inhaling technique and taste? 901 users?

[Flitzanu]

you know, i should have this down by now....

just curious from you 901 users out there how you puff your vapor.

i find that if i throat inhale, i often get a burnt, nasty taste that really burns the lungs, but if i mouth inhale, i get the full taste and no nasty aftertaste or burnt harshness.

i really haven't thought much about it, but anyone else play around with that?

edit: i primarily mouth inhale now. only reason it's curious is that you can only pull so much with your mouth, so some of these people that are getting huge throat hits must be doing something to avoid this nasty taste!

i'm wondering if the throat inhale is heating up the polyfill in the carts or something and making it just taste horrible, like, it really burns the lungs. not like a normal throat hit, but much nastier and more painful.

I mouth inhale...just like I did with analogs. I like it just fine

Me too, I mostly mouth inhale. But when I want a bigger vape i will sometimes start with mouth inhale and top it off with a lung inhale for an extra jolt

I also mouth-inhaled the analogs, and now mouth-inhale the e-cig. I recently lung-inhaled the e-cig to see if it would produce more vapor, but discovered it produced an irritating throat burn instead. Learned my lesson.

Uncle Bill - Checked out your site - looks nice!

I mouth inhale, but I get a good throat hit, too. I can't inhale it like I did an analog, tho. I know it might sound a little weird and it appears that the way I do it looks a little weird.

I was at a regular hang-out today - where everybody knows your name ~ - when one guy started picking on me about how I looked. He said I looked like I was smoking a pipe. Now, he knows that I have this gadget and he is a bit of a jokester, but I did realize that my "vaping technique" must appear rather strange to others.

I put the cart behind my front teeth, inhale and the vapor runs along the roof of my mouth. My 901 is almost completely up and down ~ never get juice in my mouth, usually have a very good, consistent hit. Very, very good technique for me!

i also find that longer hits on the 901 heat it up and create that burnt taste - i try to keep the liquid topped off, then a quick primer, then mouth to lungs - repeat

so far seems to be the consensus to mouth inhale. just had a friend try it last night and he got that horrid burnt taste and coughed up a lung, heh, at least he admitted "nothing" has made him choke in a long time...but sadly that was just a mistake

i try to explain to people to sorta puff like a cigar, seems to help with newbs.

thanks for the input so far!

I'll explain it like I have to friends when they try mine - I take a longer, slower drag on my e-cig than on an analog. Sometimes, a little quick drag is needed at first to really get the atty going, but not terribly often. I inhale the vapor into my mouth, then into my lungs.This technique seems to work best for me.

I'll tell what I have been doing differently though...just noticed it this morning. I seem to particularly like to exhale through my nose and I never did that with analogs. It's not that I taste the juice better, but I really like to see the twin clouds of vapor coming out...which I think is sort of weird...heh

Thats exactly the way I vape!

 

[gothictango]

I mouth inhale or else I'll cough. But I love to suck in a good bit of vapor into my mouth then take it down into my lungs. Mmm...

With analogs I take much smaller drags and also let a bit of smoke escape after the drag before inhaling deeply. But I'm almost off analogs now anyway.

I mouth inhale like the analogs but... I don't keep the vapor in as long and the exhale is a tad bit slower. I think a good reference also would be to watch the ecig video reviews that some forum members give.

LMAO, I do that too, just because I can and it looks cool. I have noticed it does seem to enhance the flavor on some juices though. I could never nose exhale with analogs - it would burn like crazy.
