Hey Guys -

Question for ya'll. Been enjoying my Volt for almost a month, and except for a few close calls haven't gone back to analogs. My question is about vaping outdoors. I walk around NYC a lot, and find that I just don't get that old cigarette feeling when I'm outdoors. Indoors, AOK. I don't know quite how to put my finger on it, but perhaps the windy streets somehow counteract the Volt mechanism or something. Any thoughts on maximizing "outdoor vaping" or am I just nuts?

When I'm vaping my volt outdoors the breeze makes it seem as if the vapor production is too small for me but indoors the production is great. For me, vapor production is very important, part of the experience being able to see big plumes of vapor helps keep me off analogs. In windy conditions the vapor is reduced, especially in the cold. The cold seems to make the vapor dissipate super fast.
The wind won't effect the volt at all. Only effects the vapor production that you "see", not the vapor production itself. that could be part of the problem for you. one other factor could be that your vaping in public instead of smoking. You don't get that same feeling because your not smoking, your just emulating it.
Don't know for sure, that's just my 2 cents. :)

Yeah, I think that there's definitely a psychological component to it. I am a little self-conscious when I see folks going pie-eyed at the blue light on the tip of the Volt.

On the other hand, a very sweet homeless lady asked me for a cigarette the other day, and when I explained to her that my cigarette was fake (with blue-led demonstration) we both had a big laugh!

Since I mostly work inside, not such a big deal, but especially with this snowfall, there's a big part of me missing the real smoke and fire.

As SBPhotob said, I think a lot of it is probably psychological.

There is also a possibility that outside you may be "exercising" a bit more though, and the slower nic-delivery of the E-cig might not be meeting your body's "hey, I'm kinda stressing here" reaction. I feel that (unlike Cigs) the more I exert myself the, the less satisfying my E-Cig seems to be.

I've even purchased 24mg (where I was solely 18mg) because I'm seeing if it will help my personal needs. Currently, on the 18mg, I find myself vaping it nearly 24/7. The 24mg so far seems to be just enough stronger where I vape much, much less overall, but get more of a quick nic-rush like I used to get from Cigs when I do. So where I was vaping constantly with the 18mg, I can now use 24mg like I used to use my Cigs - seems to be working for me (well, as long as I dont eventually get to the point where I vape 24mg basically 24/7 like I used to the 18mg, hehehe)

Wow, this classic grape is way to sweet a vape for me first thing in the morning.

Hahaha, know exactly what you mean. I am a BubbleGum / LemonDrop / Watermelon vaper, where first thing in the morning is really the only time I seem to touch RY4 anymore.

Until I get a cup of coffee in my hands, nothing else seems to do it :D

I'm not so sure it's psychological. When I walk to the mailbox everyday - if it's cold out, the vape doesn't taste as full or as good. It didn't effect me that way during the warmer months. And, since my driveway is over 700' long and through a forest, I'm not encountering anyone to make me self-conscious. Now, if I get frustrated at the lack of flavor and retrieve a different one from the protective warmth of ... cleavage :facepalm: - it's much better for awhile.

Yep - RY4, Vanilla Custard, and Cinnamon Roll in the morning for me.

Is a "ReVolter" a person who cheats on the Volt by trying something else for awhile, then comes back to their senses?

Actually, my first thought was Christopher Walken:

...but I might not be the one to ask, as oddly many of my first thoughts seem to go back to that creepy, creepy, creepy man...






(PS, what is up with the picture difficulty around here now? Took me three tries to find a pic I could link here :( )

that doesn't happen to me. it a full and satisfying vape even out in the cold. my vapor seems less though and that kinda bums me out.
