"Ok, you’ve seen the term on a few threads on ECF, the biggest e cig forum, and you’ve scratched your head thinking…… “What in the world is a Tootle Puffer?!?!” You’re not alone. Many are wondering. Yet, there are a several people who know exactly what it means, and have smiled their way into the Tootle Puffers Club. Let’s have some fun. Let’s find out who actually IS a Tootle Puffer, and let’s define it!*
“tootle puffers” came from the itty bitty mods thread on ECF. The sub ohmers looking for 100watt + mods to run high wattage for clouds and such called those of us who run low watts (10-15 or less), using toppers like protanks, T3s, non-sub ohm tanks (including Kayfuns and the like building around 2 ohm coils) looking for small size and battery life only “low wattage tight draw tootle puffers”.
So what’s a tootle puffer? Someone who vapes at low power, and doesn’t make big clouds.
You might be a Tootle Puffer if:
1. You don’t exceed 20W
2. You own an Ego, Provari, or 10 or 20W istick
3. You own a non subohm clearomizer
4. You collect MolehillMountain drip tips
5. You have no interest in subohming
6. You have a Kayfun, but not an Orchid
7. You have a single coil dripper built over 1 ohm"
Are you a Tootle Puffer?
The term started on the rebuildable-ecigs forum in early 2013. It was meant as an insult directed towards people who weren't keeping up with the latest gear by someone with no grasp of the English language. It was so funny that someone would try to insult someone by calling them a "leisurely vaper" that it stuck around.
Cloud chaser was also originally a dig about chasing the latest gear but the person who received said insult was the competitive type and liked the connection with storm chasers. (And conveniently ignored the my little pony reference )
It migrated over to ECF in late 2013 and the selection you posted above is what cat thought it meant.
it just so happens a lot of people who aren't chasing the latest gear also happen to fit cats definition.
