Metaphors, Similes and Analogys:

[Mr.Mann]

Variable Voltage is like carassing your lover. When you hit the sweet spot, you really know it.

Kudos-go 2 me

(Don't know if anyone has posted anything similar already, if they have let me know and I'll redact mine)

Nice, and yep...you will know it!

Simile:

Proficiently stalking the mailman is like having passed an advanced coarse in hide and seek!

[lettucehead]

A slightly risque (well, for me) simile -


The impatient waiting for the post man when your favorite juice supply is running low is like the anxious anticipation of your period after an 'oops' the month before....

Simile -

Banning vaping in public because someone might think you're smoking cigarettes is like banning apple juice in a bottle because someone might think you're drinking beer.

OOOOOOOOOOH! Bang!

Metaphor -


Your vaping sweet spot is a Dairy Queen sundae on a hot day in July.

[zachofalltrades]

Smoking an analog is like hooking up with your psycho ex: it's a bad idea AND you know that, sooner or later, it's going to kill you.

PG/VG is to eliquid as carcinogens are to cigarettes. (analogy)

[~Sue~Feb2012]

You can have champagne on a beer budget!

Vaping is as vaping does.

You can tell alot about a person by his ecig equipment...

Trying out ejuices is like a box of chocolates...you never know what you're gonna get!

Sorry, I just had to say those that way!

 

[Mr.Mann]

Analogy: K-go is to midnight as no longer is to mine...

Check back by noon...

Analogy
With this economy, swapping to ecigs is like vaping buy one get one free!

Good one. Unless you start going hardware crazy.

Yeah, for whatever I spend on ecigs, something else doesn't get purchased. No more Tim Hortons every damn day...and definitely no crazy nights out at the bar. I was drinking enough Guinness to by a ProVari every couple of days.

Simile- Vaping is like a life raft and cigarettes are the waves that try to pull you under

This post by Kookycole is and always will be the most memorable simile for me, period.

Metaphor: The atomizer was the furnace, my battery is the executioner.

Graphic and fun, and seeing as I am a dripper, I get it. Though, I'D like to not think of my PV as being equated to corporal punishment. Even still, it's badazz enough to be on my list of favs.

Similie: As a smoker my friends always said I had no taste, but thats changed now that I vape!

At first I didn't get this, but two seconds later I realized the double entendre with the word "taste". Clever, really clever!

Simile- If smoking is a death sentence, vaping is the pardon.

My lungs tend to agree with this one...

Simile: Quitting smoking is like pulling out an embedded tick!

So very gross, but it is actually a great parallel. Smoking was in fact "embedded", and it is as nasty as a "tick"!

Metaphor: The button on my PV is a lighter that can never be lost or stolen.

I used to lose my lighter all the time. Funny, they all started surfacing after I started vaping.

Analogy - Smoking is to Vaping as a zoo enclosure is to the Serengeti.

This is one enlightened analogy...I mean it is a glowing bullseye!

Simile: veterans are to noobies as sunshine is to flowers

Pbusardo was my sunshine for months. I owe him a great deal for corresponding with me in emails!

Simile -

Trying to quit smoking with a disposable gas-station ecig is (to me) like trying to stay hydrated in the Sahara only using a coffee straw to drink.

I don't know what to say about this one? Staying hydrated in the Sahara drinking through a coffee straw is possible, but very hard to do!

Vaping flavors are to Analog flavors as the rainbow is to grey scale.

I am an artist and I know my color scale and grey scale...this one was spoken to me in my language!

On a similar note ...

Analogy: Ecigs that need flashy advertisements are the cue that you need to look farther down the road for quality hardware. The quiet ad with the robust specs is where you will find satisfaction. Study and Save!

Analogy: Gas station and mall ecigs are like the tourist shops when you go on vacation; Shop them for ideas, but wait until you've seen the real thing before you buy.

Analogy: Gas station and mall ecigs are like the tourist shops when you go on vacation; The prices are high and the quality is low. Better products await down the road ... beware!

These read like an ecig public service announcement. Info all new vapers need to see.

Simile- The initial cost of vaping is like buying a reliable car. It may cost a little more in the beginning, but it will save you tons of money in the long run.

Words of wisdom, and also a good line when talking to smokers!

Simile -

Vaping around smokers is like playing a card game with your kids - sometimes your win just isn't worth the resultant whines from the poor losers.

Yeah, this is one of those things that we all live with. Of course it is easy to boast, but the new kid on the block always gets ostracized...especially when he/she has all the coolest toys!

The aging of analogs is to e-juice as the aging of fallen leaves is to the aging of fine wines.....

This one didn't click immediately until I thought about that old pack of smokes I have and my BWB RY4. There both old, but one is getting better, and one is even nastier than it was fresh!

Running out of battery life while out and about is like trying to find a power source during the zombie apocalypse.

Yup, exactly! Very scary, and who know what you would be able to do!

Simile - Banning vaping in public because someone might think you're smoking cigarettes is like banning apple juice in a bottle because someone might think you're drinking beer.

If there is ever a trial on the banning of ecigs, I am sure that argument wll come up...let's hope lettucehead's rebuttle will be the present.

Smoking an analog is like hooking up with your psycho ex: it's a bad idea AND you know that, sooner or later, it's going to kill you.

I am just going to act like I think this one to be true. I have no psycho ex...

Analogy: K-go is to midnight as no longer is to mine...

Yo Optics, I forgot to account for different time zones, but no worries.

This is my list so far, then it will get narrowed down to five...how the heck am I supposed to do that?
And yes there were more than this, but it has to get narrowed down.

KUDOS-Go-2 u!

It's funny, because this post was only "liked" by me, but I think it says it all for where we were and and how far we have come. We are no longer caged, but free to roam!

Vaping flavors are to Analog flavors as the rainbow is to grey scale.

Love it, loved it, and always will love it.

Any formerly smoking artist couldn't help but love this.

Simile - Banning vaping in public because someone might think you're smoking cigarettes is like banning apple juice in a bottle because someone might think you're drinking beer.

Perfect, and can't wait to use this one when I go out to a bar!

I hear the Jaws theme song in my head. HAHA

Simile- Vaping is like a life raft and cigarettes are the waves that try to pull you under

Still, the one that will stick with me. It is classic!

p.s. 2-5 are not in any particular order.
