For the newbies that are missing that nic buzz

[ambition]

I just remembered something that I used to do when I started on ecigs that helped me get an initial nicotine buzz like you get from analogs that seems to be missing from ecigs.

For some of you new vapers that are missing that buzz and are probably vaping at a lower nic mg/ml level than you should be...try this...

"The Chinese Drawback"

Lol, not sure where the name comes from, that's just what we used to call it as kids. It's probably as "Chinese" as Chinese takeaway though and I'm not sure if it has other names but it's really simple.

Take a good long draw on your ecig into your mouth, but don't inhale.

Open your mouth and (maybe with a little encouragement from the tongue) allow the vapor to rise up and gently float up out of your mouth.

Start inhaling deeply through your nose until all the vapor is gone.

Don't forget to exhale.

In case you're interested, getting nicotine from vaping requires a different technique than smoking and there are suggestions that nicotine is absorbed via the nose and mouth almost as much as via the lungs when vaping. It has to do with the size of the vapor droplets and nicotine finding it harder to "escape" from the vapor droplets or something to that effect...

...anyway, try it and see if it works for you.

I thought that was called a "French Inhale"...

 

[swedishfish]

Yes, we call it french inhale too and I suck at it.

French inhale huh? Sounds a little too classy for us Aussies.

I'm guessing that's not you in your avatar then, coz that girl seems to have it going on.

I might have to practice. When my husband isn't home. He caught me one day with two pvs in my mouth trying to mix flavors. (It doesn't work- save yourself the embarrassment). He'll be looking for Vapors Anon. meetings.

So did I when I first tried it. It's old hat now.

Didn't hear about it until after I quit smoking.

I'm sure in France they just call it "smoking a cigarette"...

Maybe it doesn't work for mixing flavors, but you could choke a horse with the vapor...

I think it's called too much time on your hands. Actually, I was thinking about mixing two juices together. Thought, let me try it this way first!

 

[Jim Bob]

For some reason I just pictured two 5v mods with 100% VG being vaped a the same time "mixing flavors" and a "fog alert" for the entire area!

OMG, I just did this the other day - wanted to see if menthol added anything to the flavor of a tobacco I was trying out!
(I couldn't tell. But it sure was, um, interesting.)

Vape harder with 24mg nic juice and if you don't get that buzz somethings wrong with you .

 

[ambition]

Or we could always try some of that 272mg special that was floating around for a bit.

 

[Plumes.91]

Its called french inhale here too, and I think it got its name from old french movies?

 

[Warren D. Lockaby]

I'm guessing it's called "French inhaling" here in the U.S. because we're closer to France, and it's called "Chinese Drawback" in Australia because down there they consider smoking funny one of the drawbacks of being Chinese. Uh, plus, they're closer to China than France. But that's just a guess.

 

[CountSmackula]

No nic buzz? You can always get some 36mg juice. That's where I started.

Or, you can always follow the old mantra "Hit it & hold it." You'll have pretty much no vapor, but you do get more nic absorbed that way.

 

[crazybones]

Getting some good ideas to help me get off the analog

 

[gumchewer]

this I will tell ya. Call it what you want, but it totally changes the drag.
You get a whole different feel and taste when you French Inhale.
Or since 9-11 here in the states, Freedom Inhale.
