Most industries have their own special language and this jargon can take some time getting used to. The electronic cigarette industry makes no exceptions. We have a lot of interesting terms  that we use to describe products, methods, and other e-cig related information. When a person is new to vaping it can be difficult to understand all the terms. Not only that, but many of these words have abbreviations to learn as well!

Here is a list of some words and their abbreviations from the vaping world:

  • Amp (amperage)
  • Atty (atomizer)
  • Auto (automatic, as in ‘automatic battery’)
  • Batt (battery)
  • Cart/carto (cartomizer)
