How do you not direct-inhale?

[Nilius]

When I drink I hold it in my mouth before swallowing too even without a straw.

Wow, I've never even thought about it (until I read this post). I do the exact same thing... and I don't know how to direct inhale... I just can't do it

I always thought, when I smoked analogs, that everyone direct inhaled. I Only learned this information once I got on this forum. It's funny how we all learned to smoke or vape in our own way.

Tropical Bob, Trog, and I had almost this exact conversation over a year ago.

Trog advanced the theory that people, like me, who always direct inhaled our cigs first learned to smoke "other substances" before smoking cigs. I could not refute that from my own experience.

Curiouser and curiouser. Things one can learn here.

And you look like such a nice young man in your videos

Leaford, that was what I wanted to say but was being coy in deference to the delicate politics of it all.

But I can't imagine smoking tobacco, or vaping, in the style appropriate for "other substances". I'd choke to death.

Sooo confusing, I'm trying these things and they won't work. I still can only mouth inhale for like 2 seconds, it kind of makes the neck part by my chin hurt, like it's straining the muscle trying to do it. Guess I'll have to stick with direct-inhaling.

If your neck muscles are tensing up your lower jaw is too far forward. This results in your palate being pulled down which greatly decreases room to store vapour in your mouth before inhaling.

You shouldn't be using your neck muscles for the pull, you should actually be using you mid to lower back muscles and your front stomach/abdominal muscles should remain stationary through the pull. Make sure your upper palate is extended and pull the vapour over your tongue too hit the top part of your throat. This is a very similar technique to the difference of singing in your head voice (mouth hit) compared to singing in your chest voice (lung hit).

I can do both with vapour and smoke, but I've always prefered a mouth hit because lung hits seems to kill alot of the flavour for me. However when I want mega TH hit I will direct inhale. When I did smoke cigarettes I did mostly lung hits/direct inhale.

I can confirm this theory on 3 counts.

Hmmmm....I'm not gonna say a word.

Start off with a direct inhale and cut it off mid way, continue inhaling in the mouth collecting strong vapor for that good throat hit. Good luck, happy vaping.

Tried this and it worked great! I just direct inhale til my lungs feel full and kinda tingly, then do my 2-3 mouth inhale, then take that into my lungs. Gives me a very nice vapor and TH with my 36mg menthol.

(BTW, Marlboro red 100's direct inhaler here)

Really? The same could be said of people who DON'T direct inhale first learned to smoke "other substances" before smoking cits, based on MY own experience! lol Man, talk about coughing up a lung! Weed always made me hack unless I held it in my mouth a few secs before inhaling. I suspect that is why I never direct inhale... old habits!

actually, that's almost exactly how i vape, but wasn't how i smoked. and by "that's" i mean nothing at all. *sketches halo above own head*

I can't direct inhale and never could chug a beer either.
