Ecigs: Do you inhale all the way into your lungs?

[Pega]

I posted this in another sub-forum:

I remember reading somewhere that not a lot of the nic is absorbed by the lungs anyway (most of it through the lining of the throat and mouth, please correct me on this if I'm wrong).

Not fully inhaling would be a great risk reduction technique and if it reduces my nic absorbion by 10-40% I'll just get higher mg nic/ml.

Would be really curious to find out what the wider numbers are out there...

I inhale just a little bit into my lungs.
Its true you do get nic via lips throat etc etc.
Years ago when i was into the pipe seen and carving my own as well i gave up the stinkys for a few years because although one does not inhale pipe tobacco i would get the nic fix and then some as pipe tobacco is very potent.

Glad that scene is done and over with and just wish these PVs were around 30-40 years back.

When I smoked I shallow inhaled and never exhaled through my nose. Now I cigar style vape in the mouth taste, enjoy, french, out the nose, out the mouth. I breathe so much better than when I smoked. I still have seasonal asthma and so now I dont even inhale.

Apparently vapor is not absorbed too much by the lungs. So it's not even necessary to inhale. I know I feel a lot safer inhaling just into my mouth than into my lungs...

I inhale 70% of the time into my mouth and either blow out the nose, or french inhale (exhale out mouth while inhaling thru nose sucking in the vape) the out my mouth again.

If Im REALLY craving my cigs (quit last week) then I will inhale into my lungs... but I figure I have tortured them enough with 29 years of analogs, lets give them a break.

It is hard to get TH without inhaling.

That's true, but I find I don't really need a TH. Never understood why people were so caught up on something irritating their airways...

 

[terrilg70]

Yup.....I deep inhale. Prob. should not but one step at a time. LOL

 

[TonyTT]

tried out the french inhale....weird feeling a nicotine buzz coming from my nose...

 

[onename]

<SNIP> or french inhale (exhale out mouth while inhaling thru nose sucking in the vape) the out my mouth again.

Just tried that and that tales a bit of talent LOL

 

[Serpent67]

Oh yeah.

Puff like chimney, french inhale, whole nine yards.

Gotta get that nic.

I always draw then inhale, but usually not very deeply. When I smoked I did short sharp inhales then exhaled, with vaping I hold for a half second or so then exhale. Sometimes I take a deep breath, but when I do most of the vapor dissipates in my lungs and I like seeing the big clouds. =D

Drawing directly into the lungs kicks up the throat hit too much and I can't handle that. =\

Yes but not always,we're trying to simulate smoking.

draw into my mouth, inhale into my lungs and exhale through the nose.
