Depends. Sometimes I like a good long lung hit. With some flavors (root beer for example) I get more flavor from a lung hit. For normal vaping I just inhale into my mouth, wait a few seconds, and then take it into my lungs.

A good long lung hit off an RBA in the morning really gets me jumpstarted. I can really feel the nic (even at 6mg).

slow draw into the mouth, hold a few seconds then inhale, exhale through the nose.

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.

Just curious what's you're inhale technique... Straight pull to lungs or pull in mouth then inhale? Mine is the later...

I wanted to ask the exact same thing :) but now that you allready did ill just answer i do the second option when i do direct lung hits i never know how mutch i inhaled and sometimes i get a monster throat hit that is not nice :)

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.

I was the same way...I didn't realize either. Then I found out my parents inhale directly into their lungs when I got them to try vaping. It choked both of them. I showed my mother the other way and it must be a hard habit to break cause she didn't try to vape for long. My father wouldn't even attempt it again after the first time.

Yep - that's how I smoked, although many smokers apparently do inhale direct to the lungs. For sure, most vapers do a mouth inhale first - although it might take them a couple of days to work that out, if they are isolated from advice. A direct lung inhale with an ecig causes most newbs to choke and cough (even when they are heavy smokers). It's how they rig bent research trials that try and show ecig use is 'damaging to the lungs' - they get newbs and don't tell them how to use an ecig, so they choke up, then their 'reduced lung efficiency' spirometry results can be shown as a demonstration of how dangerous ecigs are :)

Mind you I was told by a researcher in Italy that vapers there tend to use a direct lung inhale, so maybe people there have got asbestos lungs or something.
