What exactly do you mean? Like which is better?

If you're using an RDA you almost have to do a lung inhale. I mean you can always do mouth-to-lung but it's kind of counterproductive when it comes to RDA's...

follow up question if I could, as a newb to RDA's, would you recommend I lower my nic, until I get the handle of the lung inhale? I'm at 12mg 50/50 with my protanks

Most people need to, just because you will be dealing with a much larger amount of vapor from an RDA. Lung inhale or not, all that extra vapor means you are exposed to a lot more nic and anything else in the larger amount of vapor in the process. Some people drop their percent of flavorings as well.

Thank you for replying Cullin Kin, I guess I was asking which style is best recomended. I normally use mouth/lung with my protank's but can not do it with the RDA, since the draw is so free (like drinking with a McDonalds straw compared to a cocktail straw). I just learned about the lung inhale (I'm a slow learner, I quess)

The reason why you were doing mouth to lung inhales with a protank is because you had no choice since the draw is tight if you're dripping it's a lot different since vapor is being produced much faster and thicker, at least on a mech, on a regulated device I have no experience with that, but it would depend on the output the regulated mod can put out.

You can still drip and depending on your setup can feel like trying to suck a grapefruit through a straw compared to sucking a watermelon through a straw with a protank.

I'm not sure what you mean by "counterproductive." I vape for flavor, so mouth/lung works better for me, but what you like may be different. The most important thing to me is making sure I have good airflow.

I use to vape 24-36 mg of 50/50 or "100 VG" liquid and when I started dripping I tried 6 mg of "100 VG" and couldn't handle it, I still can't, I stick with 3 mg which is really popular at least in my area and juice makers are starting to make 3 mg blends. But the build does affect how much TH you're going to get, if it's a single or dual coil build, the resistance of the build, if it's a mech how good your mech is or how good your dripper is and how good and how charged your battery is and the PG/VG ratio. On a regulated device it would varry on the devices max voltage or wattage output and how low of a coil build it will fire at.

My pleasure. If you want an RDA that you can do mouth-to-lung, go with something with adjustable airflow like the Stillare, Tobh Atty, Plume Veil, etc.

Most people are able to cut their nicotine in half (with no problems) when switching over to an RDA and dripping. :)

Maybe it's just me, but with my RDA's like the Plume Veil, there is just too much air flowing through it to efficiently do mouth-to-lung. Unlike, lets say, a Kayfun Lite Plus V2 where mouth-to-lung is all I do because of the restricted airflow.

Also remember that the drip tip you use also can aid in tightening up the draw a bit to make mouth to lung hits easier on a rda. Adjustable airflow is a must tho.

While Im not a huge fan of the kayfun drip tip, alot of my buddies like using but on my rdas because of the smaller hole tightening the draw up some.

Just to add. The Kayfun itself makes for an amazing and flavorfull mouth to lung single coil rda with a huge juice well to boot. Thought Id toss that out there ;-)

Adjustable air flow control is a good suggestion, out of the 3 mentioned I would go for the Plumeveil but probaly the v2 with the cyclops airflow control, the Tobh v2 looks nicer than the v2.5 but the v2.5 has larger airflow holes, but both have the tab on the deck that is a bit of pain to feed leads through the post and you have to build coils differently and can be restrictive if building wider coils, the Stillare has a nice airflow control design but the top cap where the DT sits over the hole is very small and makes it a tighter draw, but can be fixed if you're willing to drill out the hole.

I drip for flavor. The only time I drop flavor when I am dripping in my RDA is if I spill my juice.:)

Flavor I forgot what that's like. I miss flavor...haha

Lmao thats how I feel whenever I use my Omega. Lmao

The Plume Veil is a nice choice tho. With nice air control options. Love mine. Got the logo free clone. Only thing I dont like is that the drip tip can be a little wobbly because of the adjustable delrin for the top airholes. Its nice and firm when set closed, but wobbles abit when you open it up. Maybe the tolerances are tighter on that piece on the real Plume Veil tho.

from my experience, which is still very little at the moment, about rba's is that they generally lean more toward the straight to lung people. Since I am a mouth to lung fan, in most cases even with a very skillfully built coil setup I tend to prefer my Nautilus with the adjustable airflow at the smallest.. hmm.. maybe im just weird.
