1) Unlike a cigarette, drawing harder/faster does not give more vapor. Harder/faster draws gives you thinner vapor. Draw slowly for thicker vapor, as the ecig/mod/PV only makes so much vapor per second. How dilute do you want it? Adjust your draw technique to your own preference. Addendum: Remember you may have to adjust your draw technique with different gear. Some pass a lot more air, so be aware and ready to adjust your technique if you use something different or new.
2) Vapor is not instantly made like smoke is. Vapor is produced from a coil of wire heating up a wick saturated with ejuice. This is not instant. The heating-up takes a second or more (depending on certain variables about the gear being used). So draw a little air (just a little) for the first second or two while the coil gets warmed up enough to make vapor. This is often indicated by a little cracking noise as the ejuice boils where it is in contact with the coil wire. Then draw at the volume and speed that works for you (see #1).
3) You don't HAVE to fully inhale to get the nicotine. But you can do so and get a bit more of it. Vapor is a large particle compared to smoke so it can't go as deep into your lungs. So you get a bit more by fully inhaling, but not much. Holding it in your mouth (where most of the nicotine will be absorbed) and then A) blowing it out through your mouth or nose, or B) inhaling it with (or without) adding air drawn through your nose are both valid options. Go with whatever works for you.
4) Be patient while you find what is right for you. Realize it is going to take time to find the right gear, the right technique, the right ejuice strength, the right ejuice type, and the right ejuice flavors... for YOU.
5) If you cough from vaping, give your body time to recover. If you are getting away from smoking cigarettes, or still smoking them while vaping, you are going to be coughing. A month or three after you stop inhaling smoke entirely, you will finally be able to vape with hardly a cough. The cough is your lungs and throat being injured and/or irritated by the contents of the cigarette smoke. This takes time to heal. Hang in there, it will pass. Note: You will also have to cough up a lot of particulate matter in mucus (Gross, I know) during this healing time. It's unavoidable. It has to go. Headaches as your body detoxifies can also occur. Don't give up, it WILL get better, as you get better.
More information on these points is scattered around ECF, if you wish to read more.
Good luck and happy vaping!
