Help me with definitions and terminology for the wiki page I'm making

PV and APV: Stands for “Personal vaporizer” or “Advanced Personal vaporizer” This is the term recognized in the “ecig” market as a more accurate name for the modern day devices used for the vaporization of nicotine e liquid.

Tank: A juice delivery system that uses a variety of different methods to get juice to an atomizer to be warmed then vaped. A common tank style would be a cartotank that uses a cartomizer with a hole(s) punched in the side then place in a tube (tank) and filled with juice, the juice from the tank feeds the cartomizer and keeps the cotton inside the cart saturated with eliquid. Another common tank would be the ce4 style tank or the vivi nova style tanks that use several wicks that are attached to the atomizer (coil) and hang down into the tank of juice.

mAh: Milliamps per hour

Dripping: This method is when you would use a drip tip (mouthpiece that goes on the atomizer) and you drip your juice directly onto the atomizer(heating coil). It takes three drops which is good for about 5-10 puffs (depending on voltage, and size of your pulls) however, you have to continue dripping. This provides an excellent throat hit and flavor.

MOD This is a term used to describe the big battery pvs..the ones that usually look sort of like flashlights. The name mod comes from the fact that they were originally a “modified electronic cig” Modified for usage with bigger batteries. There are several different shapes and sizes of “mods” from boxes, to big tubes so basically anything that is not an eGo style or a cig alike is considered a mod, or more accurately an APV

dry hit: Taking a draw of an ecig without any vapor being produced.

Mechanical mod: A vaping device that contains no electronics

VV: Variable voltage

VW: Variable wattage
