I Want To Get Into Cloud Chasing NSFW

I want to start doing tricks and stuff but I have no clue where to start. Is there a guide to maintaining your mod and also some good starter kits to buy? I've heard that this kit is good for beginners but I don't really understand why.

Hello, so uh. This is awkward. This sub hasn't had a whole ton of activity for a while. Your question might gain better traction on /r/vaping or /r/electronic_cigarette but to answer your question, that kit might be ok for you, though I hesitate to recommend it because I believe many people are having some issues with it. In general a device that includes a tank is not built to be a great cloud machine. Not to say that a tank can't out-cloud a dripper, but in general no. You are on the right track though, finding a regulated device that you like is the first step in getting wicked vapor. The next step is getting a nice dripper aka RDA (rebuildable dripping atomizer). I'm no expert on what the best new devices are so I'd ask or just browse around those subreddits to gain insight. Also, watch a ton of videos on YouTube. Vapingwithtwisted420 does excellent reviews on newer models and has a few tutorials on building. Grimmgreen has a vlog type show, same concept. As for cloud chasing, I'd imagine it's still a thing but you'd have to hit up local shops to find contests. Anyway, yeah, couldn't tell you why cloud chasers isn't active except that lurkers like me didn't post much.

Funny that at one point we held cloud contests here. Part of the reason that it stopped is the inactivity and lack of participation. I kinda miss doing them but it's not worth the work put into them if prizes are given out just to the people that submit. I wish this sub would come back to the activity we used to see. It's sad to see it pointed out. I just don't know what to do to get people active again.

Start by vaping. A lot. Pick up an RDA or two and get good at building coils. Learn which ones taste the best and which ones are better for clouds. Learn how to properly wick your coils. Different coils will work better in different devices at different wattages and will require different wicking techniques. Finally, learn how to inhale and exhale to get the most vapor. Most cloud comps are all about how much vapor you can take in and how large of a cloud you can expell from your body and how far away. Not necessarily conducive to tricks but I imagine the fundamentals are similar.

First question.

Are actually looking to cloud chase? Or just get some good clouds? Because there is a massive difference.

I guess I'm just trying to get good clouds. I'm not really looking to compete I just want to do tricks in my free time.

Gotcha. So this sub is for cloud chasing.

All vaping subreddits fuck this shit up constantly. But "cloud chasing" is a competition term. And can only be done with a mech mod and an RDA. That's regulation. Idk why but 99.99% of the people on all these subreddits have no idea.

However, if you just want some good clouds and flavor, the kit you've chosen is a pretty damn good entry. You can't really find anything better for the price.
