    How do you inhale?

    Oh, man... I'm trying here, I really am! :) Looking at this from the perspective of my vocal training, I THINK what you all are referring to when you say "close the back of your throat" is raising and lowering your soft palate. Raising the soft palate is what happens when you yawn (and when a...

    How do you inhale?

    All of the (admittedly sparse) evidence indicates that we absorb less nicotine with vaping than with smoking. So if you're still smoking cigarettes, it will be hard for you to judge whether your liquid is strong enough. Also, it does take some time for the body to get rid of the chemicals from...

    How do you inhale?

    I think the difference is in how long the vapor is spending in your mouth, vs. in your lungs. (Assuming that the nicotine in the vapor is absorbed more efficiently by the lungs than the mouth, as is the case with cigarette smoke.) Of course, that assumption is based on another assumption -...

    How do you inhale?

    You can't french inhale if you're drawing the smoke/vapor directly into your lungs.... can you? Granted, I was never very good at french inhaling. But I'm pretty sure you need to be holding the smoke/vapor "forward" in your mouth - just behind your lips - in order to do it effectively?

    Dekang juice - Dry mouth

    It'll stick to your atomizer, too - I've soaked attys in coke for 24 hours and still tasted the DeKang afterwards. It makes me a little nauseous. I'm trying to go the DIY route too, but having some trouble finding reasonably-priced unflavored liquid that's not DeKang. I have a shipment of the...

    How do you inhale?

    According to the Handbook of Substance Abuse, it's actually the tobacco: "Nicotine is distilled from burning tobacco and is carried proximally on tar droplets which are inhaled and deposited in the small airways and alveoli. The absorption of nicotine across biologic membranes depends on pH...

    Higher Florida cigarette tax could increase sales of e-cigarettes

    Latest tax hike hit Florida on July 1st. I found this forum on July 2nd. The rest is history... ;)

    How do you inhale?

    Well, a quick Google search turned up the following article: Mouth versus deep airways absorption of nicotine i...[Pharmacol Biochem Behav. 1986] - PubMed Result The relevant quote is: "Forty-one male and 52 female smokers were studied under normal ventilation and smoking conditions, and...

    Dekang juice - Dry mouth

    Yes. I HATE DeKang juice, personally. I get a very strong chemical/perfume smell and taste from every flavor I've tried. Check this thread for more information on non-DeKang suppliers: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/general-e-smoking-discussion/31887-want-try-juices-but.html

    How do you inhale?

    It does, but only slightly. Looking in the mirror, a 4 second draw with an airtight seal produces the same vapor as a 5 second draw with a (very slight) gap at the corners of my lips. Both of which produce FAR more vapor than anything I can manage with mouth inhaling, at least without getting...

    How do you inhale?

    Oh, I'm not saying that people shouldn't cough, I know many do. Like I said, I've probably got a lot less lung damage than many, since I only smoked cigs for 8 years. I'm just saying that if inhaling a huge quantity of actual burning smoke doesn't set me off, no amount of water vapor is going...

    How do you inhale?

    I don't know if direct inhaling causes more nicotine to be absorbed into the bloodstream - that's just an idea I had last night. Based solely on the fact that I seem to vape a lot less than others who had comparable smoking habits. Since I don't have cravings, I just wonder if I'm getting the...

    How do you inhale?

    No offense, but I seriously doubt that. I can take an 8 second pull on a water pipe or large hookah without coughing. At all. Granted, I'm a healthy 27 year old who only smoked cigs for 8 years, so I may not have the lung damage that some of the long-time smokers experience. But coughing...

    Want to try juices but...

    According to the Widow herself, Joye brand liquid is NOT DeKang. But actually... I think The Widow uses 2 suppliers, and one of them IS DeKang. I just got an order from her with Menthol 18mg and Menthol 12mg. The 18mg was from the same supplier as the other juice I've ordered from her (24mg...

    How do you inhale?

    I can drink a milkshake... most of the time. Sometimes I dribble. :oops: Seriously though, drinking something through a straw, I might sip for 1-2 seconds. I can do this "mouth inhaling" thing for 1-2 seconds too, but it feels really lame. No "expanding" feeling in my lungs (what everyone...

    How do you inhale?

    Inhaling without leaving your lungs open is... not possible? I mean, it must be, if so many people are doing it that way. I'm assuming. But I just don't see where the vapor is supposed to GO. It works if I take a tiny drag, like 2 seconds. Any more than that and my cheeks puff out, and then...

    How do you inhale?

    But HOW do you do it? I keep losing the vapor, and it just feels unnatural - like there's way too many steps involved...

    i'm having issues with the fiber

    That was rude. Especially since the OP's problem had nothing to do with burning polyfill. For the record, I use polyfill (batting) as well, and have never had a problem with burning or melting. If you've only replaced your filler 5 times in 2-3 weeks, you're probably not changing it often...

    Decided to by a 510, looking for advice

    I'm not aware of any starter kits like this. But plenty of suppliers carry all of these items. Eastmall has the option to add both a P/T and PCC to your starter kit order. Cignot carries P/Ts and PCCs and has a good deal on starter kits without boxes. I'm sure there are others out...

    How do you inhale?

    How much liquid do you use per day? I'm using ~1ml of 18mg, after smoking 20-30 menthol lights a day for 8 years. Which is much less liquid, and at a lower strength, than many here seem to use. And I'm not having any cravings or withdrawal symptoms, unlike with my previous attempts to quit...
