...

It's nice to blow crazy big clouds in public, but im starting to fall back on mimicking a standard cigarette with vaping rather than chase clouds.

Am i crazy for shying away from sub-ohming? Maybe it will be fun again after i take a break from it?

I don't use an e-Cigarette to Impress people when I'm walking around in Public. I use an e-Cigarette to Never go back to Smoking.

I say... If you like Sub-Ohm-ing, Great. Do it. Or if there is Another set that you like Better, well, then use that one.

What I don't like is how cloud chasing and subohm somehow are now supposedly the same thing.

I subohm because I'm on a mech, as a result I can get some large clouds, but its not what I built it that way for.


And no.....


Many here aren't against subohmers many here aren't pleased with how "most" of the super subohm cloudchasers act in public.



Big difference

I switch it up every now and then. I've got a LiPo box safely capable of 600w, but I also have my vapor flask topped with a squapeR and nickel build.

All depends on what I'm in the mood for. To each their own as they say. As many others have said in this thread, whatever keeps you off the analogs is the best way for you to vape!

Its the nature of young adults to scream look at me! They had no voice for 18 years so they have to flex their wings a little so to speak. Most of us did it in one form or another then life forced us to pay attention to more important things and we matured. Its not such a big deal to me. While I cant remember exactly what Im sure I did something just as irritating to the general public when I was a kid.

Its a little different now, I had long hair, earrings bandannas, and a massive boom box blairing death metal. I could have easily been mistaken for someone in any of the hairbands of the day.
While I may have been annoying, the judgments were against me.
At no time did I make a whole section of the population look bad with me, or cause everyone to negatively judge anyone who looked like me

I'm an ex-smoker who enjoys the throat hit I used to get with cigs. I find that I get a much better throat hit and better flavor overall with my Nautilus Mini at about 14 watts than I do with my Atlantis at 30 watts.

When I want to blow some massive clouds just for the hell of it, I'll crank the Atlantis up to 30. I don't really understand WHY I don't get good throat hit and flavor with sub-ohms at higher wattage. Does anyone have a good explanation for this?

But the powers that be won't let me on downtown streets or neighborhood roads!...... Even tho I and my van are capable of doing it! Do you think my neighbors would complain? :rolleyes:

Nobody looks like you Thrasher;)

Good point but I dont think the whole population dose the so called judging I think most normal thinking people would see a rude person for a rude person weather he is a vapor or a foul mouthed arrogant teenager or just what ever.
The news likes to show massive cloud blowers for shock effect most likely because their corporate sponcers have agendas.

fore example
Do you think New Yorkers are rude trash talking inconsiderate people? They have that reputation. They are portrayed in countless movies and TV shows as such. But Ive found stop any New Yorker on the street and ask for a good sandwich shop, or pizza joint and they will give you a list of places along with directions, also Ive found New Yorkers are fairly open and pretty quick to start up a conversation, more so than LA

I think vaping is something dear to us we spend alot of time thinking about it but most none vapors give it little to no thought what so ever.

It would really surprise me if no-one reacted to what you were doing by thinking along the lines of 'kids today are really messed up', instead of judging you as an individual. I know because I heard that from people reacting to me when I was younger and didn't conform to expectations at the time. People tend to identify by group and judge others by perceived group differences and prejudices. It's unfortunate, but that just seems to be the way human nature makes us behave.

So true buzzzlove. Youth is also less risk averse in general and I think that plays a part in it also. It's been like this since the beginning and it will not change anytime soon :)

While I'm not willing to admit to what I had people shaking their heads at me for when I was younger, I have many fond and a few scary memories of those times. The good thing is no-one ever got hurt, I learned a lot from those experiences and all of it influenced who I am now. There were no net negatives in it for me and I suspect the same is true for a lot of people. Not to say it never went horribly wrong for some, but I think of that as just a bit of cleaning out of the gene pool.

Whenever i go out for a drink on the town with the lady, I'll see vapsters here and there with their sub-ohm setups. And here i am with my Nautilus Mini and whatever low-wattage mod I decided to pair it with.

Honestly, each day I seem to enjoy using these low wattage devices, such as the VV4 and a Nautilus Mini, more and more as opposed to my sub-ohm gear.

With my Nautilus, the flavor and throat hit is always spot on, and the vapor is nice too for what it is. I seem to be using this setup more and more lately... And when subbing, it's rare for me to get that satisfying hit, i just find myself vaping more and more to feel satisfied thus burn through a ton of juice. With a Nautilus, I get that satisfying hit right away and vape here and there.

With my sub-ohm gear, juices can be a hit or miss at times in terms of flavor and hit. But i can always count on my Nautilus Mini to give me exactly what I want each and every time.

I even bought a MVP20 at a killer price to perfectly compliment the Nautilus Mini. I wouldnt be burning through nearly as much juice, thus saving me money in the long run.

It's nice to blow crazy big clouds in public, but im starting to fall back on mimicking a standard cigarette with vaping rather than chase clouds.

Am i crazy for shying away from sub-ohming? Maybe it will be fun again after i take a break from it?


so... you like your nautilus.

great.

Throat hit is mostly determined by the nicotine concentration in the liquid, not so much by temperature. Some people get some harshness from cranking up the temperature, but that's not really throat hit, that's just misconstrued harshness.

Flavor is determined by a multitude of factors, one of which is vaporizing temperature. However, not all flavors taste best at a high temperature; in fact in my experience, few of them do.
