How do you smoke e-cigs

[DaveP]

You've gotten good answers. We differentiate smoking and vaping terminology just to show that it's a different way to get the nicotine without all the harmful chemicals in cigarette smoke. ecig vapor is a whole different world from smoking.

Vapor - the fog that rises from using an ecig.

Vaper - the person who uses the ecig.

Smoker - someone who hasn't yet discovered the wonderful world of vaping.

I read the sticky.

It basically explained how to do it. Some of the science, and the way it works.

I do a little half puff, as a draw through while the coils firing up. Just a mouth hit. Then take a real hit hold it a second then inhale. If you are doing it to replicate / quash a smoking urge. You should get both an effective (nic delivery) and felt hit that way. When I was using the little e-cig clone nothing worked. Didn't make any difference for me how I hit it. There was just no felt hit. So it didn't feel like anything was happening. Which is about when the panic sets in. And you hit it harder, and it's less effective.

When I read it's more like a cigar, the lightbulb went on. Made much more sense.

So I got some new equipment and a liquid that offered more felt hit if I just inhaled directly like I would if I was irritated and smoking to drop my stress level. Hit it as hard as you like then. Then switch to more of a mouth hold to get the delivery going.

Which seems to be working for me. I'm a newb tho. So my advice comes with a warning label. FYI.

You might want to edit your post before a Mod comes along. Referring to illegal substances is against the rules... just say "unmentionable substance" instead of the "J" word that might be picked up by scanners. Might sound picky but its not.... protects the forum.

Most of the nic is absorbed in the mouth and/or nose so inhaling isn't even necessary. And, btw, its "vape" not "smoke."

Welcome to ECF, congratulations on taking the plunge and have fun learning about this new healthier world you've chosen.

Thanks for the heads up. (Celtcluvr too..)

On my second day, still no analogs though there was a strong craving this morning. I just ignored it so things are gong well! And thank you for the welcome!
