why do people blow into their rda's before taking hits?

Could be to tone down the spitback? Idk. I've never done it.
Edit: just tried it. It let's the coils warm up a bit, but it's the same otherwise. Could be useful on a mech.
Generally see this with techniques learned for cloud chucking. While the coil using very thick wire is ramping up, exhaling into the RDA, then once fully exhaled, the coil should be up to full temp, pull in breath on the RDA. Modified version, may not be competition level coils, coils are still relatively slow firing up, I do it, testing the coils as they ramp up, vapor starts coming out the air inlets, good to take a hit.
When they blow into the RDA quickly before inhaling it's usually a short breath out as they are emptying the last of their lung capacity. Instead of exhaling all the way then taking the draw, the last split second exhale is into the RDA.
This is usually done for liquid spit back since a lot of RDA's have wide bore tips.
I also think it helps get some air on the coil as it's heating up for a larger draw.

I believe it has to do with the coil ramp up. So when you initially hit a mod, especially with lower guage and low ohm coil(s), there is se ramp up time and vapor is still being produced. Instead of drawing that vapor and exhaling, some vapers blow out the initial Vapor through the air intake and proceed to take their hit. I have found it really gets the vapor flowing. Of course this is my opinion so we'll see what others say about it. I am scared to spit juice everywhere when I do it though. I have recently started this technique.
It's called "The Push." It acts as part exhale and part get rid of non warmed up vapor.
I would guess to see if the atty is creating vapor before a deep inhale.... dont want to be inhaling straight air when going for massive cloudz...
I don't know exactly why it's done or the 'cool' names for it, but in my little group it is kinda the way you cool the coils before hitting it, **kinda your show of respect for the build** giving you a chance to clear* the 'heat hit' if you will... We build tight, small coils and generally try to see who can get theirs (with safety on mind at all times) the hottest, quickest- and provide that deep, thick plume of smoke.. It also (once you're used to your build) gives you that extra little push of air that is in your lungs and it expells it, not only (once again) cooling the coil to produce more smoke, but give you that extra space to hold the "chucked" cloudage.

Well I mean if you don't want to "add buffers" and 'just strive to be basic,' I GUESS. Haha, no hate just vape
Reading that again I sound douche-y, I apologize. It was intended as a quip, little jab for no reason, sorry again!
I do it to reduce initial spit back and Ensure I'm getting solid vape when cloud chasing. I want the densest vapor and getting the last bit of air from lungs out so I can take a full lung hit

Every Edge in Competition counts.
Use any technique that will produce a higher volume of Exhaled Vapor.
*Not needed by the casual Vapor looking for simple satisfaction*

This applies to tanks too, works well, TFV4 looks pretty cool when it's done. I'm 39 though, so I don't do it 
I try not to do it in tanks. The tfv is my exception as the coils are vertical. Some of the coil heads/ builds that lay horizontal are thinner gauge and a seemingly gentle push can make them touch the sides and make them short. YMMV. And just don't ever do it in the nautilus my wife found it ruins the coils. (3 coils down the drain) yes she's blonde.

Perhaps to just check vapour is being created rather than getting a dry hit.
Other than that I think mostly meaningless.
