Hi all, can anyone explain to me regards to the ratio? what does it mean 90/10 or 60/40 and also what does pg means? I'm relatively new here. Many thanks and Happy new year to all :)
pg/vg are what the liquid is basically made of and the numbers lik 50/50 means 50% pg and 50%vg i believe that is what it means

I can blow clouds now! If at first you don't succeed try something different. I started with CE4 and Mt Baker Vapor but couldn't blow clouds. I bought some CE3s to sample Alice in Vapeland now I can blow clouds!. All on an eGo. I got a VAMO today as well but haven't tried it yet.

The combo of high humidity and high VG is the best way to fog up a room. Compare it to when you go outside on a high humidity low temp day in the winter. When you exhale you can see your breath. Same principal (SP?). If the mirrors in your bathroom fog up after a shower then take a drag off your ecig and exhale. It magnifies the vapor a lot.

Probably because my lungs are shot from smoking 3 packs a day of analogs. I can't take one super long inhale. I have to take 3 bursts into my mostly my mouth then inhale it my lungs.

There really is no real Right or Wrong way to vape.

I think though, that the Best Way is Any way that keeps you from Smoking a Real Cigarette. ;)

There's a writeup somewhere that explains the difference in inhaling. You're supposed to inhale between 3-8 secs in your mouth, and then inhale that into your lungs, instead of lung inhaling with logs.

When I hold the vapor in my mouth before inhaling it feels way to hot on my throat. I guess I prefer a cooler throat hit. I like taking smaller hit but multiple and blow some through the nose. Is there a set up that favors cooler versus warmer vapor?

I am so glad that I found this thread today! Since last night I thought that I was a crazy person and didn't know how to vape/inhale correctly. I always draw the vapor into my mouth first and then inhale it into my lungs after, but I was watching videos and noticed other people seemed to inhale directly into their lungs so then I went and stared at my husband while he was vaping (creepy much, yes I know!) to see how he did it and he took puffs the same way by drawing into his lungs directly. So since last night every time I took a puff I have been trying to not hold it in my mouth and just inhale to my lungs but it just wasn't working for me that way. I am trying to think back to how I smoked analogs and if it was the same way but after about 35 days analog free (go me!!!) I can not remember.

Jeapa,

You can use a higher resistance cartomizer to cool down the vapor.

I've always done the mouth-hit, (just like analogs) then inhale since I started vaping. I just (today) got my first upgrade from cigalikes. Got the smoktech ego tank with dual coil carts from Madvapes. So far, so good but didn't seem to produce much vapor on exhale and seemed to be harsher TH.

After reading this thread I've been hitting it directly into my lungs with some air. (Kinda like hitting a doob) ;) WOW! Much more satisfying hit! Cooler, and much more vapor on exhale. This really surprised me. I'm glad I checked out this thread.

Yeah, bottom coil tanks supposedly have cooler hits. I can't say definitively since i've only ever used carts and the kanger listed below, which is bottom coil.
