Inhalation technique

[the mechanic]

How deep do you inhale the vapor. Is there a right way to inhale to get the most nic. out of the vapor. My inhales are very shallow. how about you?.

I've heard this is the best way to get the most out of you nic: Inhalation technique with an e-cigarette

However, I'm a "lung inhaler" and vape very low (sometimes 0mg) levels of nic and love a 5-6 second draw.

I usually just go with a quick inhale although pretty deep but not to the point where the vapor production decreases. I always do a ghost inhale for no good reason just because that's what I'm used to.

Thanks for that info! I have been vaping about 2 years and didn't know all of that........ maybe I will vape differently from now on.

Even when I smoked analogs, I was a mouth inhaler. Something about it makes me feel more "in control" and it was generally more comfortable for me to do. Naturally, that carried over to vaping. Something about lung inhaling, both with analogs and e-cigs, sends me into a coughing fit.

I noticed someone mentioning ghost inhales, which I find myself doing from time to time when I'm vaping a juice with lower nicotine. Just kind of a nostalgic action.

I have never lung hit from a cigarette A's I can't do it with a mod, either. I have done them otherwise, though.

What is a ghost inhale?

I started with mouth inhales but as I progressed I learned how to lung inhale, made a big difference for me as far as vapor production goes.

I have done lung inhales with... other things... but that's a story best left in my past.

A ghost inhale is a little hard to explain, but Seth demonstrates it well here (though his is a bit more exaggerated than mine)

I don't know if it's just me or not, but I actually like the feeling I get from them because they seem to hit a little harder than plain mouth inhales.

I'm a lung hitter, I love it. When I'm playing around and trying to make a big cloud (granted I'm still on a tank, but it's all for fun) I exhale while leaning forward and take a long lung hit while sitting up in one motion. I usually take the drip tip off when I'm goofing around like that too.

I would say to just experiment and see what you like - Different liquids , air holes/ adjustments , devices , wattage , coil ohms if building.
Whatever adjustments can be made with your setup/s and you will get to know whats comfortable.

I am a lung hitter and use long slow inhales about 5 to 6 Sec.

 

[Maiar]

I use several techniques. If I want a blast of pure flavor I do the just mouth inhale. Most times though I do a slow steady inhale straight into back of the throat where it sits for a bit. I get the best clouds that way. Sometimes I do a deep lung inhale as well. Lowers the visible vapor but feels so good lol. I also find that just holding it in the mouth doesn't get me enough nicotine, so I use the lung inhale for maximum effect. Ghost inhales are fun too. So are blowing rings lol

 

[ReigntheGamer]

Lung hitter as well, long 5-6 second draw and then let it out through my nose and slightly opening my mouth towards the end.

frak, anyway I want it, can vape it. A lot depends one ones gear, watts vaped at, and the wheels on the cart go round and round, kind of thing. I generally puff it multiple times, to keep adequate airflow across/through the coils, for the watts vaped at. pulling into the mouth first. Sometimes do have to take a big ole lung hit though.

Get more flavor and vape satisfaction out of mouth hits, then pulling into lungs, but for maximum nic hit, and knock me on me azz vape, a good lung hit can put me down nicely, or something like that.

Technique is primarily gear related when talking about low watt vaping, to maximize amount of vape, when vape production is not an issue, then it comes down to personal preference and what one most enjoys at the time of vaping. Frak, when congested will do the Jimmy Durante hit, clears up the snoozola every time.
