I do not necessarily support or condemn 'cloud chasing', or the term 'tootle puffer'. I do wonder if all of that vapor caused by mostly VG mixtures will have a long term effect on the body. I vape 70% - 75% VG as my sinus allergies cannot stand higher concentrations of PG. But I do so at 10 -11 Watts. An ECF member once posted that PG is currently being used in 'Fog Machines' by Hollywood Studios, but their use is limited by the Actors Guild as the Union doesn't want it's members exposed to the fog for prolonged periods of time. Yet vaping massive quantities of VG heavy e-liquids at higher voltages is somehow 'cool' ?
As I mentioned in the OP, Vaping is simply freedom from 40 years of tobacco for me. When I started vaping 3 1/2 years ago, I would get the "What is that ?" questions. We were using atomizers and cartomizers then, and ProVape and Reos Mods were about the best two options online then. Most attachments were built in the 1.5 -2.0 ohm range. I am still building 1.5 ohm coils for my Mechs, and 2.0 ohm for my VV devices. I am comfortable there. In recent times, a well organized tobacco lobby has soured the publics opinion towards Vaping. Blowing large clouds in a crowded restaurant probably does not help public perception. Vaping is still a relatively new technology, and more is still to come.
But I am happy and comfortable where I am with my equipment, why change ?
I'm a single coil kinda gal for sure. I did my first dual coil trial last week and no no no, it is not for me at all. I like lots of flavor, very low warmth to my vapor and I'm not a cloud chaser by any means but I get plenty of cloud from my single coils. A single coil is my happy place for sure!
I would have to agreeYou're in the right place.
. I started a thread over in RTA for suggestions on RTA's that support single coil users such as ourselves and have gotten some great advice for sure on which RTA's accommodat our single coil love. Very excited about it. I've already got a Calix from By Leo and have a SQuape Reloaded clone, Cthulhu V2 and a Serpent on there way to me. There are definitely more options than these but I'll play and tinker with these and see what I think before ordering others that are on my list. As for what I have right now, the Claix, I love love love it! Can't wait to get these others.
Someone started this thread three months ago, and it has already gotten over 3500 posts. So I guess we are not alone here....
The Overlooked Tootle Puffer Gear Thread
I mostly use bottom feed mods, so I can't help much on Rebuildable Tanks. I think a Kayfun is the closest I've ever come to an RTA. But the link posted above might lead you to some people who know more about RTA's
And check back with us and share some of your insight !

Kayfun Lite Plus is the ONLY tank I would even consider. Authentic or Tobeco -- those have the dome shape on the inside of the chimney-top; the EHPros are very nearly flat there, and the flavor suffers for it.

I have the HCigar Kayfun+ V2, and it is a very good RTA. And, yes, it has a domed chimney top cap.

Sorry.. I'm late with a reply. I to smoked 40+ years and i'm at a much better place today. Thanks for sharing.
Speaking of a 'domed' style chimney top-cap like the Kayfun Lite ... The Lemo 2 also has a slight domed shaped chimney, [but] the chimney is so wide that the Lemo 2 is really designed more for straight lung hits with lots of airflow (unlike the Kayfun which has a smaller diameter chimney that is better suited for mouth to lung vaping using a lower airflow).
I really like the Lemo 2, however, I use the Lemo 2 with the airflow adjusted for a restricted airflow ... but I would really like this great RTA even more if the chimney wasn't so huge.
Just my opinion

Glad I read this. I've been told that the Lemo 2 could be adapted to tight-draw tootle-puffing, and I've been tempted to give it a shot. But knowing it has that fat a chimney... nah. It wouldn't suit me at all. My idea of a good draw is a carto. Or my Achilles.

Andria ... The Atomizer Tube that is attached just below the chimney (atomizer cover) is so wide on the Lemo 2, that there is very little room between it and the glass tank.
The whole thing above the build deck is just very wide.

Generally if I see a slot rather than tiny holes for airflow, I figure it's much too airy for me. So far that has served me well.

I really don't think there is a better tank then the KFL yet and besides tanks are so yesterday.
I don't recall a single instance of a smoker increasing the airflow of a cig, those extra ultra lights with the holes in em, sheesh.

ROFL! Anytime I had dental work and was given that ol "don't smoke" crap, I would just nod and say "yeah right", then go home and cut my ultra-light filters in half, so I didn't have to suck on 'em so hard to get a drag.
Telling me "don't smoke" was pretty much identical to telling the wind not to blow, and same now if someone had the temerity to tell me not to vape. I vaped in the emergency room, after they gave me the shot of morphine and I could actually move without my entire torso seizing up in total lockdown from the pain (appendix).I agree about the KFL+; actually I really wish I could go back to using 'em, but with this gunk monster, it's just not practical. I figure at some point, I'll find another ADV that maybe isn't such a gunker, and I can use my KFL+'s again.
There are a lot of bennies with the Achilles though; I first started decreasing my nic level because of its awesome throat-hit, and it's so tight that I use *very* little ejuice now -- with the kayfuns, I was vaping 6-8ml a day; now about 4.5-5ml. Wish Yeahsmo would get off their butts and get those Achilles 2's made and ready to sell.

Ahh, here's a thread for me. Yurrrrp! Single Coil builds (usually) for me too. I'm not into clouds at all, and I kinda resent that vaping went in the direction that it did, as-far as starterkits for new vapers/mod-users containing cloud-chaser equipment. Very uncool.
Single coil nazi here
I own a Lemo 2 (used to have a Lemo 1, its passed away sadly), and a TFV4 Mini - which i got and straight away gave away all the fancy coils for it within minutes (bought it during a vape meet at my local b&m) to someone else i know who also bought the TFV4 Mini that night, and am sending the dual deck RBA, which i got as a bonus when i bought it, to someone here on the forums, as ill never use it.
Usually running 0.6ohm 3mm ss on tc
Yup, single coiler...i like no muss, no fuss vapage

It's very expensive. So expensive I wouldn't buy one. Then My daughter and her boyfriend gave me a $150 Gift Card for Christmas. So I bought a Chalice III.
This has to be a "Tootle Puffers" dream atomizer. Adjustable air flow, single coil setup, all stainless steel. The machining is immaculate. Mark Bugs has a genuine masterpiece is this little atty. Perched upon a VV Grand that I had previously sent back to the 'Spa' to have the juice well lowered to accommodate the wider, newer atomizers, this little baby is delivering a rich, cool vape at 2.2 ohms. About the only thing I am not fond of is the post screws. I would prefer ports, or at least hex or Phillips head screws. But the way it vapes makes it easy to overlook such a small detail.
