Lung hits and air controllers? maybe I am not understanding...

[Altitude000]

I am not sure I understand this need for air control valves and such to get a direct lung hit...

Seems to me, I use a protank 2... and all I do is not apply so much pressure with my upper lip -- let some air in during the toke and I can control the air intake easy enough by adjusting my upper lip....more air? - raise upper lip slightly... less air, tighten upper lip.

Why again would I need a knob to turn? When I do it the way I described above, the vapor goes directly into my lungs?

What am I missing here?

Well...you obvously miss out on a lungfill of vapor, since you're drawing in air too.. Had to try it it your way, but I didn't get that "thump"..But if it works for you, good on ya! Personally, I really like the airflow control on my nautilus. Well worth the few extra bucks it costs. IMHO..

The nautilus is on my list! and the A7 ... and the kayfun or Russian 91.... then who knows.. some kind of vapor mask that goes over my mouth and nose like a gas mask!

Thanks for at least trying it and not bashing me for asking!

so.... I am missing out on something... huh? .... damn....

That's the right technique to loosen your lips but the opening of the airflow to the coil or coils is not so that you can DO a lung hit, it's so you can do a Huge lung hit.

If I were drinking, I would lift my glass and say "cheers!" - Since I am vaping, I'll lift my device and say...... hmm... "poof"?

Vape on people! y'all are a great support team without even trying to be.

No bashing needed! We're all vapers here, right? I'm pretty new to this too, so it was a valid question, and I had to see if you where on to something..

I hope you'll like the nautilus, I think it's one of the best tanks out there. Even though I'm a n00b, I've gone thru my share of clearomizers, both top and bottom coils, and the two I find myself using on a daily basis is the nautilus and the iclear 30b. I have a russian 91 on the way from china, and if it is as good as it's made out to be, I'm guessing that'll be my main tank.
