhat common American abbreviation used to indicate the atomizer, i.e. the atomizer.
8. Automatic: term used to identify a type of electronic cigarette that is activated only by aspiration and therefore does not require activation via a button.
9. Neutral base: a liquid in different concentrations of PG / VG i.e. propylene glycol and vegetable glycerol. It has a neutral and unflavoured flavor; if desired, the preferred aroma and nicotine can be added in the desired quantity.
10. 18650 battery: this is a Li-On or Ni Mh battery. The 18650 specification is the indication of the battery size 18 mm in diameter and 65 mm in height. Another common type of battery is the 26650 (therefore 26mm in diameter).
11. Battery: when we talk about electronic cigarettes, the term battery generally indicates the battery box. That is, the one who supplies energy to the atomizer. At the beginning, it indicated the simple battery with power button and connector; to date, however, the term has been maintained to identify the circuits used to stabilize the current and to vary the voltage. The term Box is also used because it generally has the shape of a box or tube when the shape is tubular.
12. BB: initials of Big Battery, that is, of an electronic cigarette with large batteries and / or high autonomy. It can be both mechanical and circuitry.
13. BCC: acronym that stands for bottom coil clearomizer, that is, the resistance positioned at the bottom.
14. BDC: Acronym of English Bottom Double (Dual) Coil which refers to the double coils positioned at the bottom of the atomizer.
15. BF: Acronym of the English Bottom Feeder that refers to a vaping technique that prevents the use of RDA that are fed with the liquid from below. These atoms generally have a perforated 510 pin and are screwed onto boxes whose attachment has a corresponding hole. The liquid passes through the connection hole, which comes from a small tube that leads to a bottle housed in the box. The feeding of the atom takes place by squeezing (squonkando) the bottle every now and then, an operation made possible, in most cases, by inserting a finger into a window practiced on the door or on the side of the battery.
16. Bottom Feeder: this term is mainly used to indicate a box, which uses an atomizer with the passage of liquid through a hole on pin 510.
17. Box-mod: Electronic cigarette, generally box-shaped, in which rechargeable batteries are inserted, with or without an integrated electronic circuit.
18. BVC: Acronym of the English Bottom Vertical Coil which refers to the coils arranged with the vertical axis, in the lower part of the atomizer with the wick that wraps the coil from the outside and the air that passes through the central hole. The term became famous when in 2014 Aspire produced spare coil heads for the Nautilus with this shape. The advantage of the bottom vertical coils is that there is no need to invert the atomizer to impregnate them with liquid and the greater uniformity with which the air envelops the resistance passing through the hole. On the other hand, they are more complicated than the classic horizontal coils wrapped around the wick.

26. CE5: clearomizer, has the wick positioned inside a cylindrical core, have an ego type attachment.
27. Clearomizer: they take their name from clear, as you can see the status of the wick, and the charge of liquid contained inside the refillable cartridge.
28. Coil: the coiled resistive wire. It can be of A1 kanthal, stainless steel, nickel chrome ... It derives from the English coil. It is often synonymous with resistance.
29. Cut-off: term used within the box with circuit. It is the limit of use of the battery discharge, before reaching a too low voltage threshold. Exceeding this limit would invalidate its use, (usually it is set by the box manufacturer).

49. Hot Spots: during activation, they are the hottest points on the coils. These are points that must be removed with the help of ceramic tweezers, widening the coils, because otherwise they would form micro-welds.
50. mAh: milliampere-hour (symbol: mAh), this is the measure used for the capacity of a battery. This unit of measurement also indicates an hourly time limit, with which the battery will be charged or discharged according to the mah used to use the device. Ex: if we use a 5000 mAh battery, we can commit the battery with a consumption of 1000 mAh for 5 hours. 18500 batteries have a capacity ranging from 2600 mAh up to 3500 mAh (for the most commercialized).
51. Mechanical: a device that uses no circuit to operate. It is therefore an operating system therefore purely mechanical.
52. Mesh: system used to regenerate that uses small "sheets" of very fine metal mesh. To be used, these must first be oxidized by means of an open flame.
53. mg / ml: unit of measurement often used to indicate the nicotine content in liquids in relation to the milliliters used to form the liquid. E.g .: liquid 3 mg / ml of nicotine (per 10ml of liquid), otherwise 0.3 mg / ml (per 1 ml of liquid).

75. Starter Kit: starting point, generally a complete cigarette, which smokers approach to become familiar with the vape and quit smoking.
76. Squonkare: in practice, with this verb coined in the world of vaping, it is intended the act of pressing the bottle to make the liquid contained in it flow, through the perforated pin, to the deck of the atomizer (dripper). In this way the cotton will be sprayed with liquid, in order to start the vaporization.
77. Squonk box: box that can be mechanical or circuited (often DNA). Generally it adopts the bottle system (see the term squonkare) and bottom feeder atomizer, that is with positive pin (therefore drilled).

82. TCR: acronym that means temperature coefficient of resistance, or temperature coefficient of resistance. It is a system that works on the basis of the coefficient set on the box for the resistance material used. Based on this coefficient, the resistance of the wire will vary according to the measured temperature. N.B: almost all materials are usable, apart from kanthal, as it does not have the ability to vary the resistivity in this type of use.
83. CHEEK PULL: a vaping system that involves a first phase of aspiration in the mouth of the steam and then inhaling it into the lungs. MTL, mouth to lung, from mouth to lungs is used in English. The first electronic cigarettes were all by cheek.
84. PULMON SHOOTING: in vaping, with pulmonary pull the vapor is sucked directly into the lungs without therefore holding it in the mouth. The systems used are very airy, like dripper, tanks that work at high wattages.
85. VG: Vegetable glycerin, glycerol. Used in the food, pharmacological and cosmetic fields. Its abbreviation is E422. It is the part that creates the most steam when used with the electronic cigarette. It has the characteristic of not being toxic and of evaporating at a relatively low temperature (290 °).
86. VV- VariVolt - Variable Voltage: The cigarettes that use this system allow to vary the volts as regulation. A striking example is the Justfog Q16.
87. VW- VariWatt- Variable Wattage: Most electronic cigarettes allow you to vary the watts with this system. As the steam increases, the heat will be more intense.
88. WICK: a lanyard or wick, used in atomizers, in the first generations of electronic cigarettes. System become almost obsolete to date. The liquid is transported by means of this lanyard, up to the resistance, to then be evaporated and aspirated.
89. WIRE: wire.
90. WRAP: in vaping, film used to replace the original film of the battery, when it is peeled or damaged. This replacement is called rewrap and is used to prevent the exposed metal parts of the battery from creating short circuits with the metal body of the mod (generally mechanical).
