What exactly is meant by mouth to lung?

[Jon The Vape]

What about a standardised suck-o-meter.
It sucks (or blows if that is easier) at a known pressure and measures the volume of air through the device per minute.
The results can be translated into a scale between 0 (you forgot to open the airflow) to 10 (totally unrestricted).
Variable airflow devices would have either a range from min to max or a number for each air setting.

We would soon learn where on the suck-o-meter scale we liked to vape.

We could get rid of terms like mtl, dtl, rdtl etc.
Instead of mtl and dtl threads you could specify a range on the airflow scale based on the devices you like and who you want to keep out of the club.

Want one
Just need to have a name for the scale of measurement now. Bit like the Beaufort Scale for sailors.
Answers on a postcard please.
My suggestion is the Matt Factor Scale in honour of Discomatt who is know to be a bit windy [emoji16]

That's exactly what I was thinking, but I was far too busy being facetious and troubling with innuendo to vocalise it


But then again, you're kinda proposing 11 categories and apparently me giving them names instead of numbers and only saying roughly 3 was too many...

That’s really made me chuckle

No I am proposing an infinite number. Depending how picky you are you are. 1might be too tight and 2 too loose. Your perfect vape might be 1.5 or 1.75 or even 1.832

Would this be a logarithmic or linear scale?

I initially proposed 3 (MTL - LMTL/RDTL - DTL) so as to be able to narrow down your preference a little and was accused of it being bollocks and "more useless acronyms". I extended the acronym usage so that it's a possibly recognisable system.

I did GCSE maths and I'm pretty sure infinite is bigger than 3...

Oh, by the way...

I'd massively prefer a consistent numeric scale instead of a handful of names, I'm definitely not arguing against it - the sole reason (apart from distraction) that I didn't go into it was being shouted down for adding complexity by suggesting that 3-4 categories might be useful.

I guess I'm just not that fussy. None of the set ups I'm using right now (Pasito, Mulan, Corolla) are anywhere the same in airflow or tightness but I can switch between them without having a problem.

Im a slipstreamer and will not be a part of this nonsense

My system gets rid of all the acronyms, everybody will find out what part on the scale their prefered vape is.
In practice the scale would not be infinite because any measuring tool is only accurate within certain perrameters.

Whoever invents the meter will have to do some research to establish the most useful way to calibrate the scale.
I suspect small variances at the tighter end of the airflow will make a bigger difference to enjoyment than at the other end of the scale.
Whether this is true and by how much might influence whether every step on the scale represents the same increase in airflow or whether each step is double the airflow or increased by some other factor.

I am throwing the idea out there for free. I am not doing all the work.
There is an opportunity for a vape blogger or youtube reviewer to become the go to guy for calibrated airflow measurement and comparisons between devices. They can be to airflow what Mooch is to batteries.

They can work out the details.
