150 watts? Insane. Why anyone would ever go past 30 or 40 watts is beyond my comprehension. Usually 15 - 25 watts is fine for me.
Not enough nic and an anemic, time consuming, irritating hit at 40 watts.

That's my reason for vaping at 80 watts... with 50mg/ml juice.

Or should I bump my nic up to 100mg/ml to "vape correctly"?

Finally this thread has gone a full circle, back to where the op rants about the industry not making his style vaping equipment which is the only way to stop smoking.(oh and it must be pretty!)
I have been encouraged by the fact that lately it has been people from other countries have this same
"My way is the right way" narcissistic view.
At least i can say it's not just our country.
Now I have lost hope in humanity!

I'm going to play with my dog now

There have been cig smoking rules for years. We followed them. We fussed and moaned at first but we FOLLOWED them or suffered the consequences.
Many followed those rules because many felt guilty.
Because many BELIEVED the lies that second-hand smoke was harming people.

That has all changed now.
The rules are CLEARLY wrong when applied to vaping, and we all know it.

Heck, they were wrong when applied to smoking much of the time.

Me, I never believed any of that crap in the first place.
I only followed the rules because cigarettes stink and are truly offensive to others.

But in fact, I followed those rules before they even made them.
That was just common courtesy in my view.

And when I say that, I'm not talking about the extremes these nut jobs go to now.
No smoking in a park? At the beach? On your porch?
Having no smoking or vaping rules is understandable and mature adults should have the self control to abide - what the FDA is attempting to do is eradicate vaping altogether.
With respect to vaping...

It's only understandable from a perspective of brainwashed people living in fear.
But unfortunately, that IS the reality that we face now.

But in the end, what it amounts to is tyranny.
And everyone deals with tyranny in their own way.

Some years ago after smoking was banned at our corp HQ we were able to confirm that the fine grime that seemed to permeate everything was not, as most were readily convinced, due to tobacco smoke at all but to the tons of soot dropping from jet engines of aircraft at nearby MIA.

Most were shocked, shocked I tell you, at this astonishingly obvious truth.

The moral of the story is…we must be cautious about our attributions. What we see is not necessarily or comprehensively reality. Rather, the facts should conform with our convictions.

Good luck all. :)

p.s. Of notable relevance, the policy was not changed.
p.s.s. Prophetic…

Guess it depends on where you live.

There are vapors everywhere around here.
And clouds are blown quite frequently.

I see clouds coming out of cars all the time.
I see clouds coming out of people walking down the street.

They are really easy to spot.
Actually, it would be more accurate to say that they are hard to miss.

It is what it is.
But I guess what it is depends on where you live.

I live in the Buckeye state.
Ohio is backwards and kinda ......ed in every way. Style, values, clothes. My classmates from HS --150 years ago, when we carved out our homework assignments on stone tablets using IBM Selectric typewriters-- STILL rawk 'big hair'.

Our weather is ......ed. Just look at the weather channel for NE Ohio, if you are in the mood for a good cry. Without the tanning bed, I would look like a naked mole rat. A vaping naked mole rat.

Some would consider my vape setup 'outdated' and not juice-worthy. Well, I am almost fifty, and quit trying to be even remotely cool, after I had the last of my Farrah Fawcett locks chopped off in 1993.

As long as one is polite, and practices safety, i have no other opinions on other peoples rigs.

Hand check--i am using an aga genny on a prov 2.5. Vaping Turkish Tobacco at ~8 watts ooooooooahhhhh. And i'm not near any wifi, so i cannot post any pix of my ugly beautiful aga genny and the cab of the Subie is getting cold. Underscoring just how ......ed we Buckeyes really are.
