I guess that I'm still "stuck" with an 808, because that's what I'm using.:laugh:

I actually think that mine is fine, and I haven't had any desire to upgrade to anything else yet.

You use the esmart clearos don't ya? I think we chatted on this before. So many people on here to keep track of...
Did you buy any of those 808 threaded egos I spoke of? If not too late I bought the last ones.

People are certainly not free to vape anywhere. There are laws regarding where people can vape legally. Being a jerk or a bad "vape ambassador" doesn't have anything to do about the amount of exhaled vapor if vaping is prohibited by law. I would be more concerned about someone vaping a cigalike while hanging around a school playground than a cloudchaser watching reruns of Trailer Park Boys.

A cloudchaser watching reruns of Trailer Park Boys would most likely be doing so at home. That is no business of mine. They can go and blow clouds bigger than their house for all I care.

I've been reading about all of this legislation and the efforts to ban and tax vaping lately, and I just think that certain public cloud chasers hurt the vaping movement.

I don't judge the ones at the comps for it. I judge the ones that do it in public walking down the street or the ones that never smoked and vape just for cloud chasing.. Cloud chasing isn't for me, I'm more of a "Flavor chaser".

The flavor part doesn't seem like a good complaint about it honestly. I vape 100% VG Unflavored. Nicotine and vg is my go to vape in my devices.

I second NancyR, in comps some people might be chasing the prizes.

Some clouds comps where I live, they're strictly monitored by employees. Fresh Batteries, build on the spot and builds checked before using by employees of the shops. I just don't find a joy in it personally.

Am I allowed to walk down the street with a DNA 40? Or is that too much vapor?

Yes, we've chatted about 808 clearomizers before.:)

I'm using the esmarts and the kanger t4s and the mig cig fusion max currently.

I just ordered another bunch of clearomizers last night, so that I will be stocked up for a while.

No, I haven't yet acquired any other hardware.

Are people that mod their cars posers? I mean those trick wheels don't make it ride any better right?

You don't need to be suspicious of cloud chasers - they are humans too. Reach out and talk to one, they like peanuts so I've heard.

Posers can be good people too. being a poser does not make one a bad person, just a poser who likes the spotlight.
There are some bad posers and some bad non posers too,

I am moving up to the evod single bottom coil clearos. The dual coil ones are problematic at best and more difficult to rewick/coil. Have a couple of ego bateries and ordered 808-ego adapters for my 808 threaded batteries. Will likely keep using my tobacco flavor in my esmarts and use flavors in the evods as it tastes better in them. Also I can rewick/coil the evods and I like that.
I have given all my 808 stick batteries to a couple of vaping converts I made to get them started.

think I will order another 10 T4's though I like those little clearos.

That's a good idea.

I have an uncle that is a smoker (40+ years), and I'll be visiting him this summer, so I will most likely be bringing a little vape kit with me to give to them as a gift.

There's a cloud chaser living in my neighborhood.....I'm pretty sure he's the dude thats been sneaking over here and cutting my lawn. I'll catch him one of these days....one of these days, he'll slip up....and I'll be there. Damn Cloud Chasers.

And I agree...they're the ones that are causing the tax proposals and new legislation......it has NOTHING to do with the BILLIONS of dollars us "proper" vapers are costing Big Tobacco...and in turn, the Government. Nope, it's not about the money....it's about people who do it wrong. Now, where's that sarcasm emoticon.....

I almost never comment on threads like this, but.......

I have been vaping on and off for years and have finally kicked a 33 year habit. The more I get into vaping the more I like thicker vapor. I wouldn't say I am a cloud chaser, but some of my friends would.

For some of us with true addiction issues it may really come down to the literal NEED for more/better/bigger. Or maybe I just find I like the full bodied mouth feel and the ritual of the long exhale.

Does any of this make me a poser? I don't know, but I will run the idea past my 22 year old son and see what he thinks. :lol:

OK, I may be doing this all wrong so correct me if I am. At work, I use my MVP with an Kangertech Areotank and 24 mg/ml Unflavored. Mainly to stealth vape but it curbs my nic fix since I can only do it so often. Also, when I use lower nic on this setup, I have to do it more to curb my fit. On the ride home I use my Sigelei 100 watt set from 18-25 watts with a Kangertech Subtank @ 0.6 ohms vaping on 6 mg nic juice. The reason for me personally to use that high power setup is to use less nic as it atomizes the nic a lot better. I take a few pulls on this one and it curbs the feeling just the same as other setup with higher nic. Maybe I should just make a higher pg so it doesn't create clouds but will it hurt my throat more if I do? If it does, the only option I would have is higher VG which then creates more clouds that come with a less TH. I am not a cloud chaser, I prefer flavor but I also do not want a really harsh TH. Wow, did I just say that out loud?

When I first started, I was all about the TH and now I do not go for that. Now I have to rethink my vaping experience. Although, I do not get the flavor with the small setup as I do with the big setup. Then again, I have not made a high pg juice since I started. The reason being is that I don't have the money to keep replacing the coils in my small setup as easily and cost effective as the big setup. Let's see here, my small setup I spent about $15 for a month on coils. My big setup, I spent $8 for the past 5 months and still have enough cotton and wire for at least another 8 months. With that said, are cloud chasers posers? Or are they thrifty shoppers? ;) I say to each is there own there but personally don't make it or it seems that I don't try to get the clouds big, they just happen to be big because of how I am running my setup that works to keep me off of the analogs.

Honestly, I see "cloud chasing" as a niche within vaping. Like a hobby within a hobby.

Remember going outside in the winter as a kid and being fascinated by the visible vapor you could exhale? I think it's not all that different. It's human nature, curiosity, to see what we are capable of. I think when a cloud chaser exhales a big one, it's like, "wow, did you see that?"

LOL this thread title.

I don't even have to read the comments. Every time I walk into a local vape shop I have the urge to slap the hell out of some cloud chasing, skinny jean wearing, Justin Boober hair cut, yolo swag, 140 LB anorexia 19 yr old male Moderated who looks like he's never smoked a cigarette in his life nor been outside of his parents house after 9PM.

I guess the B&M's don't care as long as they are getting money.

Why should you care though?

This is quite possibly the crappiest thing I have read today. Just because you don't like the looks of someone, you want to slap the hell out of them?!

I guess you don't remember being young and trying to find a way to be different.

I agree with LoC, the more I have gotten into this, the most satisfying aspect at this point has become a nice dense vape! Clouds just seem to be there, sorry if that offends but most of my vaping occurs in my own vehicle or in smoking areas, otherwise I try to keep it low key! Last thing I want to do is draw attention to myself, I'm just not a "look at me" type of person!

There's no such thing as a good poser.

Either you stand up for what you believe in without embarrassment like a man

Or realize it not for you and walk away.

There is no room for pretenders

Being different means NOT looking like every other pretentious entitled dooch

Just a friendly reminder, don't take things personally. Everyone does have opinions.

With the devices that are coming out, we will be seeing bigger vapor. It is the evolution of the vaping scene, if you will. And also keep in mind, the powers that be were gunning to get vaping banned and regulated out of existence long before these devices were here.
