Ohm — a  measure of electrical resistance.
Wattage — the amount of power used by the atomizer coil.
Sub-ohm vaping device — a device with atomizer coils that have a resistance of less than one ohm. Typically used for blowing large clouds.

The Basics of Cloud Chasing

图片
Cloud chasing is a natural and indispensable part of vaping culture. Blowing aromatic clouds and setting up your kit for maximum vapor has grown into an art — and cloud chasing competitions do gather quite a crowd. If you are new to the idea of cloud chasing (as most new vapers are), we hope this mini-guide will shed some light on what cloud chasing is and how to set up your kit for maximum vapor (should you want to). How Did Cloud Chasing Start? We don't know exactly how and when Cloud chasing started. Some people say that it originated on the West Coast but there is no way to either confirm or disprove that for now. Wherever and whenever it may have started it has now taken over vaping communities all over the world. Some adore it, some find it arrogant. But despite the different opinions, cloud chasing is most probably here to stay. More than that, it has even become a sport. While coming blow vapor clouds for fun, some look at it as a career opportunity. National and intern...

What is the highest nicotine strength available?

This depends on what device you are using and the type of e-liquid as well.  The highest nic strengths available these days are probably in nic salt pods that can go up to 50mg and sometimes even higher. These work with low wattage devices, like pod mods. In general, if you want to vape at high nicotine strengths, you will need a low wattage device. Vaping 50mg vape juice on a sub-ohm device is simply not a good idea.  Another factor here is where you live. Some countries put restrictions on nicotine strengths. For instance, in the UK, the max nicotine concentration in e-liquid is restricted to no more than 20mg. As mentioned above, you can also DIY your own e-juice. But this is recommended for advanced vapers only and, even in this case, it's strongly advised not to go above the  50mg nicotine level.

What happens if you try to vape on a plane?

Can you vape on a plane? The answer to the question is a strict “no”. Vaping on a plane is strictly prohibited, just like smoking. And if you try to sneak in a puff during a flight, you will get yourself in quite a bit of trouble. However, this has not deterred some determined vapers from trying to vape mid-flight. Quite recently, a passenger on a Spirit Airlines flight set off a smoke alarm in the plane’s bathroom while vaping. The flight number 985 was going from Detroit to New Orleans when one of the passengers first tried to smoke an e-cigarette in his seat and blowing the vapor into a plastic bag. The same passenger went on to attempt vaping in the plane's bathroom, which set off the smoke detectors. When informed that vaping on a plane was illegal, the passenger replied he had no idea such rules were in place. The airline did not consider this a valid enough reason and struck the man with a lifetime ban for flying with Spirit Airlines. Even some celebrities seem ...
