So, basically when I see videos on youtube they seem to be able to produce clouds of smoke! I was wondering how they manage to easily produce so much? I only get a decent amount of smoke if I exhale straight away without taking it to my lungs. But if I properly inhale like normal, my exhale carries almost no vapour.

I create my own e liquid (but i still had this problem when I purchased it from vendors) and use a 50/50 or 60/40 PG/VG base. I do understand that more VG is more smoke, but I tend not to add more VG as it diminishes my flavours and throat hit.

I use a Lavatube v4 with variable voltage, I've tried turning up the voltage but it often just makes a burning taste and no change in vapour. I usually use a 2.8ohms vivi nova head and set my voltage to around 4.5 - 4.8.

i was wondering if there was any tips/tricks or methods to producing more smoke. I want PLUMES of it :D

depends on what device your using, many of these cloud chasers are using rebuildables, and things like subohm coils, paired with ribbon wire is the new thing. but much of it really depends on the device first, your not going to make storm clouds with a little old clearo.
there are 100 ways to rebuild a device and all of it may affect the vapor output

I came to realize that there are a lot of videos on youtube where people are "reviewing" such as cig-alikes, and they're just staff of the company selling them. They drip pure VG into the cartomizer to show how much vapour you get, then when you fall for it and buy their product you get frak all vapour. Now that I'm using LR Boge or Ikenvape cartos on 1000mAh twist eGo batteries, I get lots of vapour with 70/30 juices.

plain old dripper at 1.2 ohms on a mech with 3 mm silica. i could triple the vaper easily with a subohm ribbon coil.

after a point your just pounding clouds and the actual enjoyment fades. but if you want to play try something like an igo-l or v5 from fastech . cheap and works well. a vivi nova owrks for what it is but it can only be pushed so far.

For me.
I'm sure it will work with most RDA's
I'm using a IGO-L RDA

32 gage kanthol wire wrapped at 1.3 ohms.
I wrap at 1.3-1.5 because it's nothing crazy and heats up very fast
at 3.7 volts.

A freshly made coil tastes amazing and blows plumes of vapor.
I have yet to dive into sub ohm territory
I just don't want to blow off my lips to enjoy my Vape :D

If your going to start building coils. Be safe test your coils ohm load
Before you attach them. Using a Provari or ohm meter.

I am ready to move to an expensive RDA if anyone has suggestions
please let me know. I am really enjoying this IGO-L

Vape Proud.........:D

It all depends on personal preference, are you chasing more flavor or just more vapor production. like others have said, you can achieve a good amount of vapor using a RDA or RBA and building your own coils. Do your research before you start building coils though and make sure you have a meter of some kind to check the resistance (like the choices mentioned above). I personally have gained good flavor and vapor by using a mini RDA (squid) with a slightly adjusted air hole building my coils out to anything between 1.2-1.6 ohms using 32 gauge Kanthal A-1 round wire on top of my mechs or my Provari (with the 1.5 ohm coil). Not really interested in sub-ohm vaping so where I am now is good enough for me :2cool:

This isn't recommended but since you're asking how...

1. Do your research

2. Get one of those MNKE batteries or the 30A Sony

3. A good quality (low vd) mech

4. Make a .3 ohm dual coil with large airholes on both sides

5. Max vg

6. Don't blame me if this explodes

The math should be this way iirc
4.2v ÷ .3 ohm = 14A
Also 58.8 watts :eek:

I'm with Thrasher and Birdman on this. I build the coils for my AGA-T+ shooting for 1.3-1.5 ohms. Allows me to use on the ProVari or my mech and get great vapor and flavor using both 70/30 and 50/50 mixes. If you want to be able to impress people but also have awesome flavor and great vapor production pick up 2 RBA's and set one up for producing storm clouds and another one with a modest 1.3-1.5ohm coil, then you can have best of both worlds :)

**Edit: My sig is wrong, my AGA is set up with a 2ohm coil right now ;)
