e-cigarette
The term "e-cigarette" is the formal or technical name for the device. In everyday conversation, native speakers almost exclusively use the word "vape" as both a noun and a verb. While "e-cigarette" is common in medical journals, legal documents, and news reports, using it in a casual social setting can sound overly clinical or stiff.
There is a subtle distinction in usage between "vaping" and "smoking." Because e-cigarettes do not involve combustion (fire), users often specify they are "vaping" to differentiate the activity from smoking traditional tobacco. This distinction is often used in arguments regarding health or the smell of the aerosol compared to cigarette smoke.
In professional or regulatory contexts, you will often see the term "electronic nicotine delivery systems" (ENDS), which is the highly formal umbrella term used by health organizations like the CDC or WHO.
