nicotine != tobacco. Tobacco contains nicotine... but a vape is a substitute for tobacco... that's the whole point of it, to get nicotine without using tobacco.

Meat contains protein. If someone uses a protein substitute you don't call it a "meat-shake".

"meat-shake"

I think I'll add that to my lexicon, like "meat-bag" and "meat popsicle".

What about "spam purse"?

That's just a purse with Spam inside.
