Do you think analogs is any better?

No analog is worse. Not only does it sound like someone can't resist being a pretentious a... er donkey, but it is epically stupid since vaping is actually the analog for smoking, not vice versa.

People who use "analog" for cigarette need a full course of ECT.

i think they're using analog as in "not digital", not an equivalent or replacement too.


that doesn't make it any better mind you. i mean i used to smoke the tape from my old 8-tracks. that was REAL analog, erryone else is just posers. also, my eyes bleed if i blink too much...or at all. but that's probably not related.

Please expound on this for me, PV Master wheezal, but explain to me the difference between a cigarette and a PV in terms of "digital" / "Not Digital".

Seems to me, they both produce an analog output, the only difference being the interval of output.

I use the word "cigarette". Most folks know what they are. Yes they stink and they stink more when you quit using them.
Using the term "stinky" is just part of the psychology associated with any hobby that uses a specialized jargon. In order to "join" this group you have to learn the jargon. Doctors have this, lawyers have this, the military has this...etc. If you don't know what VG or PG stands for you aren't in the vaping hobby.

as i understand it, since E-cigs are ..ya know..electric. peeps call them digital. so the older format, that is regular cigs, must be analog.

like i mentioned (but for some reason you didnt quote, good cherry picking btw) it doesn't make the analogy any better.

I didn't quote that out of jealousy. I tried smoking 8tracks, but I kept getting too many songs at once. (and I DID include the elipses, indicating something was missing)

i know as much aboot PV's as i do about the tenets of Empirical Ontologicalism....

hrmm..dunno where that came from...

Maybe you smoked, er, umm, vaped your custom title?

Maybe the Mods thought it was too stinky?

Maybe it's hiding behind a cloud?

Maybe we should call em binaries? They were either on (lit) or off (not lit) while our digitalis have multiple states of operation lol
Personally I prefer calling them smokes, tabs (that's a Scottish thing), cancer sticks or just cigs

this.

examples: "a pack of smokes", "I'm going for a smoke", "let's go smoke", "I was just outside smoking"

I think it's childish to avoid calling them smokes or cigarettes for whatever the reason is.

I just call them cigarettes. I don't like the word analogue. One thing I really HATE is when pbusardo calls paper towels VAPER TOWELS. C'mon Phil, it's a paper towel, don't try to be cute calling them that. It erks me the wrong way.

wait..so...is it a towel made out of vapor?

cuz that doesn't seem absorbent at all. i imagine those Bounty commercials would suck.

and the term "analog" doesn't make much sense at all.

It implies that vaping is a digital process. While it *may* involve some digital circuitry in a VV mod, the application of voltage to a coil is very much an analog process.

Just like the signal on your stereo to your speakers. That is an analog signal.

There's nothing digital about a mech mod.

I hate the word rhododendron. I don't hate rhododendrons. I just hate the word rhododendron. It sounds like a cool prehistoric beast. Someone says "Hey, want to see my rhododendron" and you think "Yeah, that'll be cool! Did you recreate one like in Jurassic Park?" And you get all excited thinking you will see a dinosaur and then it turns out to just be a flowering plant.
