Thanks for the (1st) helpful suggestion on what was meant as a simple straightforward yes no poll. tbh, I'm not so vested in this community making forum sparring worth my time. Ive already requested my account deletion. All the best
I am writing this in the hope you might someday read this post.
I don't believe anyone had any intention of turning your thread into a sparring match - however, what you suggested has implications.
Yes, jokes were made - but all kidding aside, people who are new to vaping (perhaps yourself included) need to know that we should be drawing air through the coil when we put power to it.
First, for the cooling aspect. You don't want a coil getting too hot. If a person doesn't have temperature control, the only thing keeping a coil from burning hotter and hotter is 1) airflow around the coil and 2) the length of time a coil is fired.
This continual heating of the coil is why most vaping devices have, as a SAFETY feature, a time limit on how long the fire button can be engaged, this is a safety feature both for the safety of the liion battery, as well as for the coil - you neither want to heat your coil to the point of burning your juice or to the point of burning your wicking material inside the coil.
While so long as there is juice on your cotton it won't burn as a general rule there is only so much there and too hot a temp will cause it to leave at a faster rate than can be properly wicked and much hotter it could potentially burn anyway..
Therefore, there are safety features in most mods. If your coil isn't warm enough at first go, then you can always take a puff without inhaling in order to heat the coil, then take a nice drag off your now warmer coil.
But to just sit and allow your coil to burn with no air for any length of time is not a good thing. Burnt juice and burnt cotton are not good for your lungs, and any one who inhales that repeatedly for any length of time will have problems.
This is why the safety features of temperature control is a good and positive thing, especially for new vapers. It won't allow you to burn either your juice or your wicking material. It shuts down first and keeps everything nicely regulated for you.
I don't know how true this is, but I once read that inhaling once on some burnt cotton is the tar equivalent of one cigarette - and we all quit cigarettes for this reason, to avoid the damage cigarettes cause. If you ever accidentally get a dry hit, however, you will put a lot of stock in the above statement as it is horrible, and not only in the way it tastes but also the way it feels in your throat and lungs.
When people make jokes about posts such as yours, it's often done out of surprise that anyone would willingly burn up their juice and heat their coil to dangerous temperatures prior to an inhale. It seems, on the surface to those vaping any length of time, to be an absurd thing to do purposefully.
It's not making fun of you, it's a knowledge based reaction to your suggestion that anyone would do such a thing. Although, TC was invented for a reason, and a lot of people benefit from safety features which saves them from the harm things like burning up your cotton and juice can cause.
I don't understand leaving the forum however. If you took it personally you shouldn't have. It's not personal at all, and no one attacked you personally.
Is it a good thing to know if someone out there is causing themselves harm? Absolutely yes. ..
But at the same time, we cannot promote for people to cause themselves the same harm. Rather, we can attempt to educate them so that vaping for them IS safer than smoking, and not potentially as harmful.
I hope that you vape safely. And I hope that you promote safe vaping to those around you.
I invite you to come back to the forum in order to learn more - and impart your knowledge as well. But vaping in a safe manner is important to us, both for our lungs, and our health, as well as for others too.
