"hookah pen"??

[dr g]

I often draw a parallel between hookahs and pv's. They are MUCH more closely related than cigarettes and pv's. I do so when describing them to people who are curious about my ecig set up, and they, almost all of them, are instantly more receptive to the idea and the unusual shape (Not looking like a cig). I describe it as 'a portable, personal, electronic hookah'. And it makes perfect sense to everybody who I've said it to.

I have believed this for quite some time now, and the big-cloud segment of vaping plays to the same aesthetic as hookah smoking.

Why? A hookah is only an immobile pipe (as in pipe-smoking) with a water-cooling device strapped onto it. We don't water-cool our vapour, and we don't use desk- or floor-standing devices with flexible pipes or multiple heads.

Because the function of a hookah and an ecigarette are almost identical. The cloud produced by a hookah is almost entirely created by the "juice" the tobacco is saturated in, which is largely glycerine and flavorings. The tobacco itself is not burned but baked, which vaporizes the nicotine. As a result hookah smoke contains little tar and far fewer toxins than burned tobacco (more than vaping though).

Exactly. That's what my brain was trying to say. Thank you.

The term "e-hookah" is bizarre.

You get those with a webcam right?

I see no problem with people calling it an e-cig, PV, vapor pipe, hookah pen, magic wand, scepter of love, whatever floats your boat. As long as they are aware it is the same thing in their function and that it is NOT different from an "e-cigarette". I wasn't trying to be PC or one up him in any way, I was merely trying to inform him that his hookah pen is an e-cig, so he would not venture further into his vaping journey thinking it was two completely different things. It's about the misconception that his hookah pen is safer/better than an e-cig when they are in fact the same type of product.

I just tell people I have a "Steam Pipe" and they tend to oooo and ahhh. I personally do not like the term e-cig, as I converted from Cigars not Cigarettes. But different strokes for different folks.

I have been calling it my pipe recently. I believe this weekI will call it my steam pipe and see how this goes.

A while back I was saw a thread about Playboy branding an ecig. Anyway, that was being marketed as an "e-hooka" even though it was some clearo, (can't remember if it was EVOD or not), on an eGo battery.

I'm just curious to what the next marketing buzzword is going to be. Personally, I'm hoping for P.E.N.I.S. or Personal Enhanced Nicotine Inhalation System. That friends is buzzworthy!!

When you wanted to put an extension cap on you could call it your P.E.N.I.S enlarger. Changing toppers could be a P.E.N.I.S transplant. Oh God my mind is a twisted place.

I have to admit that I've stolen this from another member here, it just went with the situation. I was drinking with a group of friends and pulled out my eVic with a Davide topper. A girl passing by looked at it, looked at me, looked at it again and asked, "What is that?" With a straight face, (as best as I could muster), I replied, "Its a robot dong. Wanna toot?"

At least I didn't get slapped......
