Is It okay/safe to inhale Vape?

[shazyzen]

G'day fellow Vaper's,

I'm new to vaping- one week & 1 day & I love it heaps. Consequently, I'm also analogue free (Yeah!), after 17 years of smoking 15 thinly rolled Rollie's per day. Anyhow, I just want to know if it's okay to inhale the Vape. I try not to inhale- as I've read here that the correct way to Vape is not to inhale but to just draw the Vape into the mouth for a few seconds & then to exhale. But I find it hard not to inhale the Vape a lot of the time.

It's certainly a conundrum for me at this stage... I feel a lot of what I'm experiencing is psychological & that my brain & body is so used to inhaling (being an ex smoker for just a week) thus the want to inhale the Vape. I suppose this desire to inhale the Vape is a by product of my former ritual/habit of smoking. I do understand that vaping is a whole new experience & different from smoking in lots of ways. But it is also very familiar & similar to smoking. And I do want to Vape correctly.

Overall however, I do feel fabulous after quitting smoking & most of the time I never even think of analogues. I simply love vaping & I don't Vape a lot now compared to the first 5-6 days after quitting. I feel after 7 days of not smoking analogues, one is more or less an ex-smoker... Can anyone share there stories re: a) when you finally felt like an ex smoker & b) inhaling/exhaling Vape & Cerrect Vaping techniques.

Thank you kindly & Happy Vaping, Shazyzen.

Yes you can. No harm no foul. You don't absorb nic that way. But will still get the hit from throat and nose. Vape on

YES - inhale itl! I believe you absorb the most nicotine through your mouth and tongue, but you can certainly inhale - I do!

My guess is that about 99% of the millions of vapers world wide, inhale. Every vaper I know does and without a problem.

 

[juceybrucey]

Same here.

Just don't inhale at dusk, never at dusk

no really, I inhale - I only think politicians refuse to admit to inhaling anything (except in Canada)

the correct way to vape is a long (3-7 second) gentle draw, remember that the battery is heating a coil to vaporize the liquid and you do not need to draw hard to stoke up the heat like you do with a regular cigarette, exhaling through the nose will actually give you more of the flavor notes in your eliquid

Thank you guys so much. Quick replies- cool. I thought it seemed fine to inhale; its just that I read here in a post re: "correct way to Vape" was not to inhale. Well I reckon its fine to inhale too. I love the clouds I see when I blow out my nose after slightly inhaling. Awesome. I sure am learning a lot here. Love ECF!!! Vape on!

Millions- Wow. I never knew. Learning more everyday. cheers wv2win.

If that was the case, we'd all in trouble!!!!!!!
a) I finally felt like an ex-smoker after about 15 minutes. It was immediate for me.
b) I inhale, I don't inhale. Makes no difference as long as I'm getting my nic.
BTW: You do not need to inhale to get the nic. You are getting it through your mouth, nose, etc..

I vape the same way I smoked.

Cheers Dakota Jim " long... gentle draw" I shall try that. I think I've been drawing too fast.

And LoL re: "dusk". Watch out for those bats. We have really big Bats (wing span often 2 meters) in Melbourne. They are quite a sight to see in Australia. They're awesome. A huge Bat gave me a fright once after flying out of my Fig tree. But I loved watching him swoop overhead... At dusk I come alive... LOL, nah, I love dusk. Twilight at the moment is a long & lingering affair in Aus'... as we're in the height of Summer & the dusk is still hanging in there at 9pm. Lovely Blue Skies here today (Its 3pm now).

I like your Name Dakota Jim & your pic of Riff Raff. I watched Rocky Horror just the other day. Happy New Year & Happy Vaping!

I'd be in trouble if inhaling did harm. Not only am I not having any health issues, I have less then I did smoking. By this time of year, I'd have had bronchitis at least once. This year, a cold was just a cold. Over it quickly.

Sorry guys, I didn't mean to sound alarming re: "Is it okay/safe to inhale". I just don't know much yet as I'm a newbie. I shouldn't have used the word Safe- doh!. It wasn't my intention to sound alarming as I love Vaping & ECF. All you guys should be so proud that you have quit smoking. I'm wrapped it's okay to inhale- as I like to inhale most of the time too.

Congrats omyeyes on your immediate success & thanks for your thoughts on Vaping Techniques. And LOL to the posts about politicians.

I'm going now to & make a cuppa (tea) & sit in the sun under my gum tree & read & well... Vape.

LOVE your country shazyzen!! Melbourne, Sydney & Perth. Can't wait to go back!!!!
What does your name translate to??

Cheers Omyeyes. I'd love to see your country one day. I want to do a road trip with my Dad from the North East (starting in Boston) down to the Mississippi & Alabama... then to fly to Las Vegas & then Cruise up to San Francisco. I want to see Oregon & Chicago also. I'm a big fan of American culture. American's seem really friendly & intelligent & open-minded.... And you make the best movies & TV shows & clothes etc. I love my Levi's...

Anyhow, My name Shazyzen is short for Shazy & Zen Shazy is my nick name, short for Sharon. And Zen- as in Zen Buddhism (not that I'm a Buddhist). I just believe in Zen philosophies re: calming the mind & being still in a hectic world; yin & yang; self-awareness; and being thoughtful of ones behavior & interactions in the world etc.

Also, I appreciate Nature & the cycles of the seasons & the moon, tides etc. I love the water- rivers & beaches... I love trees, animals & birds & I feel all living creatures are interconnected. But overall I have taken the word Zen from my beloved 14 year old black Labrador cross Border Collie- whose name is Zenna. Hope you don't mind my rambling on. Its hard for me to sum up my appreciation of the word Zen - LoL, no seriously it's my fave' word.

And does 'omeyeyes" have a translation? Happy New Year & Happy Vaping.

P.S: Sorry to waffle on...

Know everybody have you heard, that the VAPE's the word:

I "felt" like an exsmoker when I quit carrying a lighter in my pocket. I had been doing that for 30 years when I started vaping. It was a routine. Keys..check. Bilfold..check..lighter..check.
