exhale through nose?

[cags]

I find that I exhale from my nose and mouth, but I don't seem to be able to control it. I'm a girl and I don't think it's that "attractive" to exhale through my nose ...but it seems to be involuntary for me...
so I wonder how you control whether you exhale through your nose or mouth?

 

[Broodwich]

Gal here too and I also exhale through my nose, but I do it on purpose Even if it's not attractive I'm sure it's more attractive than when I smelled like cigarettes.

I don't worry too much about what others think about me when it comes to vaping b/c I'm so happy and proud of myself for doing it.

I smoked cigarettes for 25 years and never ever exhaled through my nose. On my second day of vaping I was chatting with my daughter and she says, "ewww why do you keep exhaling through your nose?". I was shocked and a little disturbed because I had no clue that I was. It must have something to do with the different way we inhale the vapor. I'm also going to admit that I then went and vaped for a awhile in front of the mirror and can now feel when I'm doing it, lol. So when I'm at home I really don't worry about how I'm exhaling and let my daughter mock to her hearts content. However when I'm out in public I do try to exhale only through my mouth....vanity I know!

Wait, why exactly is exhaling through the nose somehow unattractive as opposed to exhaling through the mouth? I don't get it.

 

[Denyse]

I wouldn't call it unattractive. I think for some of us girly girls it just doesn't feel very girly if that makes any sense at all, lol.

 

[zyglrox]

Haha, nope. But I understand.

 

[Denyse]

Or maybe a better way of explaining...for years I watched my Dad run around with a cigarette hanging out of his mouth inhaling without ever actually touching the cigarette and then exhaling through his nose. In my mind it became such a "man" way of smoking I just never exhaled through my nose. That's just me though and I know it sounds very vain.

I grew up with both of my parents smoking. They both exhaled through their nose. I've never thought about it being unladylike. I exhale through my nose to help with my allergies. It keeps my nasal passages open.

 

[cags]

my main question is how do you control it? it seems like most people control it, but I can't and I also can't feel it ..
maybe I'll try the mirror like denyse to see if I can feel it...

I exhaled through my nose when I smoked. It kind of bothered me that I did...I used to try to catch myself and not do it because I didn't think it was very good for my sinuses. I didn't succeed. When I started vaping, at first I ALWAYS exhaled through my mouth. It was like I felt like I couldn't exhale out my nose for some reason. Now I do, though, and with vaping I don't worry about my sinuses. I just do a "mash up"...a little of both mouth and nose exhale. I don't know exactly how I "learned" to control it. Probably the mirror thing would be the best bet for starters.

I'm a girl, too.

I just take a deep inhale of vapor, then breathe in a little air. Close my mouth and exhale through my nose.

 

[Chrispixx]

For me its easy to control, just practice to control it, I find that the vapor dries out my sinus passages,then i have to use saline nasal-spray. For me the vapor makes my nose run, and i sneeze most times so i only do it on occasion.

 

[Lowlife]

It is just like breathing through your nose or mouth. I have to actually think about exhaling through my nose if I want to. It just becomes a habit.

 

[Butters78]

Correct me if I'm wrong but don't we get more nic when we exhale through the nose because the nasal membranes absorb nic as well?

That was my problem as well, I actually had no idea I was doing it so I had to go stare at myself while exhaling. I've come to find that I actually prefer to exhale some through my nose because I feel I get more flavor, not sure if there is any truth to that theory but I feel I enjoy it more when I do. The best way I know to describe how to control it is as already mentioned..it's like breathing out of your nose or mouth. I did have to watch myself do it though until I could feel the difference. Wish I could explain it a way that helps more.

 

[Troy421]

I think it's something to do with the vapor it's happens to me and I didn't even try.

 

[JooseMane]

This is what I've always assumed.. I will usually take a couple inhales, and then a few puffs like a cigar where I let it sit in my sinus cavity and mouth.

 

[legaldisaster]

I cannot help to exhale through both at the same time. Whenever i exhale through my mouth I get streams coming from my nose as well, or vice versa if I exhale through, my nose. Its weird, but I just let it go and enjoy watching it in the mirror at stop lights

 

[RickAppling]

That is how I do it. But that is the only way I get any sense of flavor at all. Never smoked so I did not have to unlearn any thing. Buy also I was a little confused how to get started.
