personal vaporizer 

This is a device for turning liquids into smoke-like vapour. The liquid can contain nicotine and is usually called e-liquid.

It emits a flavored fog containing nicotine (if the user prefers it) as an alternative to smoking tobacco. It contains no tobacco, tar, or known carcinogens, there is no second hand smoke.

The device uses a liquid to produce the vapour. The liquid consists mainly of pharmaceutical or food grade propylene glycol, flavourings, glycerine and nicotine. Nicotine amounts are typically available in ranges from zero to 36mg per ml.

Propylene glycol is used to make the vapour more like smoke, it is commonly used in theatrical fog machines. A small number of users experience allergic reaction to propylene glycol and should discontinue use if symptoms appear. Glycerine based e-liquid can be used in this case.

Care should be taken to keep the liquid out of reach of children and pets as nicotine is toxic.

The personal vaporising device comes in various models and colours, most of which are similar to the size of actual cigarettes, pipes and cigars.

Although the words e-cig and e-cigarette are commonly used, they are not the best terms to describe the device.

More from Urban Dictionary
West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
Some grebo passed with Sabbath playing on his stereo.
The Poppies are at no. 17? God, a grebo band in the charts!
They're playing nu-metal now, bloody grebos!
