Do you like to hit it sideways?

-KT- · Nov 27, 2017

I noticed on my Govad, that if I take off the drip tip and draw *across* the opening, that I get a super good hit. I have to do it a certain way, but when I do, it's a nice rich draw.

The trick for me is to get just the right stoichiometric mixture between outside air and air from the atty.

Does anyone else hit it sideways like that?

Sort of like blowing on a flute, but in reverse? Not really, but sort of the same effect, maybe, sometimes when I DL I don't make a full seal with my lips on the mouthpiece, so that some air can slip in on the side and mix with the vape coming off the atomizer. They call it "slipstreaming," I think.

I leave the drip trip on and hit it sideways to look gangster. :blush:

Sounds new like your atty doesn’t have enough natural airflow for you

That title...my mind. Leaving this thread alone.

I've heard a few mentioning not using a dt. Not for me personally.

It totally works if I put on the DT and pull normally. There's something else going on, not sure what. Maybe additional turbulence when I do it sideways?

Just like blowing across a flute, but opposite.

When I did this, it actually makes a different sound, and the vapor is super rich. If I can't get the sound, then the vapor is not so rich. It's not a whistle sound. Almost like a low roaring sound like how the inside of a seashell sounds.

Hit it however you'd like, including sideways, would be my advice :lol:

Honestly, I really am too old for that kind of thing. You have to be dedicated to have figured all that out to begin with - how DO you accidentally learn that if you take the drip tip off and suck until you achieve the required sound that you get the best vape ever?

Hahaha... I'm not that dedicated to vapal experimentation. .

Yes.. now we need a :danger:

sign..

Recently, it's been pointed out by the powers that be, that I seem to struggle with staying on topic. I will now prove that I have the ability to do so.

No.

I do the same - draw air in alongside the mouthpiece - I call it "carbing" as in a carburetor.

I cannot begin to tell you the will power it is taking me to NOT post what I am naturally inclined to.

If that's what you meant, it's commonly called 'slipstreaming' but it's nothing like playing a flute. It's basically a loose grip on the drip tip so fresh air mixes in during the draw.

We used to call it tail piping--in the early days of vaping.

This is called slipstreaming. :lol:

IKR?

(Couldn't stop myself. That's the first time I ever typed that. It'll never happen again. )

Do you like to hit it sideways?
