reducing amount of vapour

[blade_922]

Okay so it's kinda difficult driving when I'm vaping. Big ... clouds block my visibility. I'm using a kangertech sub ohm tank 0.5ohm and a eleaf istick 30w. I'm running at 25 watt at the moment, airflow turned to fully open.

I know I can drive with the window open but it's always cold here. So what can I do to reduce the vapour cloud. Liquid is one I'm guessing higher ratio? Anything I can do with the stick and tank? Airflow smaller hole but won't that burn the coil out quicker? I've tried lowering power but not seen any difference. Should there be?

1. Turn down the power, or use higher resistance coil.
2. Take shorter draws.
3. Increase PG concentration.

Thanks daveid777.

Power didn't really change the amount of vapour much. I'll change the coil to the 1.8 or something like that coil I got with it.

The higher resistance coil has a tighter draw. You will probably need to close the airflow a lil bit too. And turn down the wattage.

To reduce the vapor reduce the SIZE of the coil and adjust the juice to higher PG ratio. Note, the coil can be of the same resistance, but it needs to be smaller. Being smaller it will less surface area on which to vaporize juice. Of course being smaller it will also be HOTTER higher HF and Cool faster lower capacity, so you might also want to adjust the power and air being fed to the coil.

If i leave the 0.5 ohm coil on and try reduce airflow and turn down power. How low can you go on a 0.5 ohm safely?

Edit: I'll change the coil too now seeing as that'll make more difference

I always drive with the window cracked at the very least, I like fresh air. You should open the window and exhale out at least because the vapor tends to leave a sticky residue on the windows and whatnot.

I do occasionally leave it open slightly with the heating cranked up. As the car tends to steam up the windows from the inside after a couple of draws

Vapor production is in a given tank is IMO very much influenced by power and VG/PG mix. More power will require more air flow to stay efficient. Switching coils can change the power range they work well in but other than allowing you to lower the power will not do much for less vapor.

A week ago I mixed up a batch of juice at 100% PG. That makes a huge difference in vapor production compared to my typical 50/50 mixes. If I had to estimate the difference I would say it puts out about 20% of the vapor, but that's really subjective. I'm vaping at 40 watts.

I would think that adding some water, say around 5-10% would take the vapor production down even further.

It's a great way to reduce vapor and still get the rest of the higher power vape experience.
