Do You Vape With Your Throat Closed Or Open?

[DC2]

Here's a poll that was done not too long ago: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/polls/33605-how-do-you-inhale.html

I'm not talented enough to inhale strait into my lungs. I need a mentor.

 

[Kurt]

I do both, depending on the need/situation. Lung hit gets a lot of vapor in and not as much exhaled if a good hit is needed when one can't really vape easily in the public, or if I just want that serious hit. Mouth hit is more when I'm at home and can just enjoy like smoking an analog or a pipe. Never did lungs hits with an analog. A slow nasal exhale with a high-nic vape is a nice tickle, as is French inhale. No right or wrong way, really, just what works for ya.

 

[MikeDeason]

I inhale straight into the lungs as I did with analogs.

What kind of cigs did you smoke?

I didn't know anyone direct inhaled real cigs...now I know how that guy I smoke with at the bar smokes an entire cigarette in 2 minutes.

That's me. I can smoke an entire 100 menthol in 2:30.

Needless to say, I usually direct inhale vape unless I'm trying a new flavor. For tasting, I do small drag to mouth>small nasal exhale> big drag to the lungs > exhale large vapor cloud.

 

[alter.ego]

there is no real secret to the direct lung inhale, just breath rather than suck, expand the cheast and diaphram, like when you get a physical, and the doc goes for the lung test. the throat hit is magnified, and the exhaled vapor cloud is drastically diminished.

I think I've only ever known one or two people who made a practice of direct-inhaling their cigarettes, and I always though it looked peculiar. And when I tried it myself I found it an unpleasant assault on the bronchials. It seems more do-able with vapor, but not for me. (Old habits...)

What I do find myself doing increasingly (and I'll bet a lot of you are too) is double-dragging: taking some vapor in and then taking some more in as I exhale out the nose. The kind of thing I usually reserve, when smoking, for when I'm trying to finish a cigarette quickly (still present tense, increasingly past tense).

I've been double dragging too!

Analogs I would also inhale into mouth then lungs

I tried it. GAK COUGH COUGH GAK !!! Hated it! Was awful....but thanks for the tutorial

I alternate also.

 

[Fataliya]

I inhale directly into my lungs, but I put my tongue up a bit, so the vapor (and flavor) glides over it in the process, so I taste it on the way in, and on the way out.

 

[klutzyleo]

I'm not a fan of direct inhale at all. It makes my throat all scratchy for awhile whenever I try it, no matter how much water I drink afterward.

 

[Darkvapor]

i just mouth inhale then lungs, but analogs i did both ways.
But now that i have not used an analog in just over 24 hours. i cant handle the throat hit of direct!

 

[Israfil]

I've never been able to take the direct inhale on analogs or ecigs, so I just suck it into my mouth, then remove the mouth from the cart and inhale air to suck the vapor into my lungs. Probably not the most efficient but it works for me.

 

[foretwoone]

I've always smoked analogs mouth to lung, but lately i've been needing more TH so im trying direct inhale and its so much better. The problem is the only way i can direct inhale is to let some air slide by the cart. If i totally seal the cart with my mouth it just goes to my mouth. Is this normal or is there lung training needed?

 

[lightinup]

I use the same method I did when I smoked analogs. From mouth and then into lungs. IMHO, I think this method really lets you "taste" your ejuice. Direct inhaling makes my throat sore after awhile.

 

[Data4]

I've always done the two part thing, but one thing I do differently with vaping is that I exhale out the nose about 90% of the time. I do it to catch the flavor on the way out. Never did it with cigarettes as a rule.

 

[underwater goddess]

Lol, someone will have to explain to me what all this stuff means. I didn't understand much of it.

 

[Dillinger]

I pretty much do exactly the same. Even with normal cigarettes I would inhale straight to the lungs, hold then exhale. My wife thought I was crazy as she did the mouth thing. What can I say, I needed my nicotine!

I inhale the same way, for the same reason

 

[nbstraw]

i draw in my mouth then inhale
