Stupid long inhale?

[kirby]

I've watched a couple Youtube clips of people talking about their ecigs. One thing they all seem to have in common are stupid long inhales. The first couple I saw I figured that was just to show off the vapor. But after a while....

So, whats up with long inhales? Perhaps its just manual vs automatic batts... I dunno. Do you?

you have to really take a long puff on an automatic to get the vapor out.

That makes a lot of sense... manuals you can heat it up while not inhaling. Wow, you just made my purchasing decision a lot easier!

This forum rocks on post reply time.

The FIRST thing to understand about e-cigs is . . . . they are not the same as analogs and the first thing you will notice is the draw is longer than a regular cig. Manual, auto, cart, carto, the draw is longer but you do get used to it.

On my manual you gotta long slow inhales to get vaper

My second or third model was a DSE102. You won't hear much about it.
It's a great mini and my choice when I actually want to carry one that looks like an analog. This model is the closest that I've come to puffing on an analog.
I like it so much I've got a stock pile that will probably last me my lifetime.

I love the stupid long inhales...I consider it one of my best talents

 

[bornagainst]

I take 6-7 second inhales on a manual.

What can I say, I love the taste.

I like the 808 auto battery. I have had fantastic luck using it in a manner very similar to a cigarette. The draw is a little harder, but performing a "stupid long" inhale is not required to get good vapor. I rarely ever hit the cutoff of seven seconds.

I saw the videos too. The first time I tried an e-cig I took about a 5-6 second pull. I could feel the menthol vapor in my mouth and I thought "Oh, this is going to be good". So finally I inhaled.....and nearly coughed my lungs up. I got a HUGE throat hit that I wasn't prepared for and I've found that with nicotine levels that high ( it was 24 mg), you really don't need a very long pull. I can't imagine what smoking the 36 mg is like.

I've learned the best way to vape is to take stupid, long inhales.

Check this post from the ECF library:

How to inhale properly

cybercop: Thanks! As I was reading though the thread, that post came to mind and I was going to post a link to it too. It's good info, you beat me to it.

 

[OnMyWay]

When I first started I couldn't get a throat hit or vapor. My non-smoking/non-vaping hubby picked up my ecig and got a nice TH with tons of vapor. He proceeded to tell me that I was doing it wrong. He said it's not a cig. LOL I didn't even have to try and convince him it wasn't smoking. But now he tells me I vape too much. At least I'm not smoking.

Anyways the long slow inhale took me a little while to get used to.

thanks to both cybercop and ncc for the heads up to the OP on the guide I wrote..beat ME to it!!

If you hit an ecig like an analog, you're NOT going to be satisfied. They may LOOK like a cigarette.....

 

[Skyler]

Slow and easy and you will find that you will like it.

 

[kirby]

@cybercop, NCC, domino38, nice quick write up. I suppose I'll just have to buy one already and get used to it!

A lit ....-log is already ignited and burning the tobbacco before you take a hit. The juice is in a liguid state and the atomizer (with heating coil ) is in the off position. when you activate the atomizer via the battery, it takes time to have the coil heatup and atomize the juice to a vapored amount that will be pleasing to the vaporer (wonder if thats a new word). You can setup an ecig with a higher wattage configutation which in turn will heatup the juice alot quicker to the desired vapor amount. Lots of folks do use these "HV" and/or "LR atty" setups, but there are trade offs such as the juice that tasted great at normal wattage can taste like chit at a higher power setup.And of course folks that find good tasting juice at high power will find that same juice to be crappy at normal power. Happy Vaping

Maybe it was the menthol? I use 36 mg and I take about an 8-second pull. Love the throat hit! I vape myself silly sometimes though...

 

[crazygirll22]

I agree slow and steady is the way to go! I usually take 8-10 second drags on my manual pv's. Lol

 

[2ndChanceVapor]

People swear by heating up the atty to get more vapor. On the KR808D1 and the 2nd Chance Cig the first (cold atty) inhale almost always produces the most vapor. The vapor diminishes slightly after to a steady vapor amount.
