18 Words That Mean Completely Different Things To Vapers
Were you confused when you started vaping?
(Or are you still confused now?) In the six years I have been writing
about vaping (a word that has itself only just made it into the Oxford
English Dictionary) the vocabulary associated with vaping has exploded
like a badly put-together mechanical mod charged on an ipad plug. So,
both to help the confused and for a bit of fun, we’ve put together ten
words that mean different things to vapers. Can you think of more? Let
me know in the comments!
