Is this normal?

[Jovey]

Well this is my first post outside the "New Member Forum", so be gentle with me! Since i started vaping, i've wondered if others do this or if it's something i just find pleasure in OR if my Mod will eventually blow my face off....so here goes.

Does anyone else take like a short primer puff and then a long draw before inhaling? I've tried just taking one long draw off my nautilus mini (air flow wide open) and it just doesn't give me the flavor and throat hit that i enjoy.

So i'm guessing this will probably cause my battery to need charging more because i'm holding down the button longer than most, but am i risking damaging anything or catching my hair on fire??? Kiddin' on the "hair on fire" part!

But yeah, was just curious if this is normal....not that i care cuz i'm gonna keep doing it *lol* I just know i go through a bottle of 15mL ejuice pretty quick and my ADV is soooooo NOT cheap!!

Yeah I do that sometimes and then sometimes I won't. Juice and your setup is finicky when it comes to taste. Closing the airflow a tiny bit can help with taste but so many factors go into taste. Too long to list.

No you're not going to damage anything or catch on fire.

 

[Zazoie]

hahaha Ky Girl you had me taking primer puffs for the last couple minutes....dang you

 

[stevegmu]

That's how I vape. Prime the coil before a long, deep draw...

 

[Jovey]

Awesome news....thanks Zazoie! Didn't know that about the airflow...will try that out, thank you!


Thanks Stevegmu! I was worried more about it damaging the battery, but now i can relax on that issue.

No won't damage the battery. It's also good for taking a second breath after the primer puff to get a long, deep hit...

 

[Jovey]

Oops sorry Zazoie....haha But doesn't it taste better?!!

 

[Robino1]

That primer puff also gets your coil up to the temp to vaporize the liquid
Ever watch the reviewers? They prime too

 

[Jovey]

Robino1, the reviewers? Don't watch tv a whole lot, is that a new show or a forum here?

Welcome to the rest of ECF Ky Girl! We are always gentle ... well mostly ... oh heck, never mind

Yup, I do that too. The primer puff gets things warmed up and also allows me to get the flavor thing started. The main puff is the payoff round

So i'm guessing this will probably cause my battery to need charging more because i'm holding down the button longer than most, but am i risking damaging anything or catching my hair on fire??? Kiddin' on the "hair on fire" part!

Yes, it is more drain on your batts, but if doing this causes you to take a few less main puffs per hour, it could be a wash. IMO there is no safety issue with doing this.

I just know i go through a bottle of 15mL ejuice pretty quick and my ADV is soooooo NOT cheap!!

Check out the DIY sub-forum. I've been making my own juices for a couple of years now and it really saves money. And I have full control over my juices which is also really nice

 

[stevegmu]

I started primer puffs after watching a P. Busardo YouTube vid...

 

[BOX MOD LYFE]

Ya, primer puff are fine. A majority of the mods have a cutoff for how long they can be held down, probably in the 10-20 sec range, mostly 10. The MVP 2.0 is 10 seconds. I'm pretty sure the clearo would die before the battery in this scenario.

Ryedan, as far as it keeping me from chain vaping....nope, i'mma chainin' it lol But then again, i'm new still...so hoping i can back off a bit soon. But yeah, i'm already looking into the DIY thing, but i gotta find a good clone recipe for Jon Wayne by Uncle Junk's....that's the only ejuice so far that i love! And thank you for the welcome!

Steve, will have to check out youtube soon....i'm sure i'll find a lot of good info there also! Right now, i've been glued to ECF! lol

Box Mod Lyfe, yeah i think mine has 10 second shut off....which is a great feature i think.

 

[GreekDude1821]

I realized I do this a lot because I also did the non inhale draws while smoking. As for the air flow I found that most juiced that I have 50vg up to 70 vg i use the second largest opening but if I got higher vg it gargles so I restrict the air the next smallest port. The smallest port is too restrictive no matter what I fill it with.

 

[Jovey]

GreekDude, yeah i'm gonna experiment around with the air flow thing...i actually thought i may have to start ordering a higher PG level because i'm more into the throat hit rather than the volume of vapor.


edit: actually just moved it to the second largest air hole and my ejuice can be tasted a lot better!!

I smoked for 37 years and I used to chain vape when needed to get through cigarette pangs. All that mattered at that point was not smoking and it worked. These days I can go a day without vaping and it's not a problem.

But yeah, i'm already looking into the DIY thing, but i gotta find a good clone recipe for Jon Wayne by Uncle Junk's....that's the only ejuice so far that i love! And thank you for the welcome!

You're welcome

You know, I used to like vaping coffee's, strawberry daiquiri and a few others. Since I've gone DIY I have my own recipes that have no known resemblance to anything I ever found in ready mixed juice. Lately I've gotten pretty boring in sticking mostly to one recipe that I really like with another for backup. The sky's really the only limit once you take control of your vape.

 

[Jovey]

Ryedan, you smoked just about as long as i did. But yeah, i think that's why i chain vape, to curb those smoking urges....which i pray goes away SOON! But as far as the DIY, i think making your own will taste better...plus, if a flavor needs added etc....you can tweek it.

 

[cocacola31173]

I have always been a double puffer! I take in one short draw that I don't inhale and and then I take another that I do...I think its because I started with the V2 cigalikes and you had to do it that way.

 

[Bigflyrodder]

Yes, always prime puff when I vape for reasons listed above.

Robino1, the reviewers? Don't watch tv a whole lot, is that a new show or a forum here?

Reviewers as in PBrusardo, Grim Green etc.
They review devices on YouTube.

Don't worry, you will understand all of this in time. I remember how confusing it all was when I started out

When you do watch a video review done by PBrusardo, you will notice his primer puff. You can't miss it
