I hear you about the stock airflow,
I just picked up a helios clone and it only has air on one side.
The .25 dual that I put in it at 1st sucked, way too little air.
Shot for a .4 dual after that, ended up reading out at .37, much better. Still may add more holes. Pain in the .... on the Helios because of the adjustment ring, may just scrap the ring.

I just don't see me using this Nimbus clone as much. Dripping directly inside doesn't really do anything then takign the bell off and dripping on the actual cotton then hitting it. That gets old. I'll use it here and there maybe but, I really thought I could sit here and just make a ease into it. Anyhow, I'll eventually pick up a Magma.

I think he meant drinking water while vaping. I always keep a Nalgene on hand while vaping. Dry mouth sucks.

Yes exactly that.
I've found myself hanging out and chain dripping and not hydrating, bad news. Now I always have water at hand.

As far as juice goes, I know that some people add water, I won't.

Well if you could make my dripper actually have a warm vape like I can create with the coils I create in my kayfun I'd be happy. I just put the RDA down. Only thing I can think of is I'm giong to need a mech mod to get real heat. On my poor Smoktech SID even at 15w, I get a cool vape. I'm not a cool vape person, I need it warrrrm.

Mech is definitely the way to go for heat, I just picked up my first mech today and I haven't put it down yet

Yeah man, I bought it thinking alright I'll drip and get a nice warm vape. Then I drilled a 2mm hole after wards and blew a huurricane of a cloud but was basically ice cold, even the small hole it was cool. So the ONLY solution I can think of to make a dripper hit warm vapes would be a mech mod.

But the other question lies now, when ppl are doing super sub ohming how much freaking heat are they getting? Or is it they aren't because of the mass air flow?

I vaped 12mg nic in my dripper lately but I had a headache after that. It might have been the stronger nic.
Now I drip 6 or 3mg nic so I am hoping that a headache don't happen.

In my kayfun I use 18mg or 12 mg 50-50 vg pg.
Most of my liguid is 50-50vg pg.

I have been vaping for a little over a year now. I hope this helps.

I run 12mg in all my tanks (Kayfun, RSST, and Protank) and 6mg in my RDA's. For RDA's, running 12 gives you so much throat hit and nic that I can no longer enjoy the vape. For a warm vape, you definitely need a high wattage device, something that goes over 20 watts. Whether that's a DNA style regulated device or a sub ohm build on a mech, that's up to the end user and what appeals to you.

I just recently got a Cloupor DNA clone, which I vape a 1.3 ohm coil at 24 watts on a single cool Magma. It's just warm enough for my tastes. I can achieve the same vape with a .27 ohm build using a fresh battery in my mech.

You got it on the mass air flow, I've got two 1.5mm holes in my dripper and it runs on the cool side until I hit about .4 ohms.
Coil type matters quite a bit too though, I'm my experience bigger coils run cooler. I get about the same heat out of a .3 1/8 inch coil and a .8 5/16th coil.

Also if you use a specialized coil (like a dragon, trico, twisted) that could make a difference, usually toward the warmer side.

In the mean time, hold your fire button a second or two before your draw and/or draw slower to let it heat up more before it reaches your mouth.
