Vape Airflow Adjustment Guide
Customize your vaping experience with simple adjustments
What is Airflow Adjustment?
Airflow adjustment lets you control how much air mixes with vapor, directly affecting flavor, cloud size, temperature, and throat feel.
Almost every modern vape device—from refillables to pods to disposables—now includes some form of airflow control.
Why Airflow Adjustment Matters
Cloud Size
Open airflow = bigger clouds
Closed airflow = smaller clouds
Flavor Intensity
Tighter airflow = stronger flavor
More open airflow = lighter flavor
Puff Temperature
Open airflow = cooler vapor
Closed airflow = warmer vapor
Throat Feeling
Closed airflow = stronger throat hit
Open airflow = smooth and gentle hit

How to Adjust Your Airflow
Find the Control
Look for a small ring or slider near the bottom of your tank or pod.
Adjust Accordingly
Turn or slide to open (more air, bigger/cooler clouds) or close (warmer, richer flavor, stronger hit).
Test and Tweak
Take test puffs at different positions to find your perfect setting, starting somewhere in the middle.
