I don't know what they mean - tootle puffer, sub-ohm, and ANTZ. I've detected enough context so that:

  • I think I might be a tootle puffer (but not sure)
  • I don't think I ever want to do sub-ohm
  • I'm not an ANTZ (troll?)
Anybody care to nutshell these for me? :)

Tootle puffers are a subset of very ridged vapers. They do things in a very structured way which they believe to be the only way.

Subohm is everybody else. We don't really have any rules. We just vape and except other vapers for who they are. Earlier today I posted a picture of my 9 mods. 4 of them have over an ohm tanks on them. Some are TC. Some are....................You get the idea.

ANTZ?? Another way of saying ants, like boyz or cloudz bro. You can buy spray for them.

1. Tootle Puffer = low wattage, high Ω, low airflow
2. SubΩ = resistance less than 1.0Ω
3. ANTZ = Anti Nicotine and Tobacco Zealots.

Thanks! That thread about Tootle Puffers is very funny, but not very enlightening. I guess I need to read the specs for my e-cigs, but yeah, I think I'm a tootle puffer. :) Who came up with that name?

So low-resistance means more vapor? Trying to figure out the "why".

ANTZ - got it.

At first, "tootle puffer" was a mildly derogatory term invented by the cloud chasers to describe low watt MTL vapers. THey have since, however, united in tootle puffery and become quite proud of it. I am proud to say I personally invented the term "steam thrower" as a mildly derogatory term for the cloud chasers. And, feeling left out, those in the middle-- call 'em 30-100 watt types-- decided they wanted to be "modwompers." I happen to be a modwomper myself, and I am quite proud of it. But it's all in fun. The bottom line on that is if it's keeping you off the sticks, you're doing it right.

The why of low watts making more vapor gets technical. What makes vapor is power radiated from the surface of the coil wire, in contact with wet wick. The more surface area you have, and the more power radiating from it, the more vapor you get. Low Ω coils are able to tolerate higher power levels without burning up the wick, primarily because they are built with lower gauge (bigger diameter) wire and thus have a lower surface:volume ratio. However, being bigger wire, the actual coil mass is greater (sometimes much greater) than a high Ω coil and thus has a larger surface area in total. You don't need to know any of that, really: high Ω low watt= less and cooler vapor. Low Ω high watt = more and hotter vapor.

I was a tootle-puffer but I got over it, now I'm a sub-ohm mouth-breather with TC tendencies. Is there an acronym for that, or is at a rare condition?
It's a rare condition. You should seek medical attention immediately!

Tootle Puffers Rule!!

Cloud Chasers Drool!!

  • I think I might be a tootle puffer (but not sure)

How the term was coined? It was a joke made by Croak... After that, we started using it as a term of endearment...

Little itty bitty mods under $100. | Page 60 | E-Cigarette Forum

Shortly after that, Katdarling started a thread that became widely popular.

Are YOU a Tootle Puffer?? | E-Cigarette Forum

The rest is history. :)

  • I don't think I ever want to do sub-ohm

It's up to you. Sub-ohming started when we only had low voltage (set voltage) mods and people who wanted more watts had to build very low resistance coils (under 1Ω).

  • I'm not an ANTZ (troll?)

I hope not. We don't like Anti Tobacco/Nicotine Zealots here.

I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that.

Too late, I've crossed over and can't go back without breaking a few laws of thermodynamics. Funny thing is I wasn't even aware of my toodle puffing ways until now. Does one have to be bumptious and condescending, or can one be a closeted toodle puffer? Was I in toodle puffing denial? Good gawd am I a cloud chaser now!!!????1111 AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaa.....

But, but, but............ you all forgot this! "one puff low wattage flyin' purple tootle puffer"

Lower Ohm Coils Will:
  • Heat The Coil Faster
  • Produce More Vapor
  • Drain The Battery Faster
  • Use E-Juice Faster
  • Produce A Warmer Tasting Vape
Higher Ohm Coils Will:
  • Heat The Coil Slower, Which Will Produce “Less” Vapor
  • Provide A “Cooler” Tasting Vape
  • Use Less E-Juice
  • Prolong Battery Life

I don't believe the bumptious and condescending thing is a requirement. It does seem to be a common affliction, though.

Ahem... Not quite.

Lower ohm coils heat up (and cool down) more slowly because of the LOW resistance wire--hence they need much more wattage to get going...

The higher the resistance of the wire, the faster it heats up and cools down. Which is why I prefer higher resistance myself. They need less wattage and don't drain the batteries like the LR coils do.

1. Tootle Puffer

I refuse to ever say that. Not sure why, but it just bugs me. Maybe because my wife, teenaged kids and friends would pummel me if I did.:D

I do vape at 8-10w/1.9ohms quite often, but I just can't bring myself to use that term. :)
