Nose hit?

[Dave L]

I totally get the TH thing. I've had a chance now to try a dozen or so different juices, and some of them had practically none while others are at the other end of the scale. What I'm noticing, at least with the tobacco juices that I favor, is that some have a tremendous "nose hit" while others don't. What I mean by nose hit is the sensation when you take the steam into the mouth and let it out the nose without inhaling at all. Right now I'm vaping some Parmal from Hangsen, and when I do that it has an intense tobacco-ness that I don't get at all when I inhale. I like it - two different sensations from the same juice. I have another tobacco that has a totally different NH and one that has almost none. My first guess is that it has to do with how much if any of the juice is naturally extracted vs synthetic flavor. I haven't seen any mention of NH. Is it a quality that folks give much thought to?

I've never heard NH mentioned Dave. I think it's rare that people exhale through their nose without inhaling first. I doubt it has to do with natural vs synthetic flavors, but that's just my opinion. Happy vaping

Hey! I finally found someone who enjoys nose hit. Well, in my limited 5 week experience, I equate nose hit with nicotine levels, just like throat hit.
Sometimes, when I've been vaping and inhaling too much, my throat hurts. So I don't inhale and let the vapor slowly trickle out from the nose. Wonderful hit. However, if I do it continuously, the hit diminishes. Probably my nose gets desensitized to the nicotine.
Also different clearos give different levels of throat hit and nose hit, even if the juice is the same. Maybe your juices have different.nicotine levels?

But, just to check that we have the same interpretation of throat hit-- I equate throat hit with a hot tingling sensation in my nose when I exhale through it. What's your throat hit like?

I believe that "nose hit" happens when you try to do tricks Like me I like to do the "bridge". I vape through my mouth then without inhaling, I release the vapor out slowly through my mouth then I try to inhale it with my nose.

When I first started smoking that was referred to as French inhaling.

Yeah they call it that. I prefer to call it something simple

 

[Rocketpunk]

I must be doing it wrong. I see Busardo doing it all the time. Whenever I do it, it tastes (smells?) like CRAP, no matter what juice I'm vaping.

EDIT: Oh, wait, we're talking about French inhaling. I thought we were talking about blowing vapor out of our nose while vaping. I French inhale my Turkish Blend when using my Volts because my gf loves the smell of tobacco on my 'stache.

I agree - exhaling through my nose without inhaling really burns and taste/smells horrible. I do exhale through my nose quite a bit after inhaling though, the taste is nice when doing this.

Does anybody have an explanation why it hurts/smells bad without inhaling V inhaling?

 

[EricDykstra]

You taste through your nose. Small amounts of aroma travel from the mouth to nose to give us the the flavors we taste. My guess is by taking the flavor directly in it is an assault on your senses. That overload can cause burning,tingling, or cause the bad taste.

I love NH. Especially when the flavoring is at a minimal percentage. I'm vaping my DIY Hangsen Cigar at 1 drop per ml. That makes the nicotine shine through. I get a snuff like sensation that just lights up my brain receptors. Best thing about vaping IMO

When we inhale most of the nicotine is absorbed in the throat. When we do a NH the nicotine is absorbed in our nasal passages.

I get a much better nose hit with all VG juices. It's the PG that burns my nose.

 

[subversive]

I like a nice tingle/burn in my nose. I will routinely draw vapor into my mouth and just let it rise to my nose, though most of the time I inhale/exhale through my mouth. I do a bit of everything with my vapor, lol.

 

[Dave L]

Thanks for the responses...so it IS something that people notice. I find that with some juices the NH is extremely pleasant, while others it's kinda nasty. Flavored juices like fruits and sweets don't please me at all in that department. But that's me.

 

[Jimi D.]

I tried a NH on my Wife's cinnamon roll at 30 mg. Good Lawd !! That is some powerful stuff ! LOL

Me too !
I have just discovered 'nose hit' since i started exhaling through my nose whilst still drawing. I recently bought 100ml of medium strength generic Chinese 'Pall Mall' juice, the taste and smell is so-so but the nose taste is awesome.
Took me ages to master the exhale through the nose whilst inhaling with the mouth. Gives a new dimension to average juices.

Believe it or not, I find the drip tip I'm using will affect whether or not I can do this. Some drip tips I can have vapor cycling from my mouth to nose without even thinking about it. With others it won't work at all...

lol My mom is always interested in my Ego-C and the juices I get, and every now and then asks for a puff. She just can't wrap her head around the fact that she doesn't need to exhale the thing through her nose. Sends her reeling every time.

I rarely exhale through my nose...perhaps maybe once in every ten puffs, if that. I had a rough experience with exhaling 24mg Dekang Cherry through my nose...never again.
