How do you inhale?

[Alfro]

Initial quick draw to mouth then exhale from nose, to give the coils a good kick start.

At the same time, making a long draw to mouth, then inhale to lungs, then tasty clouds appear lol.

works for me everytime.

see some people inhaled ciggs straight into the lungs. I would die if I did that lol. But I'm starting to do it with some of the lighter vapes and more satisfying!

 

[Snickerfritz]

Pretty much the same as everyone else, but I like to give a quick primer puff before I start my draw, and I like to let off the button just before I finish inhaling to "clear the chamber." I always blow rings, I must blow rings.

When I smoked analogs I would pull directly to my lungs as I didn't know there was any other way to do it. When I switched to ecigs, I smoked them the same way and didn't understand why it wasn't as satisfying and eventually went back to cigarettes. When I tried ecigs again, I found a tute on here about how to draw into the mouth first. Such a world of difference. Haven't been back to analogs since.

Into the mouth, then inhale. More flavour, less harsh.

I agree,but hard to do while driving with the windows open.

A straight lung draw is a waste of juice. The particulate of the vapor is 10x larger than the particulate of smoke (10 micron for vapor vs 1 micron for smoke). As such nicotine absorption through the lungs is much less efficient than smoking, however, using the mucus membranes of the mouth, throat and nasal cavity is much more efficient.

Thank you. This is valuable information for a newb like me on day 15. No offence intended but can you please point me to a third party source of some kind which validates your thoughts. Again, I believe you and it sounds logical but I'm kinda .... so please humor me.

Big part of vaping is savoring the flavor of your juice. Drawing it into your mouth slowly and fully then inhaling and exhaling through the nose and mouth gives me the best taste and throat hit.

i inhale into the mouth for 7 seconds then directly into the lungs for seven seconds then hold it in for a couple of seconds then exhale. seems to work for me .

 

[eratikmind]

Never gave it any thought. Simply did what felt right.

When I first started I did direct lung inhale (like I smoked my cigarettes) it burned my throat and I hated this new "vaping" thing. I finally learned that doing a long slow inhale into the mouth and then the lungs works a lot better.

I do the exact same then either exhale from the mouth or nose- I get different aspects of the flavor depending if it is the nose or mouth.

I've not been able to inhale any juice that I've tried so far, at all. Even if I let 90% of it out my nose first. Even the slightest inhale makes me cough up a lung. It's very frustrating and I'm not being satisfied by vaping, and it's kept me from giving up the smoke.

I really need to figure this out. Other people inhale, why can't I?

 

[lamarrk]

I never inhale directly into my lungs. Pull into my mouth, shallow/semi inhale to my lungs but more of a swallow some vapor then immediately exhale thru my nose. Get lots of flavor that way.

I never thought about it, when I smoke I inhale straight to the lungs, I guess I do the same thing while vaping. Dang it, now I'll have to pay more attention!

LOL Sometimes (although rarely) ignorance is bliss.

I like to do it lots of ways. mouth first then lungs for anything with tighter draw and deep flavor. But when I am using a silica rebuildable with larger air holes, I use lowest nic juice with light flavor and chain straight lung inhales, and fog up a room... this is a real joy. But another technique noone mentioned which I really enjoy is nose hits. That is, no lungs, just nose. You do this by doing a slow mouth draw only, and at the same time you fill your lungs with air through your nose. Then exhale out your nose, while collapsing your mouth (closed) and force the vapor straight out the nose.. I like to do this very slowly so that the vapor saturates my sinuses. This gives an INTENSE nose hit, the most nicotine utilization I know of.

I inhale into my mouth, then into my lungs, the same way I always did with cigarettes. I've smoked for over 40 years and never imagined anyone inhaling any other way until I read about it here. No one I've asked has ever smoked by doing a direct lung inhale.

A friend of mine does a direct lung inhale when he smokes, however I've noticed he's not closed-lipped around his cigarette. He lets a crack open on the side so he takes in air + the actual cigarette in one sweep. I tried it myself and it's an easier method to taking a long hit off of a cigarette if you're not accustomed to the direct strength of it.

I interchange. More times than not, it's a mouth puff and inhale. Sometimes I just do a long lung drag for funsies. Both enjoyable. Different strokes.

That's how I smoke and vape. People say I sound like I'm whistling while I inhale, because of that gap around the tip. And yes, I do inhale straight to my lungs, it's very hard for me to pull vapor into my mouth without inhaling it at the same time. Practice, grasshopper.

Wow, thanks for the nose hit trick. I've never done that one before and it works great!

 

[jeannest]

I don't inhale into my lungs. I pull the vapor into my mouth, enjoy the flavor and blow it out my nose.

 

[Johnnie Price]

I used to do lung hits until I started dripping. Now I only do a full lung inhale immediately after dripping.
