Find out what the words most often used in vaping terminology really mean

=== Aerosol ===
E-cigarettes allow users to inhale a nicotine vapour, created by heating an e-liquid. An aerosol is the visible vapour that is formed/exhaled

=== Atomiser ===
Typically contains the wick and the coil all within one single unit

=== Closed System ===
A type of vaping device where a pod or cartridge which already contains e-liquid is attached to the battery. Once the pod or cartridge is empty, it can be disposed of

=== Coil ===
A small piece of wire that is used as a heating element to produce a vapour from the e-liquid

=== E-liquid ===
The solution which evaporates to create vapour for inhalation. E-liquids come in a variety of strengths and flavours, and are commonly made up of a combination of propylene glycol (PG), vegetable glycerine (VG), flavouring, and in many cases nicotine

=== Flavours ===
An ingredient added to the base e-liquid (propylene glycol (PG), and vegetable glycerine (VG) to add a specific flavour used in the production of many e-liquids - they add taste to the vapour inhaled

=== Mg/ml ===
Milligrams or millilitres - the measurement used to determine the strength of nicotine present in an e-liquid

=== Nicotine ===
A chemical compound which is found in tobacco plants and used in the production of many e-liquids. Nicotine is addictive. It is also found in other plants in the nightshade family

=== Ohms ===
The unit of measurement used for electrical resistance. A lower ohm reading for the atomiser coil means hotter and thicker vapour, whilst a higher ohm reading means cooler vapour

=== Open System ===
A type of vaping device which allows the user to pour e-liquid directly into the device's tank ready for inhalation

=== PG (Propylene Glycol) ===
One of two substances commonly used as a base ingredient in e-liquid production

=== Pods ===
Pre-filled e-liquid cartridges that can be used with closed systems

=== Smoke ===
Smoke is a visible suspension of particles in the air produced by combustion of a cigarette

=== Tobacco ===
A breed of plant of the nightshade family whose leaves contain nicotine

=== Vape ===
An electronic device made up of an atomiser, battery, and cartridge or tank that enables the user to inhale vapour, created by the heating of a liquid solution known as e-liquid. Other names for devices include e-cigarette, pod vape, box mod

=== Vapour ===
The substance created by the heating of e-liquid, which is inhaled by a user of a vaping device

=== VG (Vegetable Glycerol or Glycerine) ===
One of two substances used as a base ingredient in e-liquid production

=== Wattage ===
The amount of energy consumed by the atomiser coil. In general, the higher the wattage, the more vapour is produced

=== Wick ===
Wick is the absorbent material – typically cotton or glass fibre – in certain devices that carries e-liquid from the tank to the coil where it is heated and turned into a vapour
