I haven't called them analogs once. It really sounds weird to me and my wife made fun of me when she found out that's what some of the vaping community called them. What can I say, I'm sensitive.
Can we stop calling regular cigs "Analogs"?

I have all the tools to make my own and just couldn't justify the cost of the wood and the time required to clean up the shop when Desk Caddy's price was so low.
Looked at several other stands and didn't see anything I liked this well at this kind of price. I'll be buying another one soon.
If I tried hard, I'm sure I could be greatly offended by the term electronic cigarette, as mine contains no electronics and is clearly not a cigarette.... Its a thingy {MODERATED}

I hate the term e-cig also but when asked about any of my mods by a non vaper, I just about always call it an "e-cig on steroids." At least then they seem to understand what I'm talking about.
Wonder if they'd do a custom stand? I'll need to give em' a shout and ask.
in all honesty, to perpetuate a 21 page topic that I barely skimmed,
Analog would, to me, mean its mechanical. Theres little to no circuitry, and the device primarily would rely on a mechanical means to accomplish its objective (IE, an Analog time piece would use a mainspring or weight system to drive a series of gears, pallet fork, balance wheel, etc to keep track of time, whereas a digital watch would, to keep it incredibly simple, be a quartz watch. Some may argue that a analog watch may also be a dial vs a digital watch having a lcd screen.)
To put it bluntly, I'd see a analog vaporizer as being a mechanical mod.
That being said, calling cigs Analogs is a simple effective way of refering to them as the old or inferior product.
Frankly, I dont know the exact definition of Analog, nor do I care. But in the CONTEXT, Analog being refered to as traditional cigarettes, it works.

Down here it is coke, as in we have tea, coke and coffee. What type of coke do you want? Dr. Pepper, Root Beer, Coke, Sprite, etc!!!
I've two grandsons (7 & 4) and their topics are of far more interest than this thread.
I see both views on this as valid.
Bottom line, you call it what you want.. and let others call it what they want. You can't steer the flow of terms on the internet.
You just can't.

My stand was a bit of a custom stand. I picked the bottom from one and the top from another. They now offer that combo as version 3. They were very friendly when I emailed asking to mix and match.
Good point. Maybe we should start calling them 8-Tracks. Or if that reference is too old cassettes could work....ooh or BetaMax's...Atari's...or...
Exactly...now I am going to blow the minds of many northerners....our tea ONLY comes in the "iced" variety.
Whatever you call them, I no longer smoke. It's a pain sometimes not having a Bic lighter when you need one, though.
I like Cancer Stick for tobacco cigarettes.

Dave, I've had the same problem recently needing a lighter. I always had a bic mini in my right pocket. Damn near tore hole in the pocket searching for it yesterday. Guy asked me if I had a light and said sure...
Back when I played on weekends in one night gigs, I used to carry a roll of solder tape. You could strip a wire and insert it into the hole in phone plug for a microphone or speaker cable, wrap solder tape around it, and hit it with the Bic for a couple of seconds. The tape would melt and make a nice, shiny solder joint. Now, I would have to walk around the venue and beg to borrow a lighter.
I probably need to buy one for my gig bag! These days I just carry an extra cable or two and hardly ever need them because the equipment stays in one place.

Get some swedish fire steel and put it on your keychain, that way if the zombie apocalypse happens you have an edge.
I like poop. In the same line of thinking, poop could also be called stinky.
