Vaporizer – an e-cigarette, or a device for vaping oil concentrates.

Vegetable Glycerol or Glycerine (VG) – One of the main ingredients in e-liquid, alongside Propylene Glycol (PG) A high concentration of VG will produce massive vape clouds, and 100% VG e-liquids are available for vapers who are allergic to PG.

Voltage – the electrical potential in your battery.

Voltage drop – if you use a mech, you may experience a rapid drop in power, resulting in less vapor.

Variable Voltage (VV) – some e-cigs allow you to adjust the voltage output.

Variable Wattage (VW) – some e-cigs allow you to adjust the wattage output of their PV. (which adjust power according to set wattage).

W

Watt (wattage) – How much power your coil uses. If you want lots of vapor, you need a higher wattage.
