Weapon Focus: Ranged Touch Attack
Would I have to take Weapon Focus Ranged Touch Attach and Weapon Focus Rays so that my Schorching Ray and my Acid Arrow both get the bonus?
Or if I'm using Vampiric Touch with the Reach Spell Feat?

I don't beleive that Pathfinder rules have covered this explicitly yet. Probably will in Ultimate Magic.
In the mean time, read the 'Weapon Like Spells' section of 'Complete Arcane' which coveres exactly what your asking about.
Rays are ranged touch attacks. They, themselves, are not a "weapon;" they are the delivery of a "ranged touch attack."
A ranged touch attack isn't a weapon. Hence, can't take it for weapon focus or improved crit. I've always allowed players to take weapon focus and improved crit 'Ray' however.

Weapon Focus (Combat): Choose one type of weapon. You can also choose unarmed strike or grapple (or ray, if you are a spellcaster) as your weapon for the purposes of this feat.

Sean more or less covers this appropriately enough in the (hard to find) FAQ.
Quote:Can you take Weapon Specialization (ray) or Improved Critical (ray) as feats? How about Weapon Specialization (bomb) or Improved Critical (bomb)?
All four of those are valid choices.Note that Weapon Specialization (ray) only adds to hit point damage caused by a ray attack that would normally deal hit point damage; it doesn't increase ability score damage (such as from ray of enfeeblement) or drain, negative levels (such as from enervation), or other damage or penalties from rays.
Weapon focus isn't on that list specifically but you'd have to be pretty pedantic to argue it doesn't apply since it's not specifically on there.
Edit: My reading challenge isn't dyslexia, it is skimming a topic and assuming what the topic without really reading it. thus my above answer doesn't really directly apply to the topic at hand :D

Weapon Focus: Ray is written in the book. It's fine. The OP was asking if he could take Weapon Focus: Ranged Touch Attack and have it apply to all RTAs including rays.
*edit* However, the FAQ link there is still useful when considering the topic, so technically we're still contributing!
As for the original post I would certainly allow weapon focus (RTA) with rays, orbs, and arrows all lumped together but most of the references I've seen refer to Rays specifically which would imply otherwise. ask your GM, he'll probably let it slide.

Since 3.0, the rule of thumb was to break ranged touch attack spells into two "weapon types" for purposes of feats: missiles and rays. acid splash, acid arrow, or the 3.x orb spells are missiles, with just about every other ranged touch attack spell (or spells modified by Reach Spell metamagic) being rays or using other rules (such as splash weapons for fire seeds (acorn)). Acid Dart, Binding Darkness (APG), Fire Bolt, Hand of the Acolyte/Apprentice, Icicle, Lightning Arc, and Telekinetic Fist domain/school abilities should probably be considered missiles, while other ranged touch domain/bloodline/school abilities are explicitly rays. 3.x and earlier versions had more missile spell choices than Pathfinder, so the difference was less glaring.
The only sticking point for using "ranged touch attacks" as a weapon type (as long as splash weapons are treated as their own type), IMO, is the spell spectral hand. It is neither a missile nor a ray, but delivers ranged touch attacks and already gains a +2 bonus on attack rolls. As long as spectral hand and splash weapons are not included, I don't think it would be unbalancing to combine the missile and ray types in Pathfinder.
If the game system broke ranged spells into clearly distinct categories it might be more reasonable but as it is currently it's pretty weird and I'm not comfortable using legacy rules, mostly because I don't have sources to reference.

Reviews for "Hand Held Magic Wand Massagers: The Secret to a Stronger, More Powerful Orgasm"
1. Emily - 2/5 - I was really disappointed with the "Hand held magic wand massager". The vibrations were weak and did not provide any relief to my sore muscles. Additionally, the size and shape of the wand made it difficult to use on certain areas of my body. I ended up having to purchase a different massager that actually worked for me. Overall, I would not recommend this product.
2. Max - 1/5 - This wand massager was a complete waste of money. Not only did it break after just a few uses, but the vibrations were also extremely loud and uncomfortable. It was impossible to relax and enjoy a massage with this device. I tried contacting customer service for a refund, but they were unresponsive. Save your money and invest in a higher quality massager from a reputable brand.
