"it's a little vaporizer that I use instead of smoking- kind of like a mini fog machine" (sometimes I add "and it has nicotine") This is what i really say- it is long, but answers a few questions in advance.

My phone is no longer a desk phone, it's a cell phone. Still a phone.
My car is not a Model A, it's a car. Still a car.
My computer is no longer desktop, it's a laptop computer. Still a computer.
My nicotine device is no longer a paper and leaves cigarette, it's an electronic cigarette. Still a cigarette.

This thread reminds me of a a post awhile back where someone (can't remember who) said that when they were asked what it was, he told them it was a 'device to prevent emphysema'.

I'm not suggesting that anyone use that line b/c it sounds like a drug device...I just thought it was funny.
