Don't laugh..but I JUST learned how to vape

[angstless]

I have been here 20 or so days..and watched all the videos and saw those vapers draw hard, but I thought it was a preference, not how to vape.

When I smoked, I thought short draws and shallow breath would save me from lung cancer (LOL) and I did the same with my vaper...only to feel not as satisfied as I thought I might..

Fast forward to an old post on this site which said..the only way to vape is long draws and deep breaths to satisfy like a cigarette..and sure enough...when I tried it, it worked!

Hope this helps others who might not know this info...I certainly did not.

There's really no right way or wrong way. Just finding what works for you
I'm happy you found your way!

Next thing you know you'll be wishing the 10-second timer on your PV was 5 seconds longer so your lung inhale could have just a little more to it...

It's definitely about finding what works. Glad you found it!

Agreed..... Whatever works for you.

I've read the same thing and watched the same videos, but I can't do it that way.

I typically take two pretty quick puffs (without inhaling - like a cigar), followed by one longer puff of about 3 seconds. I've tried taking an 8 second inhale/puff and just don't have the capability.

Unless you jam your drip tip in your eye, you're doing it right

Does up my nose count?

Well, I suppose it's one way to inhale

This would be the primer puff. You should give it a shot too angstless

It depends on your setup, nic level, power, etc. For cartos I smoke 36mg at 6v and only take 1 1/2 to 2 second drags and it kicks like a mule. With my RBA and a 1.0 ohm micro coil, a 2 second drag is all that is needed to kick the same as the 6v carto. Anything longer than a 4 second drag and you are picking yourself up off the floor wondering if anyone got the license plate number of the truck that hit you......

Congrats on finding a way for this to satisfy!! It took me almost two years of off and on vaping to "get it". The right set up (for me) the right juice flavor and strength, and very important...... the technique.

I am still wondering about the 5-8 second draw tho. How fast are they counting? If I count really fast, with no "one thousand" in between, I can get all the way to 5.

No kidding !!

Yep. Everyone is different. Try different things until you get the best you want. I take two short puffs, then a longer one. It works for me. May not work for someone else.

Just about exactly the way I do it, sometimes 3 puffs then deep drag. I learned by watching PBusardo I think.

No need to count, my handy dandy Evic does that for me in case I get dizzy from the nic hit.
