Did you lung hit your cigarettes when you smoked?

[englishmick]

I had to go outside to smoke at work and at home. I did sometimes take it straight down into my lungs when I was in a hurry to get my fix and didn't have much time. Or it was really cold or rainy. You can get through a cigarette pretty fast if you do that.

Lung hit the smokes all the time when I smoked. I never lung hit a cigar. The enjoyment in cigars rests in the mouth.

I generally lung hit vapes but I do not like sub ohm.

 

[tj99959]

I was always mouth to lung when I smoked. Sub ohm, RBAs, and lung hitting didn't even exist when I started vaping.
8 watts was considered the ideal power level, and everything had a tight draw.

I tried lung hitting along with sub ohm when it started to become popular, but I flat didn't like it.
So why would I do it if I don't like it!

I lung hit my subtank because vapor is not as dense as smoke.It's more filling and more like smoking a cig...And I lung hit 18mg e-juice

Just wondering, because I just don't get all this sub-ohming and lung hitting equipment that is coming out. I know as a smoker back when I started to vape, if someone sold or gave me a lung-hitting device, I would have never switched. Now that I am 8 months or more into vaping, I still don't have any interest in cloud chasing or lung hitting. I'm quite satisfied vaping on a nautilus at 15-18 watts.

Just wondering of if any of you here used to lung hit your cigarettes or cigars when you were a tobacco smoker. Wanted to start a poll but I don't think that is an option on the new forum.

If you did not lung hit your cigs but you lung hit your e-cig, why do you do it? Just curious.

I never lung hit cigarettes but I do lung hit Vape. It satisfies me and let's remember vaping is a totally different entity then smoking.

As someone else mentioned, the draw is too tight to lung hit for cigs and even in early days of vaping. It wasn't until cloud chasing equipment came out with loose airy draws that it became appealing.

 

[roxynoodle]

No, but it became sort of a natural progression with my vape gear, and I didn't notice for awhile that I was doing it. I think it started with an Orchid. I've noticed I might be doing it on everything, even the tighter airflow attys. I'm sitting here right now with my Lemo, which is set for mouth to lung, and I'm doing long lung inhales, not mouth to lung.

I might be in for a total shock if I were to smoke a cig because my inhalation technique has apparently changed.

I never lung hit cigs. Tried several times and like to have died. But on my sub-ohm setup its the opposite, lung hits are much less harsh and a mouth hit causes a major coughing fit.

Like some of you have said i didnt know lung hits on a cig were so much of a thing.
But to each his own. We all prefer different techniques.

I did towards the end. I was smoking 2 packs a day and when I knew I was going to have to go a while w/o an analog I would fire one up and suck it down in like 90 seconds. I was double puffing them most of the time too. It's a big part of the reason I decided to quit. My lungs ached constantly, but I couldn't put the darn things down.

Compared to vaping when smoking I didn't build coils , buy multiple devices , buy/make different flavours , read and post on a forum about it , watch videos about it.

 

[DaveSignal]

I didn't lung hit cigarettes simply because it is hard to do. I would have to think about it and not close my mouth completely around the cigarette, ie: I would need to be able to suck in a whole lot more air than could get strictly through a tiny rolled up cigarette. If they had made much bigger cigarettes designed for lung hitting, then I certainly would have done it.

 

[Monotremata]

I didn't lung hit when smoking. Don't think it would have been possible with the roll your owns I smoked. The draw would have been too tight, smoke too hot, nic hit too high and would have probably burnt my lips.

I do enjoy lung hitting when vaping though. I find it more satisfying than mouth to lung. A nice big lung full of cool to slightly warm vapor with low nicotine is perfect for me but i can understand why it's not for everyone.

Same here, there is no way I couldve lung hit any of my RYO or even a regular cig. I started vaping as a mouth to lung hitter, but after the last couple of RDAs I got (Derringer and Samurai Bonsai), Ive become a full on lung hitter. Maybe its the lower nic (Im at 6mg now) or something, but the MTL hits just dont do it for me anymore. The airflow on these is such that I dont think its possible to do mouth to lung on em, and my poor old Kayfun 4s just dont cut it now, as good as the flavor is they put out.. A nice big fat lung hit out of the Derringer or Bonsai just blows it away flavor and vaporwise. Not a cloud chaser at all, but thats the tradeoff for using these attys.

 

[oldmanatc]

Used to only MTL now only Lung hit. Its more satisfying to me. Subtank is even too tight of a draw for my preferences. Right now im using a freakshow RDA exclusively, but have a Zepharus on the way.

Six months ago I thought lung hitting was for renegades, derelicts, delinquents and vagabonds. Now I only lung hit. Much more satisfying.

 

[sofarsogood]

I was doing lung hits for the first couple of months then drifted back to mouth to lung and will stay there. My house mates and coworders aren't putting up with clouds even if I was interested. I do 1.4-2.0 ohm single coils at 16-20 watts in a dripper. I'm looking forward to trying temp control.

 

[UncLeJunkLe]

Interesting. BTW: To those wondering how you can ling hit a cigarette or a mouth-hit-designed clearomizer, you have to "slip stream" to make it possible. That means you have to put the cigarette or drip tip in your lips as usual but not tight and leave the sides of your lips slightly open to allow air in through both sides of the cig or drip tip as you draw. You can get about double the vapor from a nautilus tank if you do this, mostly because you can draw longer. I don't recommend taking long lung hits on a small clearo as you will most likely get burnt hits at some point.

As far as mouth hitting from a sub-ohm tank, I tried that but when you close the airflow up too much on a sub-ohm tank, it makes the vapor very hot and the flavor very intense. The hot vapor is what is really a deal breaker for me. However, I have found that if you put a long drip tip on a sub-ohm tank it is more doable for a mouth hitter like me. Below is the setup i sometimes use a a mouth hitting device (Subtank Nano with 1.2ohm coil on a box mod at around 20W)...

(sorry for the crappy pic...and yes, that is a cloupor mini and it has not blown up yet...lol)

That's the long stem from my now-defunct Kamry K1000 e-pipe. That makes the stem very expensive...lol. It doesn't fit all the way in but it goes past the first o-ring and is fairly stable

Yet I still find the draw too airy even at one air hole. If I close it to half a hole, then then flavor is way too intense. But small, light hits is kinda doable.

I find mouth hitting on a nautilus tank at any airflow setting at 15-18 watts at 18 or 12 mg nic very satisfying. Lung hitting irritates my throat on any tank, slip streaming or not.

...and let's remember vaping is a totally different entity then smoking.

eh, sort of. I find mouth hitting at 15-18 watts at 18mg or 12mg nicis very much like smoking a cig, except for the holding of the cig between your fingers or lips. But the act of drawing and the mouth/throat feel I find very similar.

I was a 2.5-3 PAD smoker - both full flavor filters (generics) and filterless (generics) cigs.

 

[Rabbit Slayer]

No.. but I always used to lung hit when "pulling tubes" from a tall water pipe.

Umm, what other way would there be to inhale from a "water pipe"?

 

[coolerat]

I hit the cigaettes hard. I had alot of them to get in so I didn't get to attached to them. I lit one off the other and sucked them in before the first ash feel off. Filters were always jet black when I was done.

I found early vaping to be very unsatisfing. And pointless. It also wasn't very popular so others must have thought the same.

Modern gear kicks .... and makes vaping fun and easy. And popular. For once I'm "normal".

I was a lung hitter for cigarettes, puffer for cigars and pipes. It took a while to adjust to mouth-to-lung hitting on vapes starting out, but that remains my preference now.
