Etymology: "Vaporers" is simply the plural of "vaporer," so the history of the singular is what matters here. The noun is formed from "vapor," which comes from Latin "vapor" meaning steam, breath or exhalation, with the agent ending "-er" added to name a person who performs the action. The core idea is therefore a person who produces vapor, a sense that fits the modern meaning of people who use vaporizing devices. Because the noun is built from familiar parts, its meaning follows directly from the base word rather than from any special coinage.

Synonyms: fume, mist
