Sorry guys I have to most stupid question to ask lol

[piggypinggy]

what does "tighten up" the airflow mean? Does that mean making the hole bigger or smaller?
Because I was watching a video, it says while I use thick juice like 70% or 100% VG, I should tighten up the airflow, what does that mean?
Sorry I'm new to e-cig and English isn't my fist language, thanks for the help!

PS: I'm using aerotank mega

In this case (and most e-cig cases) the 'tighten' means to 'reduce' the airflow, ie put it on the smallest hole.

High VG juices are much thicker than high PG juices, so the higher the VG, the slower the juice "wicks/feeds", theoretically.

Tightening the airflow, on attys that have the feature, will cause a greater vacuum inside the tank with each draw, thereby drawing in a larger amount of liquid into the coils, ie it will 'wick better'.

Smaller, by closing more air flow.

thanks for the answer, I'm still confused of why smaller hole is better for thicker juices ty for the help!

It's not. The less the air flow the more flavor. The bigger the air flow the bigger the lung take in the bigger the clouds

Think of 'ideal AFR' (ideal air fuel ratio). The goal is to make the air quantity match up with the amount of liquid being vaporized in order to get the best flavor.

Here is a pic from days gone by of how we use to control the air flow (see the o-ring?) We would slide the o-ring up to partially cover the connector to tighten up the draw to get the best flavor.

If you really want to get the best performance from an aerotank mega regardless of juice thickness, rebuilding the old style kanger dual bottom coil heads is the way to go. The new style coil heads with factory coils and wick are terrible. The flavor, vapor production and wicking ability of an old style, custom built head is pretty amazing.

Airflow can also have a lot to do with the temperature of your vape. Not paying attention last night, I was at 40 watts and had my airhole on my Atlantis on the smallest setting. That was a pretty hot lung hit I took in.

vacuum... when pulling on the atty with the smaller hole it creates a vacuum in the main chamber which causes the air in the tank to expand and helps push the juice into the wick....

Very much like a carburetor. It is fuel and airflow so that they in needed amounts to get over the coil. With a thick juice, your draw has to slightly be more focused on the thicker juice to pull it from the grooves, up to the wick/coil. So you reduce the amount off air flowing in.

The juice doesn't really have an adjustment, just in how hard you take a draw. The airflow controller is adjustable. So, make it a little less, (i.e. tighten) to reduce the flow.

Something to tinker with...

Hope helps
