I think direct lung hits are for rdas..Pressure differential system tanks tend to leak when sucked hard.

I know from my taifun...
I think my body has it backwards. I can only lung inhale with my vape. Otherwise, I end up in a coughing fit. I always mouth inhaled with analogs.
I was always a mouth to lunger on analogs and for the first year almost that carried into my vape, but as of late I'm always straight to lung. I moved into dripping on a mech, drilled out my airholes, loved it and now i lung hit my Nautilus as well (my all day vape currently). Funny how that transition happens. I hadn't given it any thought until I saw this post. Cheers.
With cigs I was always a mouth inhaler. when I switched to Vaping I got really into it. I stayed with my mouth inhales though for about 6 months, then I discovered cloud chasing, I almost instantly switched to dripping, and became a cloud chaser. Being cloud chaser obviously it's better to do lung inhales getting as much vapor out of your dripper as possible, so that's what I am now. Takes some getting used to, getting all the vapor into your lungs without coughing one up but after a little practice you get used to it. So my opinion is, people who are just using vape as an alternative to cigs, will probably stick with the mouth to lung inhale, whereas people who are cloud chasers (or just looking to get as much nic. As possible), will go with the lung inhales.
Since an I have started using my RDA I will lung hit and use lower nic juice cause of the size and harshness of higher nic juices. Using my adj evic and protank III I would always mouth hit cause of low airflow as I did when I smoked my Marb Reds (RIP). Haven't smoked in about 7months no cheating
I came across this thread while looking for the best way to inhale.
I used to inhale analogs by holding it in the mouth and then drawing it in. Tried the same with ecigs and but took longer. I used 24mg or a mix of 24 and 16 mg to get enough nicotine.
Its only been three days since I moved to vaping alone and today morning even after thirty minutes I was craving for more nic.
So I tried to inhale directly to the lungs and it worked to supress the craving in a couple of puffs. It was harsh on my throat and lungs but after about 20 puffs I got used to it.
I never liked throat hits, but in this case the nicotine delivery works better for me when directly inhaling to the lungs. Four or five puffs and I am good for some time.
From what I have read people seem to get a better hit with mouth inhalation, but for me it seems the opposite is true and nicotine delivery is better when doing a lung inhalation. I have tried keeping it in my mouth for longer but it just makes me take more and more puffs to get that nicotine. I was surprised how quickly lung inhalation worked for me.
I am using an ego c atomizer with a mix of 11mg and 24 mg in about 2:1 ratio. I had to add some 24 mg because I wasn't getting enough with mouth inhalation.
From now on am going to do lung inhalation whenever I want some extra nic and vape via mouth at other times.
Sharing this for anyone who might not be getting a good enough hit. Find the way that works best for you.

Oh man! Has anybody read this whole thread? Lung inhale vs mouth inhale? And it turns out most of the lung inhales does mouth first then lung inhale. Not once did anybody called mouth inhaling as just puffing. Yes when I first smoked analogs (many moons ago) I puffed (mouth inhaled). It wasn't long before some kid my age (who had more experience with smoking than I did) said that I wasn't inhaling.
Of course I said what? He said you had to inhale it into your lungs. So I started with mouth to lungs and I got the full effect of the nic. I was hook on nic for many years and then I wanted to quit and I quit for 10 years. And all of the big promises of the huge benefits of quitting just never paid off for me. Sure there was a slight benefit of not smelling like smoke and taste buds are better a bit. But that wasn't as good as the the benefit of the nic. Any stress comes your way and just a hit of nic makes everything so much better.
So I started again. I didn't like menthol when I first started with analogs. But the second time around they tasted great. Not too much, as it was rough on the lungs for me. Sure I tried rolling, but buying commercial was much better. Later I found out about buying tubes and tobacco. Ahh... real nice. I can pack them looser and get that fast burn (and easier draw) to soak them into my lungs. All is well and yes I heard about e-cigs and all, but I loved what I was doing.
I haven't smoked inside of the house for at least 10 years now. Plus there are tons of places where you can't smoke anyway. Plus it is now turning winter and I hate going outside when the temp is below freezing (and now it is). So while I was at the grocery store a week ago I decided to try an e-cig to save myself from freezing to death outside. You know one of those use and throw aways. It wasn't bad and I still have it. Later that same day I went back to the store and got their more advanced e-cig (puff starter kit).
Wow! Just add e-juice and you are good to go. And e-juice is cheaper than tubes and tobacco. Ok the first day I was alright. the second day I really needed lots of hit of nic (call it withdraw if you like). So for the past week I have been vaping and hitting the analog for some extra nic once in awhile. But thanks to this forum, I now understand that getting your nic just doesn't cut it with lung hits. Now I get it and that changes everything.

Wow. Maybe some people are misunderstood then, but in common vaping terminology, there are two ways to inhale the vapor into the lungs, either a mouth inhale or a lung inhale.
mouth inhale is how most people smoke cigarettes and so is common for many beginner vapers to use this technique because it feels natural and is the way that smoke or vapor is drawn first into the mouth when pulling on a tiny rolled up tobacco stick or similar sized vaporizer.
lung inhale is what happens when more advanced vapors start moving up to RDAs or similar devices that allow crazy builds and massive airflow. Because the restriction of the tiny tobacco stick or cig-alike vape pen is no longer there, it is possible to breath in just like taking a deep breath and have the vapor directly fill the lungs. This allows for unprecedented vapor and flavor.
And then there are always the 0.1% of people who are just puffing on their cigarettes or vaporizers. I don't actually know anyone who does this, but this is neither a mouth or a lung inhale in regards to vaping.

To answer the question, I mouth inhaled first, then drew smoke into my lungs when I smoked ciagrettes. I do the same thing vaping. Now, when I smoked hookah, I would lung inhale. Don't know why, it's just what came naturally.
I just inhale directly into my lungs. I really don't understand how some inhale to mouth first. I just draw and it goes directly into my lungs. I can't smoke cigars because I can't keep smoke in my mouth without wanting to inhale to my lungs. I know some cigar smokers do inhale to lungs but they have to have iron lungs.
because it is quite hard to do a direct lung inhale with a small amount of airflow that you would get from something like a cigarette or an ego-type vape pen. It just isn't enough air. It requires taking a "drag" off the cigarette and then inhaling. With the cloud-chasing RDAs that are ubiquitous these days, there is no "drag" ...you just breathe in and plumes of vapor fill the lungs.
This is exactly my story word for word, I am here pulling on a CLT v2 working on my lung inhale.
I prefer mouth-to-lung. I don't like how lung-inhales affect the taste of mu eliquids. And for that extra nic-shot, I draw into my mouth and then slowly out through my nose, bypassing the lungs. Have to be mindful about which flavour you're using: Bad idea with heavy menthol liquids
Tanks - (clearomizers, i.e. Evod's, ProTanks, etc..) - Mouth to lung
RDA - Lung hits
In my experience mouth to lung vaping becomes very harsh, especially first thing in the morning and in the evenings after a day of vaping using tanks (clearomizer, i.e. Protank, etc..).
On my RDA though I can straight lung hit big juicy vapes all I want without any harshness. I DEFINITELY prefer my RDA lung hits to the harsher minimal air-flow tank mouth-to-lung hits.

I couldn't even inhale into my lungs at first. It was too painful. Then I tried a tip I found here. Basically, I purse my lips and keep the inhale steady, and suck in my cheeks, and just allow the vapor to make it's way down. I don't force it. I was amazed, for the first time I got that familiar head rush. IMHO the mouth may absorb more nicotine, but a lung inhale is faster. Also, as long as I leave 2 hours between vapes I experience a rush. I never got this consistency with analogs.
