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?


I see this brought up often and we always come to this short conclusion. Lung inhales are stupid and not normal at all you didn't do it when you smoked cigarettes which probably would have killed you way quicker and you don't do it when vaping.
 
I use the mouth inhale method. That said, even though I quit regular cigarettes over 20 years ago, my big nicotine usage came from dipping snuff. I quit cigars 2 or 3 years ago when after smoking just one cigar it triggered a migraine. Didn't take too many times to figure out that smoking a cigar= migraine. Stopped cigars cold turkey. Still had my Copenhagen......even thinking about taking a dip....like now brings on an urge for just one small dip...just one..no harm...yea. I dipped various brands mostly Skoal and Copenhagen for 45 years, been free of its grip 2 months now. I am a vaper, a vapers life for me, I just always thought you did a mouth inhale, gettin it too far into my lungs made me sick to my stomach. Holds true for me weather it was smoking or vaping...guess I'm different, then again...maybe not.

I uses to lung inhale with analogs (almost 20 years!), but vaping is usually closer to how I smoked cigars. Take the vapor into my mouth, inhale (mostly) air into my lungs through my nose, then exhale through my nose. The flavors really come out for me that way when vaping. Especially as my sense of smell and taste still have a way to go to be close to normal as I only stopped analogs two weeks ago. It is weird to try to describe something I don't even usually think about.

I know what you mean Taowulf! Same here. Now I'm trying to figure out how I smoke regular cigs....I think from smoking fast at work I learned to do this: take one puff and I don't think it goes in my lungs, but while its coming out my nose I"m taking another hit to take into my lungs. Didn't realize I did that until I paid attention today!

I don't even know where to begin with this one ...

with the resistance on a cigarette or pv how the hell do you lung inhale wihout flooding the tank, also a cigarette isn't made to be inhaled directly into the lungs with the filters on them etc you would spend more energy trying to draw the air through the cigarette with your lungs instead of using the suction of your mouth to draw in the air.

I dragged on cigs with mouth to lung hits and do the same with vape. I don't enjoy the lung hit really bc if the vapor doesn't hit my throat it feels too empty. I'm not a cloud chaser so I don't really have a need for lung hitting. I also don't prefer my friends rba's with huge air holes bored out of them, bc it pretty much forces me to lung hit it. I'm very partial to throat hit, and maybe it's bc i've only been vaping for 3 months, but we shall see if it's something I out-grow, or if it's just simply preference.

When I first started vaping I used to "mouth inhale"; but found that I just couldn't get enough vapor that way... even using high nic content juices. Because I wasn't getting "enough" I kept white knuckling analogs until I found that a good lung inhale not only gave me the throat hit I needed but also the "full" feeling of a having something other than air inside my lungs.

Now that I'm using RBA's and RDA's and more powerful mods I find that the draw on most of my devices is simply setup to be much to "airy" to even consider a simple mouth type inhale... although I do find myself sometimes doing a combination of both. ;-)

I mouth inhaled my cigarettes but when times get rough the lungs start to take the hits. Now that I'm vaping if there is a tank that is a very airey draw ill lung inhale (sub ohm vaping) the tighter the draw ill mouth inhale. I wouldn't lung inhale e-liquid past 6mg nicotine, period. Is it safe? Nicotine seems to tired out the lungs and causes my day to be more "lazy" (when I lung inhale) I couldn't imagine why anyone would lung inhale a 24 mg. But I've adjusted to both world of inhaling now...switching to nose inhales

I never lung-inhaled cigarettes. But as for vaping - I've only used cartos and clearos so far, lung-inhaling with both. I don't know how it would perform with a tank/carto, as I haven't vaped with one yet.

I admit I'm new to ECF and to vaping, but I'm not sure how lung-inhaling would flood a tank. Perhaps - since a lung draw would take longer, since the lungs have more capacity than the mouth - one may end up dry-hitting the wick/coil if it couldn't keep up with a draw of more than 3-4 seconds? That hasn't happened to me yet. My Triton tank has so far always been able to keep up with my draw strengths and durations. I pull with fairly light pressure, and my pulls usually take 4-6 seconds.
