I get a lot more flavor exhaling through my nose at least a little bit. Smell is a huge part of taste.
I never exhaled through my nose when I smoked. Oh, I tried, because it's so "manly", but whenever I did, my eyes would tear up sumptin' fierce !! 
I smoked for 24 years and the only time I exhaled through my nose was after I took a drag and someone made me laugh or snort. Too many beers also made it easier....
I tried with vaping, found out I could with no tears, but also found out I don't like it.

Sometimes explaining how to do the simplest things is really complicated, but not in this case. At least I don't think so ... Besides I love a challenge and I'm high on Easter turkey. What could possibly go wrong!
Try this always with mouth closed for the inhale part:
1. Inhale, leave mouth closed and exhale through nose (yes, the only way to exhale with mouth closed).
2. Inhale, open your mouth slightly (lips mainly) and exhale through your nose. Your tongue will need to be pressed very gently to the roof of your mouth for this to work. It can be the front or back of the tongue making contact. Be very aware of the position of your tongue.
3. Inhale a breath, open your mouth slightly, and exhale through your mouth. To do this you will have removed your tongue completely from the roof of your mouth. Again, be very aware of the position of your tongue.
We now know how exhaling through the nose works and the same for exhaling through the mouth. Control of split between mouth exhale vs nose exhale is accomplished by changing the contact area of the tongue with the top of the mouth. In other words, move your tongue halfway between the #2 position and #3 and you will be exhaling through both mouth and nose.
There are probably a thousand better ways to explain this, but I tried. And I still blame it all on the bird.

LOL!! When I exhale out of my nose only on purpose I feel like a dragon. RAWR. But I was vaping today while doing my makeup and noticed that I leaked vapor out of my nose when exhaling out of my mouth. Gotta admit, didn't look too attractive to me either.
It's kinda hard to explain how to not exhale out of your nose. Go in front of a mirror and try exhaling. Imagine something smells really gross and try to force your breath to only come out of your mouth. Um... try exhaling towards your upper front two teeth and you'll kinda get the gist of how it feels. . . I think. Ok, not kinda hard to explain, really hard to explain. ^_^;;

I exhale through my nose very often, which I was always very conscious of not doing when smoking analogs. It does aide in nic absorption but mostly I do it for taste.
What I'm now obsessed with is french inhaling! I do it constantly! Anyone else?

If is is something you do , accept it. sure some will not like it others will, its you and thats how you are.
I have broken my nose a few times so only one side works now. yes I still exhale some through my nose and yes I know it looks silly only exiting one nostrile but that how it is.

This is weird... Whenever I exhale through my nose (I always pretend like I'm a dragon or something dumb like that), the plume of smoke out of my left nostril goes straight down, and the other plume out of my right nostril goes wide to the right. Why am I a freak?!
Haha I never really noticed it myself. I used to exhale through my nose while smoking analogs, until I noticed how it would dry out my nose so I've never really noticed myself vaping out of my nose.
I'm convinced we can't close our nose off yoitz. Might be just a very small amount of vapor coming through, but it will be there.
Hmm, fascinating twist Rocketpunk! I doubt you are a freak ... suggest you either fill in the hole in your right nostril or trim your mustache on the right side so it's not deflecting vapor
I can control which way I exhale but I think it developed from having allergies and terrible congestion when sleeping.
Totally agree. The best way to get the flavor for me is exhaling through the nose. I NEVER exhale through the nose smoking analogs...it feels gross to me and that's been one of the keys to loving vaping--I can actually taste/smell what tobacco tastes/smells like now. It's like I'm tasting with my nose and smelling with my nose at the same time...it is hard to explain, but I'm pretty sure there's a lot of science on it.
After I vape a while, I find I can smell the tobacco in my cigarette better. (I'm still making the switchover to vaping, finding the right flavors & hardware, etc.)
The nose element is one of the novel things I really like about vaping--who cares what it looks like? It's not as nasty as smoking.
...To the point I have to make a conscious effort to not do it when I'm outside or driving. It's infuriating.

As far as nose/mouth inhale-exhale, I guess it's just something some people have control over. I can have my mouth wide open and control my breathing through my nose. I can do it or not. Mostly, I exhale vapor through my mouth, only. I generally have to make a conscious effort to exhale vapor through both mouth and nose to taste the vapor. Sometimes I exhale through my nose, only. Any time I exhale through any other than my mouth, only, it's a minor thought process, whether conscious or not. When stealth, I hold and exhale through my nose, only.
I think, physiologically, the ability to close the nasal passage is controlled by the same diaphragm that "rattles" when one snores, and one's ability to harness it's function. If ya got it, ya got it. If ya ain't got it, you're bound to look like a dragon, even if it's a girly dragon with sparkly PVs and stuff hehe.

Exhaling through both mouth and nose gives me the full flavor impact from the vapor, total enjoyment. I wouldn't know how to tell you a way to control it but can only ask why would you want to? To me, only exhaling through the mouth lessens the sensation and pleasure of vaping.

Trim the 'stache?! Never! ;-) It won't let me. It physically assaults me if I try.
I tried this! ewwww, that hurt
this does lessen what comes out my nose somewhat... thanks, I'll have to practice that though!

LOL! and you were so nice to not mention that I'm an old girl, but still a girly girl
I have about decided that either I don't have the "thing" that lets you control this or my "thing" doesn't work that well anymore sorry to be late coming back to the thread, my internet was out for almost 24 hours, boo!
How do you do the french inhale? I know how to blow vapor rings since watching igetcha69's how-to vid on blowing vapor rings, but now I am intrigued as to how I can french inhale vapor.

Hi all. Since I've started vaping, I have discovered a really odd inhale routine that is just pleasurable for me...
I don't know why I like it...maybe because I get a flavor rush or because I get better nice absorption. I have no clue, I'm just too new. I think I'll stick with "cause I like it"
I start by taking a big draw and holding it. Then I immediately take another big draw WHILE I'm exhaling the first big draw through my nose. Then I hang onto the second vape and exhale through my mouth.
I know its pretty strange, but I like it.
Thanks
