Puff counter hating?

[Rickajho]

Unlike many people, I would prefer a puff counter. It could help fight chain vaping by letting me know to put it down after so many puffs. A vibrate function or maybe even a auto shut off after 15 puffs or whatever a average cigarette would give you. You can also track how long fluid lasts with different gear or settings. I see people refer to puff counters as bells and whistles but I think it should be one of the more important things to have. If you never want to quit vaping and have no need to track how many puffs per tank you are getting then I can see not wanting one. If your goal is to not only quit smoking cigarettes but to also get off nicotine and stop vaping then a puff counter could be of significant help. I hope to see more development in this area.

Well if you're gonna go there add a built in tazer to act as a deterrent...

What I find puzzling about newbies obsessing over puff counts is - you likely never gave it a second thought how many puffs were in a cigarette before you started vaping. Admittedly, when I started I too wondered about the whole issue of "how much vaping = how much smoking." Then I just got on with living and let it go.

Following - not obsessing - over the average ml's you are using per day or week will give you enough of an idea about what you are doing. Trying to change a puff count from 962 to 875... that's waaaay over thinking things.

"Help fight chain vaping"...you must be new here. Oh wait, you are.
Sorry.

Especially when I go out for beers, it's ALL chain vaping!

 

[notawoman]

I like to vape.

Off topic for a second here, but you wouldn't happen to be a fan of the movie "Willow" would you?

I smoked for 20+ years, I should know how many puffs I average : ) That's about 15 puffs in 12 minutes. I just want a counter to beep or auto shut off after 15 puffs or 12 mins. I know I know.. damn noobs.

I hate the counter. Probably half of my 'puffs' aren't inhaled - it's just me trying to make ******* vape circles...I just can't do it! Ugh!

When I started out, I smoked an Njoy disposable, and it was out after 8 hours. Silly me, I bought another one, and it died after 4 hours. I was really concerned with just how much nicotine I had just put myself through, given they were supposed to be the equivalent of a pack, each. Turns out they were flawed.

This is why I switched to a tank system. Now I go through 2 or 2.5 mL of e-liquid per day. At 12 mg/mL, I know exactly how much nicotine I'm going through, and I can plan to taper it down in the future.

The tricky part was to start with more nicotine than I went through with analogs; nicotine absorption is lower with e-cigs.

Why would you fight chain vaping. You are resisting the thing that is keeping you from killing yourself slowly by smoking cigarettes, vape as much as you need too. It is a reduced harm alternative, and the last thing you need to do so soon after making the transition is worry about how often you rely on it to help you avoid so much as thinking about smoking.

I personally don't mind the puff counter although I don't use it on both my iTaste vv v3 and MVP.
Would be cool if the PV had GPS though, you can track it if its stolen or you lose it, like the iphone.

that would be amazing

Never understood why a puff counter. I use a tank counter. I have a 3ml, 4ml and a 5ml tank counter. Woops tank empty, know how much I vaped in the last couple hours.. And who puffs on a vaporizer any who? I don't puff, I toke, inhale, suck in huge quantities of vape, but never puff. Sorry, can see how this could be useful to some but to me it's more a matter of knowing the ml's of juice I consume that counts. And it's never occurred to me to stop vaping. I have lowered my nic intake, but mainly that's because I had too, with better gear I was getting over nic'd so dropped it down so that I could vape like crazy and not get to dizzy. lol.

Keeping track of your actual consumption of juice is a better indicator than how many puffs are taken IMO.

I recently picked up and mvp and the puff counter is kind of neat. I don't really need one, but I was curious. I've done so many surveys where the researchers ask, "how many puffs a day?" And I had absolutely no idea. I would guess 100, 200, 250? No clue. Now I know I was vastly underestimating. . I never thought about how many puffs when I was smoking, and I don't even have a clue how many puffs per cigarette I took. Of course, I also have no idea how much nicotine I was getting from cigarettes. I just knew how many packs per day (1.5 usually).

However, I did find that with the MVP, the button was kind of tight, and some of those puffs weren't really puffs, but me hitting the button for only a second, then losing my grip and having to press it again. I also vary the length of my draws. Some are short some are long.

Knowing that I use about 3 ml a day seems more informative to me.

whoops double post. lol hate that when it happens

I did once, just to know, I think I was at about 2k puffs (incl. the miss-fires and slip-ups and what-nots), before I turned it off and plugged it to charger.
So...how many did you get?

So are you marketing a cig-a-like device that hooks up to a cell app? While this may be cool for a small percentage of the vape community that chose vape to just quit smokes, most of us have already quit smoking and enjoy vaping without thought of not vaping. In fact most here don't use a cig-a-like devise and use a much large regulated and mechanical mod and are looking of ways to get more vape and juicier taste. Since I mix my own juice and build my own coils, I adjust my nic content when what I am vaping with and at, gives me more nicotine than I desire. Vaping is proving to be the best way to not smoke. Many people feel that the next logical step for us is to stop vaping, well no, the next logical step for those that love vape, is to find better ways to vape and better flavors to vape. The main focus for many is on how can I get those big clouds of vape. Good luck with your venture though.

It may be a cool idea, but Tyler's post will be deleted as soon as a mod sees it. You may want to delete the quote of his post from your post to save the mods some time.

Not that many! Lol. I think I was at 450 from morning to night of one day. I should get it out today and see what I get.

Ugh.......

I don't have a pv that has one yet I figure I'll just consider it as puff's on a nasty avoided

Yeah figured it was mainly spam in a can but was trying to give the guy a clue about what vape is all about and how ridicules that idea seemed to me. Just trying to save the guy some investment and time.

Never thought it was cool, except for a small few, you may want to delete the quotes in your post also. Next time it would be more efficient if you just pm me princess.
