its a dick measuring thing for younger generations as far as i can tell... these guys try to get the biggest vapor clouds out of these machines... they crank them way up, which tests the limits of safety, for the thickest clouds... i hear they even have competitions for it and judge thickness and the distance it will go...
the new "mods", which are basically battery boxes, hold lithium ion batteries to power a wire coil with some type of cotton wrapped through them with whatever flavored juice you want it to taste like... the serious guys will make their own coils and thread their own fabric through the coils, and make kinda like a direct drive (unregulated) off of the 2 batteries, making a ton of heat, to make a ton of vapor... they will make adjustments to try to control the volts, ohms, and amps going to the coil... sub ohm vaping is a big deal now i guess...
i guess it's like building a hot rod for vapers...

I don't smoke but I enjoy vaping certain flavors. I only do it as a social thing and bum off my good friends when we're shooting pool, having a few beers, or just socializing. It doesn't smell terrible like a cig and it can't be worse than a cig.... I've even contemplated buying a used one from a good friend to have around the house, but I think I'll just stick to the social aspect for now. It's never left me with a sore throat or feeling any worse in the gym (avid runner).
My wife tried those e-cigs a few years ago and as a pack a day smoker they made her feel worse after only a days use. Lungs and throat hurt much more than smoking a full pack a day.
it actually moisturizes your lungs, or your sinuses if you blow it out through your nose... i can feel a big difference from that already... kinda like breathing in the steam that comes out of a humidifier...
the craziest feeling i get from it is that after blowing out the vapor, my mustache is wet... from what i have read so far, it is not dangerous to at least most people... i read more every night, but i know my body sure likes it better than smoking...

Well I can't promise I will quit giving you good natured shit about the vape lifestyle, I can say congrats on kicking the cigs! If vaping is keeping you from ripping 40 darts a day, I say vape on brother!
no worries, i'm not thin skinned... was just curious if others viewed it like i did a month ago, and i think most did...
