It was called Popcorn Lung because it was caused by a specific chemical used in early Popcorn ~~flavored vapes~~. That is not a condition caused by all vapes, and the chemical that caused it is no longer used for obvious reasons.

Edited for the pedantic.

It was actually called popcorn lung because it was a condition suffered by workers at prepackaged popcorn factories. Similar to black lung in coal mines.
