How to vape?

[lawranceomega]

Hi guys & gals,

Do you guys inhale your vape like a cig or just fill mouth and exhale? The reason why I ask is because I fill my mouth with vape and maybe just inhale a lil bit ...and blow out the vape. Because if I try to directly inhale like a analog = couch,cough, choke. So I'm wonderful how most of you are vaping.

Thx guys ...cant want to see what ya'll are doing =)

That is exactly what I do. It was hard to not directly inhale like I was doing with analogs, but now it seems like 2nd nature.

 

[Thank You]

i do it 3 ways....

at times.. i'll vape directly into my mouth..
at times.. directly into my lungs..
at times.. like a cigar... nice and slow.. yet still inhale lol

I just inhale like I always did a cigarette. I haven't had any issues with the coughing but my daughter does so I guess it varies a lot for different people.

Thx for the fast reply lol .....hmm ok seems i'm doing ok then ....I just wanted to make sure I'm not wasting vape or soething I know it sounds silly. When my friends ask to try I tell them just do as you would an analog ...and of course they cough and choke and think I'm crazy, I notice that I myself don't pull on it exactly like an analog....so I will adjust how I advise an analog user to use an ecig.

i'm still new at this but that's what i find myself doing as well. "mindless" vaping i don't tend to inhale (just enjoy the flavour/smell) and then for nic cravings it's a full on "toke and hold" complete with flashbacks to my youth

hmm what str nic are you fully inhaling....a low nic maybe? Or are my lungs still so bad from analogs that I cant fully inhale 16-24mg nic vape =(.

I hope this thread gets some good attention, because I don't think I've ever asked or seen a post on how to vape lol. I've been vaping on and off for 2 yrs now ...and 6months straight now ...and I'll still learning. But I will say I breathe better and as long as I always have a nice glass off water or something to drink I can chain vape happily without any wierd side effects that I get if I don't drink while vaping

I do it like an analog -- pull the vapor into my mouth, remove ecig from lips, inhale into lungs.

Only with the ecig I pull a lot longer before removing it from my lips. As opposed to the quick hard pull of an analog before inhalation. The coughing you are experiencing could just be the juice. One of my first juice purchases would make me cough and irritated my throat if I took big hits.


Also, LOL @ "toke & hold"


Edit: juice of choice right now is 20mg. No prob. But last night was trying 18 from another supplier, in a different hardware setup, and caused some coughing.

 

[Thank You]

i use 24mg if that helps any

I fill my mouth with vapor first then inhale. I think I enjoy the flavor more that way and I like to protect my lungs from those times where something nasty burns. It's kind of a safety check before contaminating and burning my lungs.

hmm could be the juice .... I have been using bluemist juice for last 6 months ...great prices... I may need to bite the bullet and get more expensive/quality juice =/ or learn how to DYI =/

Inhale like a cig after a long draw. If you have quit smoking recently vaping may be a little harsh at first but I assure you it gets better. When you quit smoking you generally cough up a bit of mucus during recovery. When you start vaping you are going though a process where your cilia and stuff are growing back in your larynx which may make it a little more sensitive at first and generally vaping brings up more phlegm than smoking because its not a bunch of tar sticking in your lung tissue down there. Vape however you feel comfortable and do what feels natural. whatever works for you and keeps you off cigs is good enough.

go to the vendor section.. might seem overwhelming at first.. but eventually you'll find a great deal to dabble with.

I started at 36mg but now use mostly 18-24mg and more often lately cutting to 12mg just because frankly I chain vape and can overdo the Nic buzz if I am not careful. I never really had an issue with it even at 36mg though. You can also try just drawing it in and exhale through your nose without inhaling into the lungs. The mucous membranes actually absorb the nic better than the lungs and you can get a better idea of the flavor that way.

Turn the voltage down!

I vape with a long easy draw into my mouth, and then inhale. Like i was smoking a good pipe.
This is also why I like an atty with a little stiffer draw. (it only feels stiff if I'm drawing to hard)

 

[Kilroy]

A lung hit still sends me into coughing fits, but I think it did with cigs too, been too long to remember. I've read that with PVs the absorption is in the mouth and throat rather than the lungs. Don't know if that's true, but I read it somewhere.

 

[SnakeFarm]

Two ways. At work, I tend to vape in "cigarette" mode, big draw into mouth, deep inhale. pause, exhale. Little if any vapor escapes. At home I generally vape in "pipe" mode, big draw into mouth, let it leak out slowly while incidentally inhaling a small amount by nose. Weird part is, pipe mode seems to satisfy me quicker. I keep right on vapeing, but I'm satisfied.

I notice that my nostrils get moist when vapeing pipe-style. At first, I thought the clove was making my nose runny, but then I noticed that the moisture was accumulating from the outside.

Sorry if that's TMI.

^i noticed it too! i thought my nose was running as well.

but the "accumulation from the outside" makes sense.... when i blow vapor straight down outta my mouth, i notice my goatee gets a bit wet. same thing must be happening to the inside of our nostrils
