55+ Vapers??
Recently, I watched some cool videos of big clouds. I thought I'd like to blow a giant cloud once in awhile, too. But to blow big clouds, I need to go into at least dual coils, and pump up the watts. What am I thinking, anyway? Wasn't my foray into vaping meant to be the healthier alternative to smoking?
I have to remind myself that I'm not a teenager!
Hello my dear! Good to see you over here. At almost 76 now, I'm just happy to be rid of tobbaco after nearly 60 years. For me, it's a Reo Grand, RM2 and 24 mgs in the morning. Then by bedtime...I drop down to....24 mgs. Jus sayinI'm also about to be 55 (in May). I don't think differences in vape style have a lot to do with age; I think it has more to do with what our lungs can handle and still be able to function: I have asthma, so I will always be a "tootle puffer" -- coils built to around 2Ω, tight-draw RDA (Achilles), 10w or less, MtL always, because that's how I smoked.
To me, just having more vapor wasn't a factor in quitting smoking -- I quit smoking while still using an eRoll (cigalike). Dunno if I could have maintained it, just using that, because I got my first "real" mod on my actual first day of smoke-free (an iTaste vv3 and a Kanger T3S), and the difference was just amazing to me; being able to have the same quality of hit from first to last, simply awesome, and the TH was so much better. But the one time I tried a direct lung-hit, it nearly put me on the floor -- thx to the asthma. I also have to use very high PG (85%-ish); VG seems to glue my airways closed.

Celebrated the 5th anniversary of my 55th birthday this year (see what I did there?)
Been vaping for the past 36 months or so after finally kicking a 40+ year burning tobacco habit.
Sitting here with a Stingray X/ Mutation v3 .2 ohm dual parallel 26 ga Ni80 wicked with rayon and some homebrew French Vanilla 5mg 70/30 and a mug of Colombian coffee.
These days it's Mechs and RDAs all the way!
Howdy Andria!
Hope all is well in your world
I'm too young for this thread
That's ok..we won't hold it against youI'm too young for this thread
I will be 72 in April and I am a confirmed tootle puffer, 10 watts kayfuns and prometeys. Have recently started playing with a modified magma and a couple of mechs. With 6 ml nic 75% VG I may start to up the ante.
It is great to find you again, I missed your posts both the informative and also the humorous ones. I will always tootle, but I now have a couple of mechs and I am experimenting with some Max VG juice at 6ml nic.Hey skitter! Nice to see some of my old tootle puffer buds again.

Yep, hard to resist the mechs. I tell people to stick with what they have if it works. Mainly because to upgrade is to make obsolete all that you own!!Hey skitter! Nice to see some of my old tootle puffer buds again.

True story I just had to share. I live in Vegas where vaping is extremely popular. I was so proud to see a wonderful gent (late 60's maybe) in the car next to me vaping away on a boxmod. I told the kids look, he probably quit a long nasty habit with that. I am only in my 30's but I smoked for 16 years. So all the young'ns and old timers VAPE PROUD when your out and about.
And get off my lawn.Now, one of you go get me my Geritol.
