It would seem one of the major frustrations of new users can all be boiled down to one thing...
Learning how to inhale with a PV PROPERLY. It's advised to take long, slow drags on each and every owners manual, but most don't know just HOW long or HOW slow they're SUPPOSED to be doing it.
Once newbies 'get it', their other PV issues are secondary. There's a lot of posts where forum members advise new users to use the proper technique, but it's all scattered throughout the forum.
So, here you go..I'm doing a 'guide' based on using a MANUAL 510, which is one of most popular first models.
1. Press the button for around 1-2 seconds BEFORE you start to inhale
2. Without letting go of the button, draw on the PV SLOWLY. Your inhalation should be at least FIVE seconds long guys!
It's just THAT easy!
If you're frustrated because you don't feel like you're GETTING anything, that's because you're probably smoking it like an analog, short, quick puffs is what we're USED to doing, but this is NOT a cigarette.
While ordering a manual PV is strongly recommended for everyone, if you have an automatic version, (where you just 'drag' on it to get it started), then you use the same method, you just don't have to hit any buttons beforehand, so take a 'primer puff' and you're good to go!
Bottom line is, take a LONG drag...at least 5 seconds in length!!
Hope this helps!!
