Is this what it's supposed to be like?

[cailin]

I got my first e-cigarette last night. It's a penstyle generic from ePuffer. I charged it overnight and used it for the first time this morning with a high mint cartridge.

So, when I inhale it doesn't feel like anything? It just feels like sucking in air. There's vapour when I exhale, which surprised me. It really felt like I was only getting air.

Is this the way it's supposed to be? Do I need a stronger cartridge? This "high" is 18 -- would 24 be better? Or am I doing something else wrong?

I've been lurking on here for a few weeks picking up tips from you all. Any help you can provide is appreciated!

Try some double inhales every once in awhile, this will give a bit stronger 'hit' to throat- I don't know how you inhale, whether straight inhale, or puffing into mouth first and hten ingaling? If the latter, then the actual inhale will be less strong- try a straight inhale, but start out small as it may be too strong and make uoy caugh

What tobacco cigarettes are you smoking? I have started with High Cartridge myself, but now I’m down to Mild. With E-Cigarettes you have to draw longer and slowly. It will take you a few days to get used to it.

OK, I just tried doing the straight inhale and got WAY more vapour. The double inhale works pretty well too. Thank you for helping the newb!

Off to make a new post about another issue.

A quick update:

I got the hang of it! A fresh battery and new cartridge make all the difference too. Hooray!
