Can someone explain a mouth-to-lung hit? Is that simply swallowing the vape or is it the same as inhaling a cig?

Like inhaling from a cig, or sucking thru a straw -- into the mouth; at which point, you can choose whether or how deeply to inhale.

Can't imagine not inhaling? What would be the point?

You don't need to inhale to get nicotine from vapor; it absorbs better in the mouth/throat/nose than in the lungs. The inhaling is just for old-times-sake, because it's a habit.

Mouth to lung is just like you would inhale a cigarette. A straight lung hit skips the whole take a drag then inhale bit and you just directly fill your lungs with massive amounts of vapor. Its possible to take far greater amounts of vapor this way. Its a bigger rush and generally not done by most people who are just getting started vaping or people who just prefer low power devices with carto tanks.

So a different set-up is needed than say a Spinner and a clearo for a straight lung hit, right? Thanks for the explanation of the difference between the two. There's so much to learn here when new!

Welp, first you gotta consider that a lot of people new to vaping can't inhale or it sends them into hacking fits even worse than they ever had when smoking. There is no right or wrong about this, but you have to avoid putting it out there as if you aren't lung hitting, then there is something wrong with you. Decades of smoking doesn't leave a lot of people in a "happy place" as far as their lungs are concerned, and they need to un-learn everything they ever knew about their smoking technique if they are going to get started on vaping. ~> http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/ecf-library/337017-inhalation-technique-e-cigarette.html I couldn't lung inhale when I started - the choking fits were killing me.

So there's that.

I was a deep lung inhaler when I smoked - and a multiple times per day coughing/choking/hacking smoker after three decades of doing it. Personally, the last thing I wanted out of vaping was to duplicate anything about the smoking experience. Couldn't lung inhale when I started and really don't miss it. I can now - I just don't miss the experience.

Right. The vast majority of devices that allow straight lung hits are cloud chasing RDAs. You need to have a lot of airflow. And for a dense flavorful vape with this kind of setup, high power is a requirement. Most people do it with high wattage boxes or sub-ohm builds on a mechanical mod.

I am also a mult-inhaler. Mouth to lung with the Kayfun, and straight lung hits with the RDA's. When I started smoking, I quickly got in the habit of a mouth to lung, because it cooled the smoke and made it much more pleasant. Only in the last few months of vaping did I discover the joys of a lung hit with an RDA + open airflow. I've actually been vaping less since I started doing that, because it's much more satisfying to me.

Got it; thanks Dave!

I'm with Noble Gas. I mouth to lung inhaled cigs for over 42 years and did the same with ecigs. I changed to a lung inhale with my drippers because the extra airflow made it nearly impossible to do otherwise. It irritated my throat until I went to higher VG juices, now it's fine. I still mouth to lung my Kayfuns. I can't imagine not inhaling, that would not be satisfying at all.
