It's not going to win any competitions, but I get a fair amount of cloud from a mini protank on an Itaste VV v3 using 75/25 pg/vg. It's plenty for me.

To me it is not about competition.
Keeping up with the Rip Tripper sells a lot of high powered gear though ;)
I have enough trouble keeping up with myself.

I like my little iTaste VV3's.

Well, my first suggestion is not to put any credence in other peoples' opinions. My second suggestion is to avoid the beard at all costs. My self esteem and intelligence would have to be very low to care what Mr. Trippers thinks of how I vape.

haha, i can't believe anyone actually cares what he thinks. someone (possibly you?) made a post here somewhere that roughly equated him to a used car salesman; other than giving him more credit than he deserves, i think that pretty much sums him up.

I can honestly say ... I've never watched one of his videos ... I find him annoying :smokie:

Lol, but that one wasn't me :). However, whatever he tells people is his favorite of the week suddenly sells out everywhere. So, if I made a product for vaping, I would want to send him one.

Honestly though, I can't even watch him for 30 seconds. I might not even manage to muddle through the review of my own product.

Most people giving advice to a new user would suggest staying away from advanced vaping hardware, high powered devices, building your own coils and some over kill about battery safety, learn about ohm's law, all the usual stuff. And most advice given is through an online forum such as ECF. I'm always coming across threads in which a new user, in the new members forum, asks for advice and it's always the usual stuff. Being warned about the dangers of venting batteries etc.
Devices used for tooting are for beginners !. They are !. More advanced users use them too though, and no one said they didn't. Mouth to lung is for beginners !. If a reviewer said that mouth to lung vaping is "solely" for beginners then that would sound odd, but no one would say that, no reason to, because it isn't true !.

So just to make this sound as transparent as i can. Mouth to lung vaping is for beginners, but seasoned vapers still use them too.

I'm kinda on the Outside. Because I like Rip Tripper.

Not so Much because I believe everything he says, I Don't. But because his Up-Close Camera Work is Crystal Clear, his Video's are Short and to the Point, and he Uses a lot of Jump Cuts.

The Whole Southern Bumpkin thing is, to me, just his Stick.

Dude helped me build some correct coils when I started he has been an asset to the vape community.
He does have that sorta car saleshoe persona but he has nothing on this guy..

Nah.. Tootle puffers just like hot, high pg vapor. All jacked up on nic, with their sissy mary Provari's. :D
Well then.I guess I'm not a tootle puffer after all.

I prefer my vape cool, use 50/50, just lowered my nic to 6mg and can't afford a sissy mary provari g can't afford any other kind of provari, either). :pervy:

    Even as recently as a year ago, I would've agreed with you. Nowadays, though, it's just so easy and safe to start with what we used to consider "advanced." I mean, I'd consider a Subtank on a 50w iStick to be a beginner-level set-up, but even with that you have more airflow and can blow bigger clouds than a drilled out Nimbus on a mech from 2-3 years ago.

    Guess I will be a beginner for life!!!!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!! All aside from my tootle puffing machine, it was a great beginner for me for when I started vaping. Now a days, I would agree that a Subox is a good beginner now as I had a friend try an ego which he did not like. Suggested the Subox and now he quit the stinkies for good. What ever works for a person is good enough for me.

    Plus his build skills, coil wrapping and wicking technique are crystal clear.

    Quite right , i never actually considered that. Maybe in the not so different future the only people tooting mouth to lung will be those that originally started vaping with such a device, and eventually no new users will be doing it.
