puffing, slow long puffs or

[gogu]

Hi everyone,
Question on vaping technique.
Everything i've read states slow long puffs, seeing the youtube videos of people taking 5-6sec puffs doesn't really look like a "normal" cigarette puff, when i first started that looked strange.
I've had good success with manual batteries pressing the button for 2sec before taking a puff, then taking a short 1sec puff, resulting in good th and lots of vapour.
Has anyone tried this, does it shorten the life of an atomizer, reduce the flavour as i have not noticed any down sides.
I have tried this with eGo, Riva and regular joye510.
Any and all input is appreciated.
thanx

Nah-- no down-side to your technique. Are you using LR attys-- these will get you a hit quicker too. YMMV
Also would help if you were using a battery that lets you vape @ a true3.7v or @ least closer to it.

But if you're enjoying success w/ the gear you've got-- no need to change a thing.

That's what I do all the time with my mods, just have to be very careful not to hold the button down to long.

From a flavor standpoint, long & slow works best for me, both for vaping and barbecue short ribs.

Bottom line, of course, is that whatever works for you is best.

I suck on my ecig like a straw for a few seconds. Get sick rips off the thing.

I do about 3 second hits, I heard over 5 seconds ruins the battery.

I found that I had to take long, slow puffs with standard eGo equipment if I wanted to get the vapor production and TH from it. Otherwise it tended toward the weak side. I am going to be trying an LR atty, and I've decided I'd like to give the eGo Mega atty and cart a try and see what sort of difference that makes. But slow, 4-5 second puffs work fine for me.
