Hello, I have a stupid question. When vaping, am I supposed to inhale directly into lungs? I've been vaping the way I used to smoke cigs, fill up my mouth with smoke and then inhale into the lungs, but I noticed that I am not getting too much vape this way. I noticed on some u tube vides that people inhale that thing straight into the lungs and produce much more clouds???

I just bought Triton 2 and my old technique of filling up my mouth first is not working? I am using I leaf 40w where should I set my wattage? This is "sub ohm" tank....

Thanks!

depends on the atomizer.. Some have so much airflow that they ONLY work when Lung hit, some can be adjusted to a mouth to lung hit.

I prefer a tightish draw, that can be dragged like a cigarette, but loose enough that I can also lung hit it I I choose. See i do a combination draw MTL start to Lung hit finish in same hit.

There is no wrong way, if it works for you it is correct.

There are tanks good for mouth to lung vaping (tighter draw) and tanks good for direct to lung. I never change my style for a tank, I buy tanks that suit my style, mouth to lung like I smoked. Nautilus mini, GS Air are good for mouth to lung. Triton 2 has an airier draw more suitable for lung hits from what I've read. You have the wrong tank for your style I believe. Unless you want to change your style to a cloud chucking direct to lung subohmer;) You could try decreasing the air flow.

There are two popular ways to take your hits: mouth-to-lung and direct lung. You're used to mouth-to-lung.
If you want to keep that same style, you'll need to do the following:
decrease the airflow slightly on your tank.
use higher resistance coils (1ohm or higher)
decrease the wattage down. Start at 10watts, go up by 1watt until you find a comfortable vape.

If you want to take the big lung hits (i described it to my wife as taking a hit from a .... and she understood), then keep the airflow open, keep the resistance low (below 1ohm) and start your vape at 25watts, then increase until you have a comfortable vape.

changing drip tip to something more restricted will help with the mouth-to-lung.

good luck.
