How does airflow affect vaping?

I've seen poeple like RiP Trippers say how airflow is important to him.
But aside from heat dissipation, what else does airflow impact?

Definitely more flavour. Less air seems to bring more flavour.

Also makes your vape more dense or airy. So basically light vs regular cigs

For me anyways

I used to vape with airflow wide open. Then eventually cut back.
Depends on your juice though is what ive found.

I have illusions taste of gods x with airflow almost closed. Amazing.

I have a donut one.. half closed. Good enough for me.

I have a skittles one.. so far air flow wide.

Airflow is important to anyone that vapes, not just that moron.

The airflow is the singular thing that determines if you'll get good flavor or big clouds. You need it hitting the coils at different angles in most cases to deliver the maximum amount of vapor. Cooling the underside of the coils is important as well. Turbulence in the chamber will affect the vape quality too and is usually based on the size of your coils, the bigger your build, the less air that will be allowed to move through the deck.

There's even more to it than that, maybe check out YouTube if you're still wondering.

Airflow is extremely important if your using an rba.

Yeah, I bought a Drop RDA recently, wasn't impressed with it because poeple said it was really good. I changed airflow and flavor is better.

I got gr8 flav from the drop. Wish i hung onto mine.
Airflow is a huge variable. It can make or break an otherwise perfect build

Air flow also determines weather it is a MTL vape or a DL combined with resistance and size of coil.
some coils work best MTL and others DL.
to me in my experience anyway. i used to MTL in 97 with a crappy stick batt god knows the nic level or ohms...
when i went RDA at first it was MTL then i switched to DL...
i can say that MTL is always as restrictive as possible and has great flavor depening on coil Resistance and size.
DL is similar all be it the lower the resistance the more open i need the air flow...

i am with @Theboss Airflow is the determining factor alot of times.
 
Also, how often do you drip, and how do you do it?
For me, I have to take off drip tip and then put juice directly on coils after 1.5 puffs, is this normal?

Not to answer the question for him but for me the guy is unwatchable for a lot of reasons. I'll list just a few-

  • His catch phrases are just cringy.
  • His actual voice is annoying
  • His fake persona for doing videos is annoying. I much prefer a reviewer just being real than acting like a spazz.
  • The cuts in his vidoes are constant. It just makes things seem glitchy.

I can't believe a guy with that kind of shtick is vapings biggest youtube personality. It's almost embarrassing. "Chuckin tits" wtf..

But how is that related to intelligence. I understand you may not like him because of those reasons, but I don't see how those make him a moron.

I'm just getting up and checking replies with my coffee, you just saved me typing out an identical response because you nailed it! I can't stomach 10 seconds of his videos.

@emanrdesu see @Just Frank reply.

Because he should have the intelligence to know that he gives the community less credibility when he acts like a clown.

People search vape reviews and his videos come up, what do you think their first impression of vapers will be? :facepalm:

AF also dictates coil placement. If your not getting the best from your atty tweak coil placement, this also applies to the wick. The variables for each need to work in tandem for a satisfying hit.
