Final Video Project: Cloudchasing 101

Cloud chasing and vaping are relatively the same.  The main difference between the two, is that cloud chasing is considered to be used in actual competitions such as cloud chasing, and flavor chasing.  Regular vaping is just blowing clouds of vapor for the fun of it that aren't as big as the clouds you get from cloud chasing. 

People choose to vape for a number of different reasons.  Some like to do it to help them quit smoking cigarettes, and some do it for recreation.  People find vaping relaxing and a way to help calm them down.  One of the factors of cloud chasing is that, you need to build or wrap your own coil in order to be able to blow big clouds of vapor.  Without having a coil built, you won't be able to blow big clouds of vapor and most of your inhales will probably end up being dry. 

There's a lot that goes into the process of wrapping your coil to cloud chase.  You need to make sure you have a good amount of wire to be able to coil around the modifier and you also need to torch the wire before you begin wrapping it just to burn off any manufacture oils, or chemicals that may be left on the wire. 

There are also some safety precautions that should be taken into consideration before you get to the final step of building your coil.  You want to get an ohm reader so you can measure the amount of ohms the wire contains just so your not inhaling anything bad into your body.  The lower the ohms, the hotter the vapor will be, the higher the ohm measure, the cooler the vapor will be.

Cloud chasing can be fun, and a way to compete against other people who vape.  Just remember that it takes a lot of practice and getting your body used to especially your lungs, to inhale vapor and then being able exhale it out creating a vapor cloud.  It's not something you just pick up and start doing without haven't had any practice with it before.  So have fun vaping, and just remember to be safe and take into account all of the safety precautions before you start cloud chasing and vaping in general.

Video Project- Vaping Myths

For our video we decided to touch on some of the myths about vaping and how it has become popular across the nation.  Vaping has become a new trend that is growing very rapidly across the country. The five myths that we were gonna talk about were the following; Electronic cigarettes containing antifreeze, Nicotine causing cancer, vaping being just as deadly as analog cigarettes, vaping being a gateway to tobacco, and second hand vapor being a threat to bystanders.

 Vaping is the healthy alternative to smoking cigarettes.  Vaping is used with E-juice that has propylene Glycol and vegetable glycerin to create big clouds when exhaling.  The E-juice leaves a distinct after taste that can sometimes be fruity, sweet, or sour, depending on what flavor the e juice is.

Users can choose the level of nicotine all the way from 24 milograms being the most to 0 being the least amount.  Some people use E-cigarettes or even vape mods to help them stop  smoking regular cigarettes that have tobacco in them. 

The E-liquid is very overpriced currently in the market and for this reason, many consumers choose to make their own liquid since it's cheaper then buying the actual liquid in the store or at a vape shop.  Vaping is defined as the act of inhaling water vapor through a personal vaporizer or electronic cigarette creating the battery to heat up the liquid that is atomized into a vapor.  E-cigarettes differ from traditional cigarettes since they do not contain carcinogens and vinyl chloride therefore there is no secondhand smoke associated with vaping.   

There are some health risks that are brought up about e-cigarettes such as there being a less likelihood of them causing cancer and are less harmful than traditional cigarettes.  The long-term effects of vaping have yet to be initiated.  The heart association mentioned that e-cigarettes containing nicotine but no tobacco could potentially serve as a "gateway" drug to addict young people who may decide to use regular cigarettes or smokeless tobacco.

Vaping is used for recreational use, or it can also be used to help smokers quit smoking regular cigarettes which have been being advertised a lot more lately through TV commercials.  Scientists think that it actually works well as another alternative to help smokers quit and studies have been done to prove it reduces tobacco cravings.
