Mouth Inhale vs Lung Inhale

[NikUk]

I've been an ecig convert for about 6 months.

When I first started I used my ecigs like I did a cig, puff puff puff and come back later. I have always smoked by inhaling the smoke into my mouth, then my lungs.

I had never in my life tried a lung inhale, ie inhaling straight into my lungs.

Reading some posts, some people seemed to equate a lung inhalation with better vapour production. So about 5 minutes ago I figured what the heck, and took a deep inhilation straight to my lungs.

I've just about recovered. Felt like I was smoking my first cig, lots of coughing and spluttering, and a definate head rush! Oh and lots more vapour!

However I am curious as it felt somehow more "unhealthy". Now I realise that compared to tobacco, thats a ludicrous statement, but I am wondering if there is any basis to whether one method is more healthy than the other, and whether people using any particular method suffer more side effects than the other....

As I said, just curious....

That's what we call a troat hit here... First time getting a good hit you will cough but after a while trust me this is the way to smoke. Reason saying so some users have bought e-cigs and after a while of getting use to vapor it tends to get light cause we really inhaling water. But then again for normal smokers of 15 - 20 years doesn't like the results after a while just because the take a drag and inhale. This breaks down most of the troat hit you would recieve... But trying to inhale while dragging gets you the ul troat hit..

But a better way is to try and let some air in there while doing this so you won't always cough and you would get use to it..

Normally put the tip of the cart in you cheeks sideways and pull while having a small gap in your mouth open ... This would get you that nice troat hit

NikUk, get out of my head lol j/king

seriously., u must have been reading my mind...

ive only been vaping since dec 2nd, no analogs since then. (im a 32 yr smoker)

but um, it seems i dont get as much satisfaction inhaling thru my mouth as of late..

so before i came to read the forums, i decided to lung inhale, and ya know what? i likes it i get instant throat hit and it seems to me i get that feeling of pleasure that i used to get from analogs..

b4, i would inahle thru my mouth back to back at least 5 times b4 feeling that pleasure that i so enjoy..

glad u started this thread as id like to know what other vapors do, do they inhale thru mouth, or inhale thru lungs?

cmon peeps, tell us about it ok?

I just tried the "lung-inhale" for the first time and wow. To say that the throat hit got exponentially more significant would be an understatement.

I'm gonna go back to my "mouth-inhale" now, but I can definitely see how someone would prefer to use the lung method if their goal is the best throat hit possible.

I just sat down for an entire day trying different ways reason i know this one would work for everyone....Sometimes it goes so bad it's where the soar troat begins. But then again while vaping for the first few months i was getting upset of not getting a troat hit.... I think this is the same thoughts as many who have use e-cig and had the urge to go back. But now some makes mods with high volts to properly give you more power to get troat hits.. But all along we had the perfect device just never knew the correct way to use them All brands of e-cig even thoese sucky ones can get the best troat hits

The first few drags are similar to smoking; I inhale fairly deeply but more relaxed. I generally get a good hit with these. Although these first few drags are just about satisfying the initial habitual craving.

After 4-5 drags the hit starts getting smoother (too smooth). I think this may be due to my throat/larynx becomming coated with residue. At this stage I take it much slower and only inhale to the point where I feel it just pass my larynx. I then exhale very slowly and allow the vapour to linger behind my nose on it's way out.

This is when I relax and take pleasure in vaping. You can control the hit to some extent but the real hit is on the exhale. And the nic-hit is much stronger when I allow the vapour through my nasal passages this way.

Occasionally I won't inhale as such. I just open my throat and allow the vapour to fill my throat/nose as I slowly breathe out. This can give me a huge nic-hit and although I haven't really had throat hit, it feels like I've had a big one.

I don't inhale directly to the lungs. I've tried it and it does work. But I feel it's just building to the point where you won't be able to get a satisfying hit at all. Just as you built up to double drags, you may also build up to double lung inhales. etc.

However, the main reason I won't lung inhale is bad vaper. I'd hate to take huge draws on burning poly deep into my lungs before I even realised it was bad.

I can't help to tell you what is healthier or has worse side effects.

But I always get a kick out of threads on this topic because I am still trying for a better hit from everything because a lung inhale doesn't quite do it for me with e-cigs. That could be because that is the same way I have always smoked cigarettes and cigars too though.

The difference is in the temperature of the air/vapor. And the lungs ARE VERY sensitive to hot temperatures.

When you do a mouth inhale, you're mixing the hot air/vapor from the e-cig with the ambiant air that you inhale after the drag. When you do a lung inhale, that hot air is going directly to your lungs with no outside air to help cool it down first.

So I would say yes, there is a health difference, and while I doubt the occasional lung inhale will cause a lot of damage, doing it all the time might.
