I've been an occasional smoker for a while, and while I do enjoy them, I'm looking for something a bit more healthy. I've been using disposables up until now, and will be until my Halo Triton arrives, but it's on the way. I've recently started to gag when vaping, and that wasn't an issue until about a week ago. Is there anyone who has experienced and gotten around this? Also, while vaping am I supposed to be inhaling directly, inhaling into my mouth and then into my lungs, or solely into my mouth?

There's no "right" way to vaping, it's what you like. Some like lung hits (directly into the lungs, some like mouth then lung. Nicotine is mostly absorbed by the mouth and nose, so you don't have to inhale if you're uncomfortable or having issues.

I've never heard of gagging, but someone else may have some experience with that - you may be having a reaction to the PG in the juice, or the flavoring. What juices are you vaping?

Currently just the Mystic/Vuse disposables. Nothing great, just a temp thing. I really only vape once or twice a day, occasionally skipping days. Not really an addiction or anything, just stress relief.

I'd try another brand, maybe the Blu and Njoy disposables, and see if you do better. You also might need to just get used to it, vapor is different than smoke, I know I coughed a lot when i started. The cheaper disposables also spit juice, from my experience.

Uhh...not trolling. I'm sure I could quit. I don't get cravings or anything. Like I said though, I'm just using it as stress relief/a hobby.

If you are new and take a lung hit you will gag/ choke. I've seen many do the first time they try. For a first timer I always tell them to smoke it like a cigar don't inhale it right away. Lungs aren't used to the humid vape yet. Take vapor into mouth like a cigar then a short inhale if you wish/ can . As time progresses with the mouth to lung inhales the lungs will get used to it and then you can move to lung inhales for the extra th if you want.

Is smoking cigars less manly.

I take a mix of cigar hits and direct lung hits for the extra punch.
