I'm not either.  I think it depends on how much vapor is ingested at a time?  My buddy has a mj pen and he exhales almost no vapor.  But admittedly I'm not very hip so just going by what she says.  

There are vape apparatuses that result in a TON of vapor... looks like a train.  Others that give off very little.  

[Summer Wheat 734]

Getting a little tired of "swag"  

If you are not talking about weed do not use the term "dope"

[dickey moe 3,886]

Any use of "adversity" in the context of sports.

I'm convinced 95% of upper management types get all of their slang from management/how to lead/self-empowerment books. And 100% of those terms completely suck.

Agreed. It’s no coincidence they all speak and write the same.

My local one is "solution" as a verb, as short had for "design/develop a solution".  Example: "The customer has submitted request X. We need to solution this."

I hope this doesn’t become a trend.

not a vape guy so not sure but don't these things result in a seriously big vapor cloud?

Yes...usually the e-cigs or nicotine-based vapes produce a bigger cloud than cannabis vapes.

Most likely JUUL, very popular with the kiderinos these days. They look like USBs, are easy to hide and produce very little vape on the exhale, virtually no cloud if you hold it in long enough.

Yes one reason I switched to mj vape is the relative lack of smoke and smell.  I no longer smell like a skunk.

Mine says "Sent from the TARDIS" as opposed to "Sent from my iPhone"; is that bad?

I believe this term is now considered offensive.  Spread the word to end the word.

Ok but yeah, I don't think it's about logic, Tom. I think the word has just become a symbolic issue for powerful groups that feel like they're doing the right thing.
