FYI for our health but many smokers ignore the health dangers because they crave the nicotine hit they get from cigarettes. It is the deadly chemicals in the smoke which is the main health danger in cigarettes so by delivering nicotine without the really harmful components in cigarette smoke, people can get a nicotine hit without doing nearly as much damage to their health. Public Health England reported that vaping was at least 95 per cent less harmful than smoking traditional cigarettes. Toot – Also known as Pull or to draw from your electronic cigarette. This may not be the most common term in the world these days. You are hardly likely to hear too many vapers say: “I am really enjoying this toot from my e-cigarette. How are you finding your own tooting experience?” Topper – A device that goes on top of an electronic cigarette battery/battery holder. Topping Off – Adding a few drops of e-liquid into a cartridge, cartomizer or tank. Triple-Coil Cartomizer – A type of cartomizer that uses three coils. They vape strong, slightly more so than dual-coils, and come in several sizes. Tube Mod – Any vaping device that comes in a tube shape and about the size of a small flashlight. Tootle Puffers - These are average vapers, using average gear and they are happy with it. They have been likened as modern day equivalents of 1950s era pipe smokers. The obvious question to ask though is whether there really is such a beast as an average vaper? Perhaps that is something you might want to argue over amongst yourselves. U Unicorn Bottle – E-liquid bottles that hold 15ml or 30ml with an easy to use tip for dripping. Great for carrying liquid when traveling or out on the town as an alternative to the shorter, fatter bottles. Unprotected Battery – Any lithium based battery that has no protection for the overcharging or other situations that can cause thermal runaway. USB Charger – An e-cigarette battery charger that lets you charge by connecting the battery to your computer’s USB port. This is a very useful and popular way of charging e-cigarettes. When it comes to charging not all devises are the same. While many allow USB charging there are some devices which have a USB connection for software updates only an d users must remove the batteries from the device before charging them. This means that you cannot simply assume that a device will allow USB charging just because it is fitted with a USB port. We will back with more terms in the next edition.
