How do they get all that vapor?

[quasimod]

I see a lot of videos (reviews, etc.) featuring a guy getting HUGE amounts of vapor out of whatever device he picks up. I've used the NPro, NCig, Copper, and the Silver Bullet, (all at 3.7 Volts) but hardly ever get those massive vapes. I've tried using two of the 3.7 Volt batteries in the Copper and the Silver Bullet, but it just fried the atomizers before I could even try it. After 3 fried atomizers in a row, I stopped trying that little experiment.

I guess I have "Vape Envy".

I've seen those videos. Vape envy is a good phrase.

Basically, maximum vapor is obtained with a brand new atomizer, a fully charged battery and a filled cartridge or dripped atomizer. Of the three, the most important is the atomizer. If it's even a week old, you won't get that big cloud of vapor. The atomizer will serve for another month or two, but with ever-lessening vapor production.

When you have that new atomizer vaporizing a full cartridge, you have the best your unit is capable of.

Vapor is also maximized by using a manual, not automatic, switch. Hold the switch down for three to five seconds before starting to inhale. Release it a second before your inhalation stop. You should have a mouth full of vapor!

Using Ecopure would certainly show any ecig in their best light as far as vapor goes.

If you watch a Leaford video, it appears he is taking some bizarre lung capacity exam. No one, in public, would suck a metal fake cigarette stick for 8 or 10 seconds! And if the fake cigarette needs that kind of suck, then it's a sucky fake and you should buy one that satisfies in three or four seconds.

All of my units produce great vapor -- for blowing vapor rings or creating mini-clouds -- with three seconds of inhalation. If they didn't, I'd be screaming at the manufacturers.

Vapour in video and vapour in the flesh are somewhat different. Having used various camcorders, I think that they all seem to pick it up differently. Sometimes all is not what it seems on video. Also what obscures your face on a little youtube box might feel different with full view of the room around you
