How Long Do You Inhale For?

[khalidmna]

Hi all

Just curious to know how long everyone inhales for? I don't mean how long you hold it in for before you exhale, but how long you suck in through your device for?

I ask because people say you need to suck in for at least 8 seconds because the first initial seconds are wasted on the coil being primed. I also see a lot of vapers on youtube who inhale for about 7-8 seconds, but I can only manage 5 seconds on 25VW before it starts to feel too harsh. I can do 8 seconds on 15VW but feel I'm missing out and don't know whether it's do with my lung capcity or whether I have to just tough it out and allow my lungs to adapt?

Sorry to go on, but also say you suck in for 5 seconds at 25VW but can manage to suck in for longer at 15VW say for 8 seconds, are you getting as an effective vape as the 5 second 25VW vape?

5-8s for me according to those puff counters on the isticks.

As far as a coil primed or warmed up. I hold the button, blow air through the rda or tank then inhale. According to my iStick 50w since it has a timer, 4 seconds is average at 25 watts. I can go longer, but I don't see a need to for myself personally.

Depends of the setup. On my daily driver (see the profile pic), usually 6-8 seconds. Dripping, I try to go longer and fill the room with flavorful vapor. I even have my mouth to lung setup. On that one, 4-6 seconds, so that I don't fracture a rib.

Same...3-4 secs...I fing those that go for deep vapes to be disturbing

 

[edyle]

5 - 15 seconds

seriously? Only suck as much as you can handle! There is no standard! Lol

 

[ElevenEleven]

Three seconds max.

After 40+ years of smoking, there's no way I could do a 10 second inhale. My battery cut-offs are in no danger of being encroached.

5-7 seconds, usually. I only vape around 8 watts on my istick, fwiw.

Do what you're comfortable with.
Can depend on your build , juice , watts, tank,mod.

 

[Puff2K]

About 2 seconds at between 10 and 15 watts.

Not as long as it took me to write this.

Using my Subtank Mini with the .5 ohm heads, I generally inhale anywhere from 6-10 seconds at around 24W.

My typical vape is 2-3 seconds at 35 - 45 watts. When I get rambunctious once in a while at around 60-70 watts my drags get a bit shorter than that and warmer.

 

[TaketheRedPill]

3 seconds

i used to vape around 4-5seconds when i used to do kanthal builds at 0.3-0.7ohms@40watts. Then I discovered nichrome wire in mech mods. Closest thing to 'smoking' and is much better for me now. only 0.5-1s pulls with tons of vapor. Nichrome 80 Wire @ 0.15-0.2ohms on a mech. Using Nichrome wire just gets rid of all that rampup time kanthal has.

heres a short vid to show how fast it starts creating vapor. I'm not taking super long drags to stress the crap out of my battery btw, and im running a vtc4. Its pretty hot, i might try to aim for 0.2 next build should be better.

 

[Bunnykiller]

2-3 secs of warm up puffing and then a 5-7 sec inhale.

 

[Alien Traveler]

3-5 sec with Kayfun.

I am a lung inhaling tootle puffer so I often time out the time limiter circuit thingy in the Ego style battery. Not sure how long that is though. Not OCD enough to time it.
