Since I've been vaping (> 6 years), I've heard that most of the nic in vapor is absorbed in the mucous membranes of the mouth, throat, and nose. I don't know if there have been any scientific studies that document that as being true. Theory is the nicotine molecule in vapor is larger than the nicotine molecule in smoke, so the vapor molecule may not get into the lung's tiny alveoli (air sacs) for absorbtion. So in theory, its not necessary to inhale vapor into your lungs to absorb your nicotine.
It's also probably benefitual to exhale some of your vapor out of your nose. Our sense of smell works closely with our sense of taste. You can probably relate to this when you have a really congested nose and you temporarily can't taste your food or drink.
Since many recent smokers have damaged taste buds from years of smoking (vaper's tongue), exhaled vapor out of your nose can help you "taste" the flavors in your vapor. Often I can taste one flavor component of the juice while inhaling, and another flavor component during the exhale.

Somehow I started to do that when I started vaping...never really a problem. I don't make the clouds because the inhaled doesn't get launched out of the deep lungs. But, the inhale fills my mouth and I taste the flavor. The I send it out through the nasal passages and the little vape bubbles cling to my nasal hairs. Exhale easy. Smells wonderful.
It is definitely tootling...but the smell and taste is rather good. But, always, to each their own.

Yes, most of the nicotine is absorbed by the soft tissue in your mouth before the vapor ever reaches your lungs. Exhaling through the nose is because over 70% of your sense of taste is smell.
I have occasionally done this while smoking a cigar. As was said, smell and taste are linked and I always seemed to get more flavor that way. And it doesn't hit as fast as a cigarette but you can get quite a bit of nicotine from a cigar that way.
I've been inhaling into the lungs vaping. I don't know if you get nicotine from the lungs or not (why would a nicotine molecule be any smaller in smoke than in vapor?) but I guess for me it helps to make the experience more cigarette-like. I use a tight airflow and vape MTL too. But I think just taking it into the mouth and nose is a perfectly valid way to vape if you want.

Im confused....i put the driptip to my nose and inhaled deeply. Then, after the initial firey burn inside my nose, i went into a 20 sneezing fit before i blacked out. When i came to, my nose was running like a leaky faucet. Cant hardly wait to try this again....
Yep welcome to my life
I sneeze all the time from exhaling from the nose LOLTell you what though, it keeps it clean as a whistle
Well, thanks alot. I just got booed off the stage at a state level cloud comp and the other bruhs in my vape posse cut off my patches and bottom rocker from my vape vest. 2 years....2 years I vaped as a prospect before becoming a full patch member! All for nothing. This technique cost me everything! Worst day evah.
There are vape vests? I am horrified.Well, thanks alot.

It is a MTL-style technique. It is for some reason just the way I started and on day one I was all alone...you masters weren't there to instruct me.
Your Honor, at the mercy of the court, I plead ignorance to the laws. I did switch overnight and it was so long ago. I ask for clemency...

All joking aside, i get the same issue when i exhale vape thru nose. Runs constantly. I even get condensation if vapor goes thru my mustache and have to wipe my face with a paper towel.
So we now have a new acronym ..... MTN
get off my lawn!
