Solved - the mysterious bug juice taste

[BigBen2k]

This is why I love ECF.

Going through another thread, someone pointed out that the "preferred" way of vaping, does not include inhaling.

I had been a smoker for 20 years, so it never occurred to me to not inhale, as I did when I first tried an analog cigarette, cough cough years ago. So I tried it, with my favorite Tribeca.

Whoa.

I got a taste that matches exactly what Halo haters describe; bug juice / medecine / antiseptic / ... Halo haters are rare but there is always a small proportion of them. I've wondered why, until now.

I'm happy to report that I'm inhaling again, and I like my Tribeca as much as ever, from the same tank/battery! (Halo Triton)

Has anyone else experienced this? (or are you willing to try and share?)

I've tried the non-inhale method just to see if it changed the flavors. I did get a little bit stronger and slightly different flavor off of some juices, but never anything like you're describing.

Though, to be quite honest, I'm not sure I do the non-inhale method "right."

Yea... I dunno. I always inhale. My method is to take a few puffs like a cigar before inhaling one. I do this with my G6s with cartos and my Tritons with tanks. Works for me.

Seems like holding it in my mouth would kind of defeat the purpose. I take a couple primer puffs, then long, deep drags. Those who never inhale probably never smoked.

There is a point. Nicotine in vapor is absorbed through the skin, as well as any other tissue it comes in contact with, to varying degrees. Some (few, I suspect) people don't inhale vapor, at all.

I can see that. I loved smoking, though- not just for the nicotine. If all I wanted were nicotine, I'd just get patches, gum or inhalers. E-nic, to me, is the future of smoking, so I vape as I smoked.

I don't really see the point of vaping or smoking if you don't inhale, but that's just me. Then again, maybe it's not just me...

"I inhaled... That was the point."

Barack Obama, regarding if he's ever smoked the green stuff and if so did he inhale.

I miss Clinton and Bush. Obama is boring by comparison.
