Tootle Puffing

[lpboyle]

So, I've been seeing this term all over the place. I Googled it http://lmgtfy.com/?q=Tootle+Puffer and got directed right back to this forum. [emoji297]

So apparently if I'm using anything with a 20w or less capacity and any tank with a coil resistance higher than 1 ohm - I'm tootle puffing.

Since my current set up is a basic 650mah battery with a Kangertech T3'D clearo, I'm tootle puffing. If I get my goal setup an Avail Vapor Squirt bix (20w) with a nautilus Mini (my local B&M Avail store sells this as a kit for $60), I'll still be tootle puffing.

Why would this be a bad thing?

It wouldn't be.
Whatever works for each individual is all that matters.

Some folks take silliness & labels to an extreme, a few start believing these silly labels actually mean something.

It's NOT a bad thing! Be a PROUD Tootle Puffer! There are a lot of Tootle Puffers around, you'll see.

Most of us are ex-smokers who are just trying to stay off cigarettes. "Tootle Puffer" is just a silly name that differentiates us low-power vapers from the high power "Cloud Chuckers." But we're all VAPERS. Some of us just aren't as ostentatious in our cloud making, that's all. Like Topwater Elvis said, whatever works for YOU is the right way to do it.

Lannie, don't forget the ModWhompers! LOL

Look how big the tootle thread is, not bad at all.

RIGHT! I totally forgot the Modwomper category. (That would be everything "in the middle" between Tootling and Chucking)

@lpboyle I just noticed you joined back in April of 2010 so you've been a member for quite a while. Have you been gone? Welcome back, anyway!

Lannie, I joined initially in 2010 after my first experience with a disposable cigalike.

I pretty much left right away after that. I have been making attempts to switch from smoking to vaping ever since.

Finally, I was able to make the switch and as of tomorrow will have spent my first entire week completely cigarette free.

Well, CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! Stick around this time and we'll all help you. This is SUCH a great place! I would never have made it without all the good and helpful people here. The equipment has changed a lot, too (I've heard), so that also helps. I just made the switch the first of June, but I was able to set down the cigarettes and switch to vaping the day after I got my first little Kanger starter kit (a pair of 650s and teeny little matching tanks). It kept me off the cigarettes, though, and now I'm starting to get into a bit higher power vaping. I'm still a Tootle Puffer, just dipping my toe into Modwomper territory. I'm an "old lady," so I won't ever be a Cloud Chucker, but a little more flavor and vapor is nice sometimes.

I'm happy to be Tootle Puffing. It's not a derogatory name, it's all in fun. I build my own 2.4 ohm coils. I DIY my own juice. I could build .2 ohm coils and blow thru 30ml of juice a day but I'm not interested. Right now I'm vaping on a modified T3 Clone with drilled out air holes and a vertical coil build in it mounted on my 20W iStick running at 8W and I'm loving every Tootle Puff! Other folks enjoy a different kinda vape. More power to them. I sincerely hope they get the same pleasure out of thiers as I do mine.

The e-cig world needs to get over itself. Last year 8w was tootling. This year 15w is tootling, what next.... 70w?

I say 20w is not tootling. Nor is 15w using a huge airflow tank.

People just think they are cool inhaling 5 times as much vapour as 2 years ago. When people were putting sub-ohm RBA coils on mechs and getting 20w/30w/40w they were considered "heroes" of the vaping world. Now they are dinosaurs compared to the "cool kids".

How times change. You won't see me inhaling large quantities of nicotine/PG/VG vapour until vaping is proven to be 100% safe.

Tootle on. (or not, i.m.o.).

I'm just happy to be off the stank sticks and enjoying something that tastes like cinnamon toast rather than ashy baboon's backside.

Not till I got into subohm vaping was my nicotine addiction completely satisfied... sucking on a pro tank might work for others but it did not work for me..

It's not bad. I started off tootle puffing. Probably cuz that was back in the day of doing that or using mechs and sub ohm drippers which I didn't get into until later because admittedly you have to understand ohms law for that. Some people consider vaping above those 20w more advanced. I kind of do as well but I don't think tootle puffing is a bad thing. This forum has changed my opinion of it. I doubt others care too. There's just a lot of people trying to blow the biggest clouds who might be jerks about it. But vaping is a very inclusive community. Especially this forum

I can appreciate that. For right now my little basic setup is working. I may need to move on in the future. We're all different so we all need what works for us individually right?

It's all good fun. Am a tootle puffer and proud, 12watts on an aspire bvc or gs air 1.2, that's plenty of vapour for me. Easily substitutes for the combustibles, why go higher?

Each to their own, but do wonder about juice consumption and possible health issues when vaping so much flavouring, vg and pg.

Where to draw the line with tootling, I reckon under 15 watts and average airflow, anymore is into cloud chasing (all be it the lower end) territory.

Tried a subtank nano with 0.5 coil, too much juice consumed, begins to cost more than smoking, great fun for a while but practical considerations kicked in. Not to mention my beloved nets don't taste good when subohming.

Yet the trend is to higher watt vaping and clouds.

I still use my EVOD 650 batteries with a Protank 2 or Protank 2 mini on them in the mornings and evenings. I also have an X6 mod (still a "tiny" battery, but bigger around and pretty colors - LOL!) that I put the Protanks on as well. My toe-dipping experience is because someone sent me a sub-ohm tank as a gift to go with a Disrupter they also sent me as a gift, so that I could expand if I wanted to. I never used the sub-ohm tank except with one certain juice that is very soft and flowery, and I had it set at 11 watts with the airflow shut completely down (there's still airflow).

But then one day I was sitting here in the morning having my coffee and I decided to just see what would happen if I turned up the wattage and opened the airflow a bit, and I found out that the flavor got better AND I could get the same amount of vapor from a one-second draw that it had been taking me 3 or 4 seconds to get before (or 5 or 6 on the Protanks). My husband and I have a small farm, and we're old, and there's a LOT of work to be done and only us to do it, so to say I'm busy during the day is a gross understatement. Seconds literally count. I'm hooked BAD on nicotine, so with the smaller batteries and tanks, I was either wasting time taking long pulls off them, or not drawing long enough and ending up having a nicotine fit later in the day. So mid-day sometime, I switch up to the Disrupter, set the wattage at 25 or so, and put the iSub tank on it, and I'm good to go. I can fly by, grab it and take a 1-second hit off it, set it down and continue on. I get enough nicotine that way to sustain me and I'm not in danger of killing anyone by the end of the day.

Anyway, it's taken me a while to learn the best things for ME, and for me, the low wattage and tootle puffing is preferable early and late in the day, when I'm not running so hard, but when I AM running hard, I become a Modwomper, and I'm not ashamed of it.

Yeah man! When you say we're different you are right, as I was a two pack a day smoker for over 20 years. I tried the Provari/protank for my first e-cigarette but quickly learned I needed something better if I was to remain tobacco free. And then I discovered sub ohm vaping, and haven't looked back. That was about 2 years ago now..Today I'm completely satisfied and tobacco free, and of course, thats why I chose to vape in the first place..

I did two packs a day for 42 years, and OMG, yes, it's HARD to quit. I'm constantly vaping, just to keep my mind off it, but I so thoroughly enjoy vaping (and I make my own juice now, which is so nice!), that it makes it pretty painless.
