Some of the LinkedIn Responses are direct and on-point, and also hilariously/depressingly based depending on how you look at it:
EDIT: In hindsight, I think I should’ve looked into posting this in a different community… It’s closer to a silly “innovation”… soo… is this considered FUD? I also don’t support smoking or vaping, especially among kids. Original title had “privacy-violating” before the “solution”.
Ah, so you don’t understand the misunderstanding, or you’re purposefully using an illfitting word.
Vaporisers produce vapour.
VAPOUR:
Dictionary
Definitions from Oxford Languages · Learn more
noun
a substance diffused or suspended in the air, especially one normally liquid or solid.
"dense clouds of smoke and toxic vapour
There’s no visible part of steam, despite colloquially people sometimes using language in a way that might make you think there is.
So why would you insist on using the wrong word after being corrected? (That’s a rhetoric question, because I already know the answer.)
I understand what you mean. Water vapour (i.e. clouds, fog, the visible part of what comes from boiling water which any normal person would call steam) vs Gaseous water (i.e. most of the atmosphere, and the non-visible part of boiling water also called steam steam).
Vapes work by boiling PG/VG which starts as a liquid (i.e. the juice), and generates both vapourized and gaseous PG/VG. If it was water, any normal person would consider this steam. This isn’t a chemistry or physics class.
Just because you didn’t pay attention in physics in basic education doesn’t mean no-one did.
When is the last time you heard someone refer to someone’s vape productions as “steam” in real life? “Goddamn vapers steaming all over”?
Vapour and steam are different, because you don’t need 100c for water vapour. Ever heard of clouds? Mist? Fog? None of those are steam, none of those are 100 degrees Celsius, but they are all water vapour.
That’s what vaporisers produce.
