Why people blow vape "back to atty"?

[meph1]

Hey guys!
Do anyone knows why people blow the vape back to their attys?
I mean they dont lift the drip tip away from their mouth, just inhale and blow.

Is it any good? i'd be affraid that water would precipitate to the atty and i would inhale spitback...

I do it once in a while, just to get a warmer hit which to me is a little smoother. As far as condensation, I haven't had a problem.

It gets rid of the air that was in the atty, so that your first inhale is pure vapor and also purges the first amount of vapor that was created while your coil was heating up. Basically it makes your first draw all vapor at full temp.
Does it really "do" anything? Not really, because your second draw will be that way anyway, and were vaping at a lot higher wattage than when that started.
It can suck if you tend to overdrip or have freshly dripped though, cause it can blow hot liquid out onto your hand.

I haven't done that purposefully, I may have if not paying attention. Either way, if I get condensation in my drip tip, I'm pretty sure it's something else, and I rarely do in any case, although I think those folks that do are making pretty good sense as to why they do it and etc.

I do it to keep air moving over the coil to keep the temp down.

I never knew people ever did this other than to empty out a flooded arty onto a piece of paper towel covering the airflow slots. That or as an accident when inhaling and something startles you.

I've seen people do it, and honestly don't see what purpose it serves.

If you're ramping up a high mass, low resistance coil it's self-defeating. Two or three pulses do the same thing without airflow working against you to cool it. Airflow and vaporizing juice are the coil's cooling system. Blowing engages it. Pulsing only partially engages it (juice flow).

I sort of do it but i'm not blowing back into the atty. I'll start to draw then release a bit through my nose then continue to draw. I get a fuller pull that way. I can't remember when i started doing it, it seemed natural at the time and just stuck (i may have seen PBusardo doing it years ago and copied his style)



edit - or i may be talking about something else entirely - i just don't know anymore

I might do it before i even hit the fire button to blow any residual vapor out as this remaining vapor is kinda harsh. But otherwise, blowing into the atty while firing only cools the coil down when youre trying to heat it up. Really doesnt make sense to me.

I only do it when I want to look cool

I agree with @Coastal Cowboy, there is no advantage to the vape experience. If I have an atty set up with some warm up time I wait an appropriate amount of time to let the coil heat up before beginning the inhale. If I have any worry that I might get a dry hit, I do a short inhale-exhale to test it and then do the full inhale as per Phil's method. I really think it's just the cool factor

I have exhaled through an atty at times with power on to get rid of old juice on the wick that I didn't want to vape while in TC mode, or to clear a flood. This has never caused spitback or any other issues.

I do it occasionally when I am daydreaming and want to pretend I am an old time railroad steam engine. I aim the air hole up so I can chugga chugga. I have some nice trips, usually through mountain routes. Never hit a cow though but one day...one day...that's what's the catchers for anyways.

 

[sonicbomb]

It looks kool.

 

[listopencil]

I saw a reviewer do it on Youtube and she mentioned that she does it out of habit to clear her coil. I started doing it just to blow vapor out of the airholes because it's fun. If you have four small airholes it looks especially cool, cheers me up.

 

[TJVapes]

When i work I mindlessly drip and so I do this to make sure i don't suck up my overdrip. I still sometimes end up with a mess and a mouthful of liquid. I'm getting better at not doing this, so messy.

I do this in my first drag when i'm going to be taking multiple hits.

Warms my coils up so each subsequent drag gets hot quicker. If I just fire it without pushing/pulling air, it cooks things and my subsequent drags either taste burnt or make me cough.

If I don't do this and just take a cooler first drag it also makes me cough.

In my experience it cools it down, but it's still very much hotter than a cold room temperature coil.

This may be a cigarette habit thing. Thinking about it, I used to do this. And everyone in my family that smokes does this. It's like taking a MTL and then following up immediately with a DTL. Happens a lot when you're rushing on your 10 minute union mandated break.

Helps with spit back on a RDA, some RDAs are prone to spit back, and once you get in the habit of purging you catch yourself doing it all the time.

 

[HauntedMyst]

Why do some people fart then stop to smell it? For all our 20 and 20st century intellectual self aggrandizement, we're repugnant creatures in many respects.

Same here. Do you DL with big "fancy" coils? I don't feel the need to do it on my tootle-puffer tanks, but when I'm DL'ing I do find that purging can kind of "smooth out" that first hit which, as you've mentioned, can otherwise be kind of harsh.

Dual or Tri-core fused claptons. Not sure how many fancy coil points those score.
