I have found that the difference between exhaling through the nose and mouth is a much different experience than exhaling just through the mouth.

When I smoked cigs, I exhaled only through my mouth, closing off my nose as I breath out the smoke (don't know why I do this, it's just what I always did with cigs). This seems to mute the flavor of the smoke by a large margin. But I find if I exhale through my nose and mouth with cigs, the taste gets offensive very quickly (within hours or days). But every now and then dual exhaling brings a welcoming taste, but only in moderation.

Recently I found this to be the case with ecigs as well. For as long as I have vaped, I have always done both mouth and nose exhale, which I figured gave me the best flavor results. But as a consequence, most, if not all, ejuices get very offensive after a short period of time. Either they are too sweet, start to develop a bitter taste, start tasting burnt, start to taste like caramelized sugar or whatever. And because of that I never found my ADV (or any juice I could vape for very long). But I tried an experiment recently, and that is when vaping I exhale just as I would cigs, through my mouth only.

WOW! What a difference! Even offensive tasting ejuice becomes amazingly tolerable and tasty. I get the sweet inhale taste on my tongue (with a sweet juice), and after I am done exhaling I open up my nose to get the wonderful aftertaste of the ejuice, without it being too overpowering or offensive. But just right, and tastes amazingly complex (or simple, depending on the juice).


So I am curious, what is your perfeerence when exhaling? And have you noticed any worthwhile differences between techniques?

Usually through my mouth, sometimes both mouth and nose, and in vapor ring form occasionally. :)

It makes me wonder with all the ejuice opinions out there, how many exhale through their mouth rather than always nose + mouth. Cause for me it makes a world of difference in taste and the overall favorability of thus juice.

I mean heck, I am vaping a juice right now that borderline disgusts me if I vape through mouth + nose, but just going through my mouth, I am vaping it like a fiend and enjoying it thoroughly.

when i first started vaping i was pulling the vapor into my throat and exhaling through my nose and mouth, but mostly my nose. now i take bigger pulls that fill up my lungs and exhale slowly through my nose mostly. also im vaping 2.5 mg per mL because i chain vape most of the day and use about 7 mL per day. nicotine is absorbed through any part of your body so it does give me a pretty decent buzz.

different ways of exhaling makes a difference tho....also taste gets different if you lightly puff on it (like a pipe) slightly open mouthed or longer closed mouth drags.
exhaling like you was misting up a mirror or just blowing out like a cigarette gives you different intensity in TH ... try it ... I know you got a mod at yer mouth.

I can't really tell much difference between exhale through mouth or mouth + nose, or am I the only one who be like this?

I am a last-born, and am really picky when it comes to food/drinks. For me it is a night and day difference. I can taste every last bit of flavor when going through mouth+nose (good or bad), and most juices offend my tastes from this unless it is a perfect vape from the perfect atomizer.

However only exhaling through my mouth mutes the flavor a lot and makes it palpable for me. I still taste the flavor for what it is described as, but without any extra nastiness.

My vape style is dependent upon the juice, the carto/clearo/atty, and the battery/apv I'm using. If I need a hit, as with a cigarette, it's into the lungs and out through the mouth. If I want to enjoy the flavor I hold it in my mouth and exhale through my nose. Of course I have different variations of inhalation too but those are the two most common. Happy Vaping! :vapor:

Interesting - I never really give it much thought, tbh.

But I suppose I could see how one's nose clogs up with the flavours after a while, and in a way that the throat doesn't (given that it gets "refreshed" more often). On the other hand, I use an inhaler-thingy of Eucalyptus and Mint for my nose - which may also solve that problem.

Will give it a few trial runs though, thanks for the interesting tip.

I wish that I tasted the flavors so intensely that I "got sick of" em after a short time.

I have the opposite problem; i.e. no matter how I exhale, I get vaper's tongue pretty quickly, and the flavors become quite muted.

I normally begin to exhale through my nose, then gently blow the last ~half of the puff out through my mouth.

I'm quite the same with you after 3-4 hits I can't really taste anything, beside that I got an allergy that cause running nose + nose clog up very often. :unsure:

I usually exhale through my nose first then my mouth. Sometimes I dont inhale it at all. Just kinda roll it around in my mouth then exhale through my nose. The other day I was puffing away on my mod and someone at work said I looked like I was milking it....lol... I think the smokers just like to tease us vapors...jealous maybe?
