Lung Inhale vs Mouth Inhale

[Bobster]

This is generally the method I use. I had never even considered (or heard of) a direct lung hit until I started vaping.

Ditto. Never heard of direct lung hit until I chanced on this thread today. Every day's a school day!

Im still trying to learn the best way to inhale on an ecig for the most vapor and best nic effect for me personally and I must admit I dont have it down just yet.... but on analogs i always did a mouth hit, followed by a little gasp of extra air, and then breathed into the lungs. thats what Ive been trying to do with my ecig, but I need to modify it if i want the best vapor output when i exhale. Ive found that with anything Ive smoked, including ecigs, direct lung hits KILL me, hurt my throat, make me cough, UHG! hate it. also not a fan of exhaling thru my nose. maybe my juice is just too harsh for it? hoping to play around with diff juices and tanks and such till i can master this.

I notice that people have been giving advice to use mouth inhaling instead of g 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?

I have always been a mouth to lung inhaler until I started vaping. I feel with vaping a straight lung inhale gibes me better flavor and amount of vapor but I will do both depending on the situation. If I want a quick hit when I'm needing a CIG I will mouth inhale but if I'm just hanging out and am looking for pure flavor the lung hit always hits the spot.

I used to do the lung inhale with cigarettes, but after 2+ years vaping if find it practically impossible to do now. Lol. Seriously, I just tried about 10 times, and my brain doesn't want to let my body do it. Okay, I finally got one, and the flavor is definitely less than a mouth inhale.

A contractor came to my house a few months ago to give an estimate on redoing our guest bathroom, he was a smoker and was interested in my ecig (provari, he'd never seen one 'that big'). I got a tip and let him try. He started inhaling as I was explaining mouth vs. lung and took this 10 second monster toke straight to his lungs. He nearly fell off the chair, with tears rolling out of his eyes. I felt terrible. I hope I didn't ruin him on ecigs forever.

I never lung inhaled analogs.

I always lung inhale when vaping.

I have no idea why.

 

[Randall.K]

Mouth inhale for me all the way, lung hits knock the hell out of me lol

 

[Irishcream1]

I lung inhaled when I smoked but mouth inhale with vaping as I get more taste out do it that way. I never knew people mouth inhaled till i tried ecigs.

 

[smacuser]

mouth to lung.

 

[thatmikekid]

I do a mixture of both, never really paid any attention to it until passing through this thread lol

I thought drawing into the mouth then inhaling was the 'normal' way to do it? The only other method I've noticed was some old man at the pub (pre smoking ban) who used to hold his ciggie to his mouth the whole time while breathing in and out. He'd spark up then for 5mins there would just be a cloud of smoke round his face until he finished

When I started smoking, mouth inhaling was the cool way to do it because you could do that 'trick' where let the mass of smoke slightly escape your mouth before breathing in. I guess we all keep the method that feels comfortable.

I once tried what I think was lung inhaling with a shisha pipe because I wanted to try to get more smoke in my mouth - big mistake!

I smoked red's for 16 years and there's no way I could lung hit those. Now that I'm solely vaping, I tried lung hitting and it was rough! No idea how people do it......but I'm insanely jealous of them.

i mouth inhale, 80% time then draw into lungs, otherwise will just taste in mouth/nose and exhale. i only really lung inhale with...well, not relevant to this forum.

I just started vaping today and i noticed i do lung inhales and it hits very hard for me. I dont quite like it lol. I might try to loosen my lips to get more air, or just mouth inhale...

 

[HumphreyBogart11490]

mouth inhale all the way...otherwise you cant do cool ghosties

 

[Topacka]

Always drew into my mouth and inhaled with smokes, because it would be brutal otherwise. But with vaping I've found that I almost always cough when doing this, so I direct lung inhale anywhere up to 5 seconds.

We have an authoritative text about the mouth/lung issue in our Library, written by rolygate a couple of years ago.

A few selected excerpts:

E-Cigarette vapor is not drawn directly into the lungs, as many smokers do with a tobacco cigarette. The lungs do not 'suck' on the ecig; a direct inhale is not used. Instead, the vapor is first drawn into the mouth, using the cheeks to create a vacuum, then inhaled if desired.

The vapor doesn't have to be inhaled though, and an ecig can be used like a cigar, with the vapor only taken into the mouth. Nicotine will still be delivered - and probably better than if an attempt is made to inhale the vapor directly into the lungs.

The droplet size in vapor is ten times the particulate size in smoke (10 microns vs 1 micron). This means that cigarette smoke penetrates far more deeply into the lungs, travelling deep into the smallest passageways. Vapor cannot go anywhere near as deep, and this means that nicotine is not available so easily from the lungs, and is obtained more slowly.

You can/should read the whole text here: Inhalation technique with an e-cigarette.

It's too much work to inhale juice into the lungs. Tight draw or airy draw, it will still never come close to the ease of a cig. Sucking it like a straw = win.

 

[doelleb85]

I mouth inhaled cigs otherwise ouch....when i switched to e cigs rbas i found lung inhaling quite nice and smooth dont forget those huge vapor clouds..just gotta have a nice set up with plenty airflow....some of the older e cigs clearos etc are to tight on the draw ide just mouth hit those...

 

[davinthedude]

I didn't change my method until switching from a tank to a RDA. Prior to the switch, it was all a mouth inhale, as the smoke was harsh. now there is a much greater volume of smoke, but it's much smoother and at what feels like a much lower temperature.

I've always liked take larger longer inhales so I usually lung hit. However, when I just need a quickie I just mouth hit.
