hey guys, today is my birthday and this thread was the best present!!!!! but on a more serious note, I never knew I blew the smoke out of my nose until my son watched me vape!! haha so I can't describe how to do it, it just does!:p

Happy birthday! I didn't realize that it was comming out of my nose either until I looked in the mirror. I think I sprung a leak!8-o

I noticed when mouth puffing, sometimes I close my mouth slightly, and it's enough pressure to force a small bit of vapor up the back of my throat and through my nasal passages.
With most flavors, I think I just barely smelled it that way, but with the menthol it was actually a bit of a surprise at first.

I think it's just different for everybody based on the internal structure of their nose and mouth.

whistlrr,
What do you vape on?
I can inhale completely and still blow out of my nose...
& my mouth...
& both together...
I use a Dragon (401)...
Or were you kidding...

I was serious.
I have an m401 (not a dragon but the ones from the 'disposable cig' website), a 901 and an 801 (all parts I think on both from truman) and a 510 (some parts from truman orginal parts from a place with a name something like smoke city I'd have to go back and look), and passthroughs for all of them except the 510 (which is mainly how I vape, on the passthroughs)

I have actually gotten vapor out my nose after full system vaping (sending down my lungs, vaping like I was smoking) but very very rarely and I can't do it on demand (or I'd do it all the time) and I have barely gotten any vape out my nose that way. I don't know if I could do anything like my 6 step method I outlined and have it come out both my nose and my mouth at the same time.

I don't think its for lack of vapor, they all do pretty good with this, I think the 510 is the most powerful for vapor-making of them all (but since I don't have a passthrough for it yet I haven't actually been using it since figuring this out to test just yet).

I do have diminished lung capicity (due to one of my birth defects I have what I call an 'inverted sternum' I don't know the proper name for it, I kind of bend inward and go concave at the middle of my chest where most people don't) and that might have something to do with it, possibly I don't draw in enough or hard enough but I don't think so, I really think I vape too slowly somehow for that to work or .. or something I haven't quite figured out yet.

With the mouth-to-nose direct route I really think the trouble there for me has been a matter of body awareness (realizing stuff like how and where to manually open your nose and intentionally send something from mouth to nose etc) and coordination, but I've finally pretty much got it sorted.

. Someone actually suggested putting the mouthpiece in their nostril and taking a hit that way! I guess it's possible that having something like a deviated septum or something might cause a problem.

[I recommend putting your finger on your belly button while exhaling out your nose. I think I read that that helps.]

LMFAO :D:D:D pretty funny

So you're telling me that if you take a mouth drag and blow air out your nose, vapor doesn't come along with it?

I don't believe that.

Lol, yes.

I just sat here and did it. All I had to do was sit here and take a mouthful of vapor in, leave it in my mouth and not do my other things I outlined in an earlier post (not shoving the smoke up with my tongue, etc) and I just exhaled a bunch of air out my nose, no vapor (well possibly a very little bit of vapor at the very very end of the exhale but even if so, most of it was undeniably still air, and air first)

I was using my 901 on its battery (I went and got it from the bedroom where I had it last)

I had this exact same problem until very recently (very recently in fact)
(it was me who finaly resorted to direct nostril vaping off my PV and 'french inhaling') until I could get this sorted.

I knew I wasn't losing my mind when I recalled someone saying they were doing nostril hits. I don't have a problem with trying that, but the possibility of accidentally putting the thing in my mouth later would give me the anticipatory heaves...guess that's why they make the flavored liquids...kills the taste...

whistlrr,
Maybe with time you will be able to- it's not a big deal I guess, It's just another technique of 'smoking"... I didn't start smoking until I was out of HS so I didn't sit around w/ friends and attempt all the "cool" smoking tricks... over time smoking, they just develop I guess and then it gets to where you don't realize you are doing them... I would say nothing is internally "wrong" with you... just it ain't happenin' - that's cool... for many people it should because if you cut off one escape route for air, another must allow it to come out... the only other thing I would think is that your device is not producing vapor properly, or the liquid you use is stealth liquid or not a great vape production liquid... not giving you enough to get an inhale and exhale of vape... I would think though that you wouldn't exhale out of the mouth vape either though... If you can vape out vaper from your mouth, you should get vaper out your nose if you close your mouth airway... but then, that's the thought- don't let it bother you if vaping is still satisfying your cravings...

Luv2CUSmile (and keef), I really appreciate these comments, thank you.
but I am pretty sure it isn't the atomizers and the batteries (because its the same no matter which model or if I'm on batteries or passthrough etc) and in my case it actually is 'just me' (but that's okay, I have physical neurological issues anyway and I'm used to that) but I am learning to live without vaping just exactly like I smoked, in fact I see a lot of other people in places around here kind of talking about how vaping isn't really just like smoking at all, how in fact for many its more like pipe or cigar smoking (mouth only or mouth and nose only, they're not inhaling to their lungs).

but you're right I might get the whole mouth,lung.nose art going one day, but for now I'm just really happy I at least figured out how to go mouth-to-nose (I'm no longer having to 'do nose hits' or french inhale to get there)

I thought it was really interesting to see this thread where somebody else seemed to be having exactly the same problem and almost said it word for word the way I would have (or maybe even did somewhere)

Because I had the exact same problem I for one don't think he's trolling, I think the question was sincere (I think its just probably not the most common vaping problem)


EDITED to add.. the more I think about it, if all of my PVs are low quality (and they might well be).. and if I've never seen a good one then that might have more to do with my failure to go mouth-lungs-nose than I give credit.. but It seems I can make as much vapor as people on YouTube (for the most part anyway) if I just blow it back out the way they do, so I also still think its also 'just me' as well (maybe a combination of the two).

I'm still okay with at least having mouth-to-nose working

the e-liquid I am working on is still my bottle of JC's original, so I know its not stealth juice.

When I was doing that I took the top of a vick's type inhaler (sorta like a 'smelling salt' thing) and put it over the mouthpiece (not just for the reason you said, but because it was also loads more 'nose-friendly') :)

So I just took a bunch of vapor into my mouth only and found it VERY hard to blow out of my nose and not have vapor come out, but I was able to do it.

Funny that my natural nose exhale is exactly opposite of yours, I guess...haha.

Yep, I think I have a theory developing on this that maybe its connected to the same reason that some people snore and some don't, some people have 'big adenoids' or whatever, some have to wear nose plugs in water some don't etc, and afterall, the parts we're using aren't very far behind our faces (which are pretty unique from one another etc) too.

If we had an ENT (ear nose and throat doctor) in here, they could probably explain to us just why.

In your bushes, watching you undress
Just a few easy steps.

Inhale deeply.

Close mouth tightly.

Exhale with mouth closed.

In the event that any vapor escapes from your rectum instead of your nose, take your free hand, extend your thumb, thrust it violently into your anus. This should sufficiently plug up the orifice leaving the vapor no other place to escape but through your nostrils.

Happy vaping.
