"which" is not what you want with bash. It is /usr/bin/which, not a bash built-in, so it doesn't tell you what bash will do. In a new bash window, if I run:
$ type vim
vim is /usr/local/bin/vim
$ vim -c q
# the screen clears...
$ which vim
/usr/local/bin/vim
$ type vim
vim is hashed (/usr/local/bin/vim)
So, better use "type". Seeing vim hashed to something you don't expect would at least be a hint towards Tony's advice to try hash -r.
