You should chime in more, you have a lovely eloquence when you do jump in.

If everyone would just do TC it would be a lot easier. TC doesn't care if you're MTL or DTL. TC doesn't care about sub-Ω or about watts (much). TC just aims to please.
Power control (as in VW) doesn't care either. At least as far as the user goes. Just like TC, if your coil is in the acceptable range, you set your preference, and the circuitry does the math and keeps you there.

And again I will mention vaping is an international fact. There is not going to be a smooth transition to a standard terminology. You don't fight it you learn to be flexible and find common ground.

My Em needs a stroll. Good night all.
L., I am not looking for a new terminology. It exists. I read extensively in the archives here. These terms were all coined for a reason, and were pretty much correctly used, at the start. Terms like Direct to Lung and Mouth to Lung are descriptive and easily understood, as long as they are applied to styles of inhalation. If you start to use MTL as shorthand for "low wattage", even if that is normal for MTL vaping, it becomes confusing instead of clarifying.

Until you hold the button too long...

Or vape the atty dry...

What you are commenting on is true but not the reality. The reality is that language evolves and naturally has growing pains as a result. You flow with evolution or you spend your energy wading upstream against it. I prefer to flow with it, makes the journey more enjoyable and relaxing.

Suit yourself. I will continue to be as accurate as possible, in using terms, in order to clarify, not confuse. I hope you will go with the flow when contradicted.:)

If everyone would just do TC it would be a lot easier. TC doesn't care if you're MTL or DTL. TC doesn't care about sub-Ω or about watts (much). TC just aims to please.
VW, VV, or even just a mechanical switch don't care whether you MTL or DL either.

TC is great when it's working as it should. But my experience, based on using it for a year, is that it doesn't work as it should all that reliably.

No matter the type of power source, first and foremost, you need an atty that's compatible with your vaping style.

And SO (back to the OP), "Change (her) mind"! ;):D

It's just misunderstood.:)

The next time(s) will be my first time(s) {beep-beep}.

Upside down is a bit tricky DPL ... I use an RTA and I let the wicks saturate while right side up between drags. Drippers tend to leak into my mouth a bit so that's out.

Now, zero gravity vaping is really tricky. I find I have to spin the mod a bit between drags to get the juice to the bottom of the atty so the wicks get fed. It's a real pain, and forget about chain vaping! :rolleyes:

beep beep :cool:

NOW I wanna go vapin' on the Vomit Comet!!!

I am one of those people that cannot do TC. It's not that I don't know how to use it, more that my taste buds don't agree with the metals needed to use it. Also, I like consistency, so I know i would end up grabbing a mech or non TC mod and vape it dry unconsciously thinking TC would kick in, and I don't need that.

Everyone has their preference, and not one of them are going to be right for everyone. Some may prefer to go off of taste to know when their atty is dry, some may want to depend on their mod to let them know. Neither is better than the other and they all have flaws.

@Katdarling congrats on finding your preferred set up, sometimes it can be quite a long and costly journey. I wouldn't dare try to talk you out of something that is working for you.

I'm trying!:lol:

But my experience, based on using it for a year, is that it doesn't work as it should all that reliably.

That's the part I don't get. I don't have a single DNA and it works for me. Sometimes I need to figure out how a mod works with it but after that it's reliable.

Some not liking the smoothness of TC I can believe, people smoke Winstons. Although that could be fixed with TC curve as it becomes more of a thing like I used VW curve to smooth VW out.

I am one of those people that cannot do TC. It's not that I don't know how to use it, more that my taste buds don't agree with the metals needed to use it.

I sort of get that, at least I can believe it because I know what I thought of Ni. Hard to believe everyone doesn't love SS but believable. I have 4 mods that are TC Ni/Ti I don't use any more because I like everything about SS and have enough TC SS mods.

My problem is breath control. Different times, different moods, long and slow puff, short and hard puff, VW doesn't like variable puffs. I just don't grab those VW mods any more. I should retire them but I do like the thought of the claptons on them, I was just finding VW joy when TC came out so I didn't get to use them much.

SS gives me a strange metallic taste, like sucking on a coin. I have zero interest in Ti. I love NI80, and have no issues at all with K1. Neither if which work on TC.

Though I will say, even without the issue with SS that I have, I still would be a power user since I love my mechs and the way they hit more than any other device I have used yet. Which reinforces my point in my last post, there is no one right way for everyone.
