Lung Inhale vs Mouth Inhale

[Nuggit]

I'm new to vaping, and I was wondering about the best ways of getting both flavor and a satisfying vapor. Not too interested in YouTube clouds. Lots of good responses here. I've opened up my tanks, atty heads and the little slots on my batt. Added some more stock sized holes to allow my wicks to absorb well, making them bigger just made it slurpy faster. Got really good flow, but if I draw to my flow, it it's just not that Good. But if I draw nicely, as if it was still restricted, it's vaping at it's best.

I am a lung inhaler. It is how I like to vape. I will exhale some of my vape through my nose to get extra flavor.

I just recently switched to a lung inhale when I got my rda. Before that, mouth inhales with both vaping and smoking.

It's hard for me to inhale straight to the lungs. I always have to take the toot in my mouth and then the lungs. The toot just seems to taste better to me that way.

When I started smoking about 27 years back, I used to lung inhale, but after horrible bouts of dry coughing up at night, I switched to mouth inhale 15 years back. Never had the coughing fit since then. So, mouth inhale for me continues with vaping too.

I have done both ways. What I like to do once in a while is take a slow draw then exhale threw my nose a little bit then inhale threw my nose I keep doing that till the vapor is gone. That way I can taste and smell the draw I just took which enhances my vaping pleasure.

I strictly mouth inhaled when I smoked cigarettes and really never knew there was another way to do it....until I started vaping which has only been since last wednesday

Now I have been only lung inhaling since I've been getting better clouds and flavor. Granted, I don't have a fancy box mod w/ RDA, but I get a decent one with my MVP 2 and Nautilus.

I've been trying to switch to mouth inhales but after 25+ years of inhaling cigs to lungs I'm really finding it difficult. I think the reason I've been chain vaping is because I'm not absorbing enough nicotine by taking lung inhales and blowing it out like a normal cig.

I notice that people have been giving advice to use mouth inhaling instead of lung inhaling. For me I was always a mouth inhaler and I didn't even know lung inhaling was an option. Even when I smoked cigs I would draw the smoke into my mouth first before inhaling. I always thought this was the norm, but apparently the majority of people do lung inhales when smoking cigs. So I was wondering what was your inhaling method when smoking cigs and has it changed since you started vaping?

Waiting on my first ecig but have smoked on and off over the years. Doing some research and came across how to inhale an ecig.
I always took a drag on a paper cig then stopped then breathed in through mouth then exhale. To me that was a lung inhale a mouth inhale was when you smoke a cigar you draw in the smoke and then blow it straight out.

Thanks a lot for this thread and all of the posts.

I had to think back really hard to remember how I inhaled analogs. Mouth to lungs. My first electronic was a cigalike and I had suck on it like it was a milkshake straw, straight to the lungs, until the battery timed out to get ANY satisfaction. Months of that nonsense trained my brain to always lung hit the e-cigs no matter what gear I was using. Fast forward to tonight when I found this thread and realize that I'm taking 4-6 second lung hits on a fresh 18650 mech mod and a Aerotank mini that's opened all the way up. I close the aerotank almost completely down to get a mouth hit to feel right, practiced a few times because my brain kept reverting to lung hit mode, and once I got a mouth hit and inhaled I coughed on a hit 20% as big as the ones I've been taking to the lungs. I thought that was weird. So I took a few more mouth hits and realized that even though the clouds were smaller I was feeling the nicotine more than when I lung hit. The flavor isn't necessarily more intense, but it tastes better. I might be a lung to mouth convert! Well, once I retrain my brain to do it.

All this is to say I've been changing and planning my gear around huge clouds and lung hits and I didn't even know why. Going to keep trying this mouth hit business and may head in a whole new direction when I run out of coils for the Aerotank. Thought I wanted a RBA at ~1ohm but now I'm not sure what to do. Guess I'll keep learning and find out.

I guess I inhale straight into my lungs. I also flood my Nautilus often, I wonder if its because I am used to drawing in too hard?

All of my atties are fitted with 510 wide bore drip tips. The very narrow bore factory DTs on my KFLs are useless.

My RTAs . . . Mouth to lung hit or mouth to lung, followed by direct lung hit.

My RDAs and RDTAs . . . Mouth to lung hits primarily. An occasional quick mouth to lung.

So I've been mouth hitting for a minute now (inhaling after a mouth hit). The clouds are smaller, nicotine is stronger, flavor is better but it feels like I got punched in the chest after nearly drowning. Is this normal? I tried opening my air intake back up, took a few lung hits and it was waaayyy easier on my lungs. This still doesn't make sense to me. Seems backwards. I'm confused but happy to experiment and see if mouth hits start feeling "right". I literally cannot puff without inhaling. I'd die if I were to take up cigars or a pipe because I have to inhale. I've been inhaling for 20 years, I'm not satisfied without it.

The only thing that sort of works is a mouth hit inhaled through my nose but that only works when it's not windy (how many people have to vape outside, please tell me it's not just me). Just wondering if anyone has tried going from lung hits to mouth hits and had the same experience.

Hello, looking forward to reading all the information.

 

[opensec]

That's why my favourite place to vape in is my car, enclosed and windless, so i can mouth inhale, release some vape and nose inhale it, take a second drag, savor it slowly and take the full flavor of the juice, and yes vaping outside is much less enjoyable to me

Can direct lung hit be more hazardous?Although i vape mouth to lung i sometimes try direct lung hits and started to find it more satisfying..

As calvinguy said, mouth inhale is a cigar or pipe smoker habit.
If you want to stop tobacco please don't change your habit, begin with a high level of nicotine (18 is rigth for most of us)

 

[rodeo302]

When I smoked it was mouth to lung nite when vaping when I'm using my mvp with a pnp tank it's the same otherwise I get a dry hit when it's a dripper I do lung hits for cloud since I'm a cloud chaser and absorbing nicotine.

 

[DaveSignal]

I use mech mods and RDAs only. Of course, I only do lung hits with these devices. But lung hits are far superior, anyway. I think there is kind of a breaking-in period for ex-smokers to get to this level of vaping, since they are used to the tight and puny mouth to lung draw of a cigarette.

I bought a magma clone rda last week ..Even with the smallest airhole(double 1mm) it is difficult to mouth inhale.So i tried a short lung hit..unfortunately it was beautiful )..18mg was way much though...
