How do you take drags from your ecig?

[Toker]

A simple crazy sounding question. I've been experimenting a bit with mine this weekend.

If I take a normal drag off it, about 5-10 second drag, there is very little vapor and a dull flavor.

If I take 2 drags off of it, both drags about 5-10 second each and back to back, then I get a very nice warm vapor, nice cloud exhaled, and good flavor.

Conclusion, the longer I hold the button down and get the atty nice and hot, the all around better it is. So would it be bad to hold the button down a few seconds before I start taking my initial drag?

Toker, not a silly question at all. There's a learning curve to ecigs and this seems to be one of the biggest realizations out there.

I wrote a guide for newbies you can see here..

Good luck!

Thank you. I had read that awhile back and thought I was doing it right, but noticed the other day when I took two drags back to back that it was just down right delicious. Following that technique, I was doing it all right, except for holding the button down for a few second before I started inhaling on it. I was just worried that it might over heat the atty if I held it down for a while.

I've even found that differnet attys hit differently... it's an interesting technology

Why waste the first push I do the push button, suck into mouth, into lungs, keep the button pushed while I exhale the first hit through my nose or mouth and suck the second hit into my mouth. Kills battery's, but ohh so good! Very much like smoking a pipe. (which I used to do as well)
This doesn't seem to work so well with standard 901 or 510 battery's, the protection circuity seems to kick in somewhere around the 10 sec. mark, but my eGo and SB have no problems.

You can also puff on it like a pipe, inhaling into mouth but not lungs, hold vapor in mouth a bit then exhaling. I find myself doing this quite often without realising lol

Domino38's advice on the inhilation is spot on, it really helps you get a good throat hit. As for over-heating the atty, don't worry about it too much; if you're melting the tips of the cartridges, consider toning it back a touch.

I suck it into my mouth, then inhale, then blow it out of my mouth.

Yep on a manual, that is the best way, works all the time.

They say you don't have to prime puff the atty with a manual but I do it anyway, it doesn't feel right if I don't take a couple of primer puffs. Maybe I'm crazy

I absolutely have to take those primer puffs every time. I don't care what I'm using, it just doesn't feel right without them. I normally take 2-3 short puffs followed by a slow long drag 8-10 seconds.

The key for me is to not puff to hard, but rather a slow easy drag.
