Lung hits...Do people just get used to it?

[Rezyuz]

As im trying out my new Atlantis clearomizer, off the bat i noticed the HUGE drip tip, and massive airflow this thing has. (i have never smoked an rda/RTA btw). And no matter how hard i try, doing mouth to lung hit is just....nearly impossible . It produces no vapor at all, and because of the huge mouth piece and airflow its so hard. Then i looked up more rda's and popular ones also have such huge mouth pieces to hit and most ppl i see on youtube with an RDA take lung hits.

But when i take a lung hit dear god i can take like a 2 sec drag and start coughing for the next minute.

So the question basically is...clearomizers/RDA with huge airflow are they really meant for direct lung hits? And when people, like me, struggle taking a lung hit does it just take commitment (like vaping the first time, major coughs and it just becomes normal) before it goes normal?

Because atm my Aspire Atlantis looks absolutely useless to me while i looked so forward to using it.

If you've never used anything remotely as open as the Atlantis, then yeah, its going to be really hard to vape with. Mostly because its producing way more vapor than your used to and you're getting hit with way more nicotine than your used to on every draw.

Try lowering the nicotine levels.

My first lung hit was like a punch in the face.

Now, 5-6 second lung hits are my norm. I can barely even do a mouth to lung. So yes, you will get used to it.

Using the lowest i can find of my juices 6m already dropped from 12ml

Good to know, cuz i do actually like the feeling of a lung hit more. But the cough is whats holding me back. (and the lung feeling, like you just woke up and its all sensitive)

But do you still smoke as much with full lung hits? Like do you vape for a long period of time (20+ drags) all lung hits?

 

[Malarky]

Yup, I still take 10-15 good lung hits... Before I drip again and do another 10-15. I was on 12mg nic like you, then I took an arrow to the knee and am down to 3mg. Even 6mg is too harsh for me on my dripper.

"In a word ... yes.

In two words ... yes, Sir."

Ease into it... First thing in the morning I valve a little air around the drip tip while inhaling....after a few hits it's game on

Valving a little air in around the edges will let you choose how dense the vape is. As you get used to it you can let 'er rip.

 

[Rezyuz]

Yeah im just taking taking 2-3 sec hits atm (although no vapor really comes during the first sec) and at 3 its just a huge blow that hits my throat/lung. Im just gonna keep it up to the acceptable point for me and see where it goes.

I was just wondering if lung hits was equally safe, and achievable by everyone after getting used to it.

Lung hits on my Subtank kick my .... 12mg and 6mg on that thing on lung hits are rough. I'm trying to overcome it. Vape problems...

Vape as you like - that's one of the coolest things about the scene.

Direct lung hits might never be your thing, but good for you for trying. Ease into it, as others have advised, and as you've heard, it's perfectly normal to feel the DL vape is much more intense. The Atlantis has afc, so use it. Try it set low and adjust it as you like. Also, try some lower nic juice - many folks who started on 18 or 24 mg are down to 3 through DL vaping (and the lower ohm setups like the Atlantis has).

Short hits. Long hits. Frequent hits. Mouth to lung. Direct lung. It's all good.

There is nothing better than a long inhale out of an RDA straight to the lungs in the morning with a coffee.

 

[Plooom]

It takes a little getting used to. What nic are you using. The more vapor typically for me the lower the nic. I would probably do a 6 on an Atlantis just like I do on my rda

 

[coolercoiler]

I remember my first lung hit well , felt like i was drowning in vapour I took a hit of a lads rda at my local b&m when all i had been using was ce4's on an ego, with my eyes watering and coughing i thought that would never be for me.

Just make sure you have the juice budget for it before you fall in love with the clouds. I remember when 10ml lasted me a week, its more like a couple of hours now.

I always did mouth to lung when I smoked and it was weird moving to lung hits with vaping. I did like the new vape experience though and I'm completely used to it now. I can still go back to setups that require mouth hits.

I set up my rda's so they make almost instant vapor. I find at 30'ish watts, two to three second drags are good for me kinda like with smoking. Mostly I vape zero nic, but when I vape nic it's about 2 mg. When I was vaping nic all the time I liked around 5 mg at 30 watts.

IMO, shorten your drags and then lower your nic level until you're comfortable.

All this nic talk and nothing about flavor. The juice I mouth to lung in my kayfun tastes terrible and chokes me out in my rda. I use a completely different flavor for lung hitting my dripper with no issues. Something to consider.

Sounds like my first cig ...

Just goes to show that we are all different. IMO most of the time it's the nic, but that doesn't mean that works for everyone

Sad but true.

That's why I brought it up and said it was just something to consider since it hadn't been mentioned.

I still only do mouth to lung and Ive been at this 6 years. I'm satisfied, Do what makes you feel good. .
