I am new to vaping, and have read several posts on various groups on Facebook of people who make vaping a dangerous game, building coils at an ungodly low resistance to make a big cloud, I just dont understand it, In my opinion those are the folks who gonna ruin our freedom of vaping,we all should just enjoy our toots with a good satisfying taste and not care about a big tasteless cloud..Whats your opinion?

I don't think it really matters honestly. They do it for the love of the clouds. If they do it in public I'm sure it intrigues people to know more not with the intentions of ruining anything for us. It's not the clouds that are ruining it for us. It's the ignorance of people who think vaping is the same as stinkys ring to ruin it for all of us

I try to keep my clouds distanced from anyone I don't know personally. But when I sit it down on the restaurant table I always get asked "what's that device?" Slowly but surely I am intriguing strangers and picking at their curiosity. Most of them reply with a "Oh! Cool. Okay, I've seen those before." I believe it's those who blow clouds where they know they shouldn't be. (Campuses, hospitals, theaters, malls etc..) Aside from the bad apples. As long as we act as if people will automatically assume its an actual cigarette and vape where society deems it appropriate. Vapers should have nothing to worry about. IMO

Opinion?

OK.

It's a war...between those trying to prove Darwin correct, and those that want to nanny everyone. With many "in-between" people that do their research and like to take chances* for big clouds.

I think it's about Fads, education, risk-taking. I don't find it necessary. Can get plenty of vapor off of normal coils. But that's me.

* = we don't have 20 years of history on this stuff. Basically SLR/cloud-chasing could have more issues if any. Same with battery stressing. But many use caution too.

I look at it just like anything controversial. All the hunters who 'don't care about assault rifles' - because - "why would you need that". Will find a lot less brothers in arms when they come for the hunting rifles.

You have to accept this is part of vaping, even if it seems foolish to you. And support and defend it as you would the way YOU vape. Otherwise divide and conquer rules apply.

I am brand new at vaping, days new at winding my own stuff. And bought batteries capable of putting out well over my anticipated needs. A good charger, and a few RDA's to try. I wound a .7 ohm dual coil and - honestly. Pass. It's too hot. I prefer the tighter hit of say a mini protank and a lot more flavor. So I took it out, wound a 1.2. And closed down the airflow. Much better.

The Aqua clone I have came with dual 1.8ohm coil. No big clouds. Have it pinched down to half an air hole maybe? It's like getting kicked in the chest! Holy crap!

I may change my mind at some point. But as of now. I don't see the point.

That said, more power to them. It's their body, their money, and their responsibility to proceed carefully.

For the record....I didn't say it was particularly foolish in and of itself.

I said some people are foolish, others educated about it, others would outlaw it as "bad for the cause".

It may be a bit riskier. Hard to say for sure. Basically it pushes everything to the limits...battery and body/vape volume.

0 mg thick clouds may prove safer to the body than 12 mg "normal" clouds.

I only cloud chase in the comfort of my own home or the local B&M if I want to flex my coil-building peen. Everyone knows that the lower your coil resistance... you know the rest.

I don't condone doing it in public. It will just help give business owners and lawmakers ammunition. I can fill a room with vapor very quickly, but I would never do it in a public setting where someone is giving me the freedom to vape. That is rude.
