Preparation for new vaper - and "clouds" question?

[TeePee1970]

Haven't even started yet but I am a "planner" type person. LOL.

I'm curious about vaping away from my home/car. I do not plan on vaping at my desk at work, but probably will in the bathroom (LOL), and as per my usual habit to get my smoke fix, when I go outside for mail, deliver papers to other building, etc.

I guess I'm wondering about "stealthy" vaping...are the huge clouds of vapor just a "thing" for some people, or do the bigger clouds mean better taste, hit, or something else, or both???

From what I gather PG carries the flavors better and VG makes more vapor (I think...or vice verse). I guess I'm wondering about being more inconspicuous when out and about. As long as I'm getting my nicotine and proper satisfaction, I don't know that I'm all that concerned about producing huge plumes of vapor clouds, I guess, unless they're unavoidable in order to do it "right".

Someone help!

You don't need to puff huge clouds to get a satisfying hit, most devices don't chug out fog like those you see on youtube and the guys that do it reduce the nic down low, or else they'd only be able to blow a couple of clouds before they get nic sick. If you want to be really inconspicuous, you can hold the vapor in for a few seconds and blow out virtually nothing.

In my opinion, the amount of cloud has to do with the of tank you are using as much as the liquid. My higher end tanks produce more cloud but they are also better at bringing out flavor. Big clouds are a "feel" thing, I love 100% VG because the cloud feels thick, heavy. substantial. I have many 100% VG that have great flavor. The biggest difference I notice with higher PG is throat hit, meaning you can feel the "smoke" hit the back of your throat when you draw in, like smoking a cigarette.

Many juice vendors have a preferred/suggested/default PG/VG ratio for their products, I would start with that because it is what they think makes their juice perform best. I personally like a lot of 50/50 ratios. I do not take my higher end tanks out and about, they plus their batteries are usually bigger and I do not want to damage things that cost me more $. For a long time I carried my first kit, Kanger evod batteries and cartos and had no problem stealth vaping. Now I carry an Innokin itaste VTR, which is a more advanced device but I stealth vape it all the time. If you are worried about too much cloud, take a lighter inhale, strong draws also produce more cloud.

Happy vaping!

I've read that most stealthvapers uses 100% PG.
Coupled with a small device, perhaps ego 350mah + small tank. Or other small sized battery / mod.

It's a combination of things really...
Lower resistance=higher wattage=more heat....more vapor
Drawing directly to lungs and exhaling produces more vapor than drawing into the mouth then lungs then exhale...
Yes PG carries the flavor and Throat hit better and VG softens throat hit and produces more vapor...

Personally, I prefer a 70% PG/30% VG blend...it's pretty well rounded and all purpose...and to stealth I just take shorter draws into the mouth and then lungs an hold it in for a few seconds and get no visible exhaled vapor...and thats with a low resistance drip atomizer on a 3.7V battery...but then can turn around and blow clouds with it too...
