Hey, first time e-cigarette user here. From what I've read online, you don't actually have to inhale the vapor just let it sit in your mouth and exhale. However, I don't get the full flavor this way and it seems strange for me using it like this. Also, it did say inhaled if desired. So, what I've been doing is holding the power button down for 4-5 seconds and slowly taking the vapor inside my mouth then inhaling through my lungs just a slight bit hardly at all for the blueberry flavor and quickly exhaling through my mouth. Questions is: Is this the right way of doing it? It has been working great I just want to make sure I'm getting the full effects / not damaging my lungs doing it this way.

Hi Krogan ... I began using e-cigs on July 2nd and use them just like a tobacco cigarette as far as drawing, inhaling and exhaling. As a matter of fact, that "throat hit" upon inhaling is what has helped me (so far) not pick up a tobacco cigarette since. You do not say if you were/are a tobacco cigarette smoker before. I'm not sure just holding the vapor in my mouth would give me the nicotine satisfaction as effectively as inhaling does. Are you using e-cigs for the nicotine?

Your technique sounds spot on to my knowledge. I tend to take long drags and immediately inhale a lot from habit, but more and more I let it sit in my mouth then blow vape rings ;) on the exhale let some go through your nose. Our lungs don't absorb vaped nicotine nearly as efficiently as smoke. As far as the flavor most places I've gotten liquid from, both online and B&M, will add extra flavor for you free. Can't hurt to ask.
 
Uhhh....I'm not sure if you can damage your lungs with vaping as long as ur doing it in moderation. My doctor gave me his approval of vaping stating that its better than smoking. I suggest finding a company that sells Organic 100% VG liquids with no artificial flavors or coloring. Just run a search for 100% VG eliquids. I try to avoid vaping PG liquids cause I'm allergic to PG. In answer to your question, the way I vape is to take a puff, fully filling my mouth with vapor, and then I fully inhale into my lungs, and then exhale, do not hold it in your lungs, just exhale immediately. Hope that helps.
