Just started vaping and am curious...is it best to inhale directly into the mouth w/o involving the lungs or inhale directly to the lungs? When I took my first drag off an ecig, I tried to inhale as if I were taking a drag off a cigarette and had an intense coughing fit. Now, I'm inhaling directly to the lung. Insight....
Best way to inhale....?

For me it depends on the airflow and nicotine level. On my Chalice III (limited airflow) w/ 18mg juice it is mouth to lung. On my Element Stumpy (tons of air) w/ 3mg juice it is lung hits.
I use the Wismec Presa with a Aspire Triton tank. Nicotine level is 12 mg (?) and I cannot do anything other than a lung hit. Lol!
Welcome to the board. You must be younger and have better lungs than I. If I tried direct to lung hits with 12mg juice, I'd be in the hospital. The bottom line is, whatever works for you is where you need to be. I am assuming you're using the 1.8 ohm coils in that Triton; subohming 12mg DTL is far too stiff for most people. But no problem either way. The Triton's airflow can be opened for DTL, or squeezed down for MTL. I think, if it's keeping you off the sticks, then you're doing it right.
It depends on the device. I coughed at first too, but stopped within a day.Most people go mouth to lung on atomizers with resistance above one ohm, and direct to lung on sub ohm atomizers. I like it a little bit harsher than most. I prefer direct to lung with 12mg 50/50 on .5ohm or lower, but that's kind of extreme compared to most people. More pg and more nicotine equals more throat hit which means you are more likely to cough.

Inhaling Vape either way makes me cough. I just don't inhale. Vape is more about the flavor for me and as I understand very little to no nic is absorbed in the lungs but is absorbed via mucus membranes in the mouth. Cigs rarely caused me to cough when inhaling. I suspect one of the toxins in cigs affects the cough reflex to inhibit coughing.
It may be your juice too. Too much PG and high nic levels both make the vape "harsh". A high VG blend is much smoother and makes bigger clouds, but won't wick right in some MTL tanks. I'm actually sensitive/mildly allergic to PG. I can't vape anything more tan 30% VG or it makes my throat red and sore and makes me cough horribly. This could be part of your issue too. Lots of variables, but lots of options to get around them also.
i tend towards direct lung hitting - but i am also using sub-ohm (.2-.5 ohm) coil setups and generally vaping 3-6mg juice - like the airflow, flavor and vapor production
Best way is definitely whatever's most comfortable for you, which will vary depending on your setup (and personal preference, of course).
Personally I like lung inhales, but honestly, none of my RDA's (or tanks) would work too great with M2L style hits unless I seriously restricted the airflow (and dropped the wattage).

With my RDAs I always lung hit.
Had anyone made a lame Bill Clinton "I did not inhale!" Joke yet?
No?
That's a shame. .....
Now I'm all sad..... and hungry.
Seriously, if you lung hit and it's comfortable and enjoyable, keep on vaping.

Thank you that's where my brain went too and I decided not to say it cuz I thot no one would appreciate it LMAO
Life is too short to not make fun of any and all politicians.
Well, for me anyway.
However, I will refrain from any further Clinton homes as they tend to.... sour.
Have a good night mama bear!

thru the ear is not suggested, going thru the nose is a bit harsh.... I would think via the mouth is the best method 
...man, you mean I'm doing it wrong?!thru the ear is not suggested, going thru the nose is a bit harsh.... I would think via the mouth is the best method
*pouts in corner while sucking my thumb* why do ever'body always gotta be judgin' ever'body, mayn...
If you look at PBusardo's early videos, before he jumped on the sub ohm bandwagon, you can see him do a classic vapers inhale.
Inhale the vapor into your mouth and hold it there for about 5 seconds......you can actually see him nodding his head and counting as he does so......THEN inhale into your lungs.
It will be far less harsh that way.
Take's some practice at first since this is different from a smokers inhale but it will become automatic in a couple of weeks.

*sheepish grin* oh yeah, real answers...sorry, got carried away
who, me? Short on sleep? Hyper as heck? No way!!
What everyone is saying about it being whatever is right for you, is true, but bear in mind that you get better nicotine absorption in the mouth, throat, and nasal/sinus mucosa than in the lungs, with vapor. So if lung-hitting feels ok to you, go for it... but try to exhale thru your nose, or both nose and mouth, for better nic absorption. Exhaling thru your nose is also the best way to maximize flavor.

Ok! I've heard about the nic absorption being more mucosal. That's why I've tried to hit like a cigarette but just cant. I will definitely exhale through the nose-mouth method.
