I always draw into my mouth first (but I did that when I smoked, as well). I guess I draw on it for maybe 6 seconds or so, then inhale. I still get a great TH with 12mg nic (usually, but I do have one 18mg) and all VG juice.
How long do you inhale when you vape?

never really noticed until i came across your thread. i guess i switch it up from inhaling straight to the lungs and then on the next drag i let the vapor fill up in my mouth and inhale a little right before the exhale. now i'm wondering if this particular process was similar to when i smoked analogs. good thread.
Depends on the device and the juice. On the Evic with 1.8 ohm vivi Nova and 24mg - usually about 5 seconds.
I normally draw vapor into my mouth and then inhale. Draws last between 3 and 8 seconds depending on juice delivery system, juice and how I feel at the time. Sometimes I draw directly into my lungs which gives me more TH and vapor, but less flavor. That can be great when I'm drinking. I've found that 70/30 pg/vg will irritate my throat so I vape 50/50 and that's solved. I'm also down to about 3 mg nic which reduces TH and maybe throat irritation but not sure about that.
The only right way is the one that works for you. Experiment and vape on

.........................................Hey man !.
I take a 2 or 3 second draw then inhale, then instantly take another draw until the light flashes. It's how i've always done it !.

same as when i smoke a cig, couple seconds or until i feel like "im good." i dont pay attention to the flavor... just like the habit of it

Observation: I tend to like taking a longer slower drag with some flavors, shorter faster drag with others. It's all subjective.
Statement: I typically take a short drag, inhale immediately, exhale through the nose while taking another pull. On some flavors that can cause the taste of the flavor to increase dramatically for either the better or the worse (menthols come to mind more for rapid-gaining flavors).

3 or 4 second draw and inhale. I immediately exhale. Frequently, I will draw and inhale shallowly, just enough so that I can exhale through my nose without drawing it into my lungs. I get more of a nic hit doing that than inhaling into the lungs. Reports say that most of the nic we inhale is absorbed through the mucous membranes and not by the lungs. PG/VG droplets are supposedly too large to make it into the alveoli inside the lungs. You DO get a PG/VG retention in the lungs. Some of that is brought back up by cilia and absorbed my mucous membranes or ejected. I suppose some is absorbed, but not as much as that absorbed by the mucous membranes of the mouth, throat, and sinuses.
When we smoked, tiny microscopic particles of nicotine coated ash (which is what smoke is made of) actually could make it into the alveoli and transfer the nic to our bloodstreams.

My advice is to not pull hard like you did when you were smoking, just apply enough negative pressure inside your mouth to allow the atomizer to fill your mouth full with vapor, 2-4 seconds, then do a throat inhale slowly and exhale slowly to savor the flavor.
Since there is no acrid smoke burning your tongue and throat, you can take your time about it and enjoy the process, when filling the mouth with vapor, allow the tip of your tongue to be just about touching the tip to get the full flavor, (something you could never do with cigarettes, it would fry your tongue!)

Anywhere from 4 to 10 seconds (when I need a little extra oomph I vape till my PV times out, which is around 10 secs)
I had to learn to inhale my Volts...comes from never properly inhaling an analog all the years that I smoked. The sucking on a straw technique works for me. I estimate I inhale now 5-6 seconds, then exhale through my nose and mouth.
