I have been wondering for a while, where the heck did the term "tootle-puffing" come from?


Urban Dictionary: Tootle Puffer

“tootle puffers” came from the itty bitty mods thread on ECF. The sub ohmers looking for 100watt + mods to run high wattage for clouds and such called those of us who run low watts (10–15 or less), using toppers like protanks, T3s, non-sub ohm tanks (including Kayfuns and the like building around 2 ohm coils) looking for small size and battery life only “low wattage tight draw tootle puffers”.

I'm technically a subohmer, but low wattage Tootlepuffer for life. I settled in to a sweet spot of .75-8 ohm single coil in my RTAs at 12-13 watts. I love not having to go through gallons of juice, and battery changes every day. It's about 2 weeks for me on my double barrel squid :D

I use some sub-om coils, but still low wattage. For example, 0.8 zenith coils at around 14 watts

It's a long & storied history that one would need to go ALL the way back to the first post of the FIRST thread (14-Apr-2015)...

;)

It began with typical @Katdarling silliness, and expected to see a quick demise. How little we knew. :ohmy:




* The term was born as a (sort of) insult. She decided to embrace it.

February 8, 2015. I was there when it was first uttered by a very unhappy @Croak in one of his rants--he deserves all the credit and fame for coining the term: :D

(snip)
The market is highly suspicious of the one thing left for tight-draw-low-wattage-tootle-puffers that could be a "game changer" and that's better wicking materials. (snip)

To which I responded:
What did you just call me????????????????????? :facepalm: :lol: (snip)

Has anyone tried the ares 2?

Mine is on its merry way from China, so I'll report sometime, hopefully, in October. If I'm lucky. ;)
Curious about objective thoughts on the tank. Bummer they didn’t make it 3-4 ml in 22mm

The reviews are very good. We shall see.

It was one of those posts that make you spit your coffee on your keyboard. I'll never forget it. :lol:

I remember. I was either a lurker or she pointed me to it. Too long ago!!! :cool:

Then she got inspired. I hate it when she gets inspired. ;):rolleyes::lol:

Long and storied story, fer sure (dude/dudette).

And yes, Madame other Kat was a big part of the genesis! I just felt like playing words (as hmmm, I've been known to do).

Sir Hooligan, the defs of the term "Tootle Puffer" seem to change like flowing waves on a beach. Even the Aspire company had to get their 3 cents in. (Longolino, find that for me, sweets?)

There is NO set wattage for a TPuffer. I tend to vape anywhere around men's sock size, so 10 watts would be on the high end. Some liquids rekwire me to set it (and forget it) at around 8 and a 1/2.

Other than that...... hello all you silly peeps, and dooooooooo find your randomness today!


Hugz~~~
