When I first began vaping, yes, I did inhale to my lungs, but not now. I've read that others on this forum also don't inhale, or at least a slight inhale.

It took a while for me to get out of the inhaling habit, but definitely worth the habit breaking effort. Healthier I'd say, and it opened up the door to experimenting with other methods. I try to find different ways of getting better vaper so as to get the best flavor possible. Recently I've been only slightly and softly putting my mouth to the drip-tip. It creates more air and gives better flavor.

Yep, Antony has it right. You can lung inhale. You certainly don't have to. I recommend that if you do inhale, hold it in your mouth first and then inhale, exhaling through nose and mouth, one or the other or however it pleases you. :)

As to speed of vaping, I like to think of my granddad puffing his pipe on a sunny sunday afternoon in his chair, in the garden.

Don't vape like you're having a sneaky cig behind the bicycle shed in between classes at school and hoping not to get busted. Got to let the wick absorb that juice to avoid dry hits and burned coils.

Personally i still plan on smoking cigars , it is just rare when I can afford many of them and they require some up keep. this seems like a new hobby altogether and ive found a few places that actually have liquid made from some very fine cigars so Im very curious to try alot of different flavors etc. Im glad to hear i am not the odd one out here though for sure, haha.

If you watch Phil Busardos videos you can actually see him count to five as he holds the vapor in his mouth before inhaling. He bobs his head from side to side while counting and its quite comical once you realize what he's doing.

If you do inhale you'll find its much smoother that way.

Not at all. I also smoke a pipe, so I'm used to not inhaling to the lungs. Generally for me it depends on what I'm vaping. If it's really light or creamy, like an orange creamsicle flavor I love, I will lung inhale just so I can get all the goodness out of it. Often enough hitting the cutoff on my mod. In this case, there's really no way to avoid a straight lung draw because of the capacity.

Although since I got an adjustable airflow base for my pt2 which really lightened the draw, I'm drawing a lot deeper. It really just depends on your topper and your taste. There's no wrong way to do it, but because of the larger particulate size of vapor compared to smoke, the absorption of nicotine is actually better through the oral and nasal membranes than the lungs.

I'm a cigar and pipe smoker as well. I took up vaping because I moved to an area where there are no good cigar stores. I still plan on having a stogie now and then. And I don't inhale very often. Most of the time I treat as a cigar or pipe.
If your a pipe smoker be sure to check out Alien Visions "Boba's Bounty" juice. Its like a really rich pipe tobacco.
