I am not a cloud chaser but I don't tootle puff either.
High resistance mtl just doesn't do it for me, not satisfying. I still crave stinkies when throwin back some brews with buddies that still smoke.
The thick vapor from a rda or the newer subohm tanks is what I NEED to not light up a smoke.
Increased vapor allows me to run a lower nic level giving my juice more flavor. I guess you can turn it up and bring a weather system into the living room and drastically reduce flavor but you can dial in a temp control device to give you a great balance between cloud and flavor.
But I do think the cloudz bro mentality is fading a bit. You do see it in public on occasion but it doesn't seem to be as often as even 6 months ago.
I don't really see it talked about as often in this forum either. There used to be a new thread every day asking what setup to get for clouds... now it's every other day
