Vaping technique - suggestions

[kinabaloo]

Just a quick note; perhaps 'old hat' for some.

After some days experimenting, I think the best technique is to vape somewhat like a cigar - that is, inhale and hold, roll it around the mouth; no need to breathe it into the lungs. After inhale, extra air is taken in through the nose tather than mouth; so less vapor is drawn into the lungs; some is and it seems a better level to feel more pleasant and not choke/cough.

For extra hit, hold longer and breathe the vapor out (very) slowly through the nose.

I think this works best; and has the bonus of mitigating any possible harm that vaping might have to the lungs / high-level direct absorbption.

Good tips. I normally vaped liked how I use to smoke. Taking a pull and holding it the mouth and then inhaling. Honestly, it's kind of weird how I hear people just inhaling the whole way through.

i inhale the whole way through, only when I am mindless vaping. The oxygen mixed with the vape, gives me a stronger TH. Like, I keep the sides of my mouth open while im inhaling the juice, to also inahle air as well. But mostly I do it the pull then inhale way.

Very intresting,I believe there is no right and wrong way to vaping and that there are accually several ways to vape depending on what atty,voltage and device the user is useing.For example I have noticed that when useing a LR atty that is debridged it's best to have a very powerful draw,which keeps up with heat the coil is providing so that there is no spitting of eliquid.While writting this I think the draw technique has to be the right velocity to match the heat production of the coil.It's accually all subjective on what the user wants,like the technique for the most vapor will be different to the one used for flavor

There really is only three general techniques. Inhaling all the way through, pull then inhale or cigar style..

Edit: Well obviously theres more, but I was just saying generally. Like you could cigar style then inhale through nose, Which I love to do to warm up my atty's. Or mix some of these up half an half.

Thanks guys. After two years I'd never done anything but pull and inhale. The others are interesting, especially the cigar style.

I tried inhaling all the way through and that is STRONG !

Hope I didn't offend anyone that vaped this way. It's just that everyone I know smoke the same way (I'm the only person that vapes). So, that's why I said that since I haven't met anyone that inhaled all the way through.

No offense taken, everyone has rights to their own opinions. And inhaling all of the way through is abnormal, but try it for a better TH! lol

 

[washvap]

I actually tried that out today and it gave me WAY more TH. I almost choked LOL

Vaping is like dancing there is no right or wrong way its all about what works for you.What works for me is direct inhale 50% of the time and cigar style the rest

 

[washvap]

That's true, whatever works is the best choice.

When I hear people say they are happy with 3.2 volt and 3ohm atomizers the first thing I think of is "they must inhale all the way through". Because there is no way a 6 volt vaper with a 2.5-3 ohm atty is doing that, unless they have lungs of steel.

I just tried the cigar way of smoking and I really like it, but it takes too much concentration (I mindlessly chain vape). For me the cigar hit gives me more intense flavor that lingers, but the long draw gives me me more TH.

I vape like the OP when I'm just relaxing. When I'm on a "vape break" at work I suck on that thing like I used to on my smoke breaks back in the day.

I try not to inhale more than necessary.
For pipe/cigar style I sometimes slow inhale with mouth closed or almost closed; best w/ strong eliquids.
Only a fraction is inhaled but still get TH and flavor.
I often avoid inhale altogether w/ super strong eliquids.

I also inhale air prior to inhaling vapor in attempt to avoid deep inhale.

May not be necessary to minimize inhaled vapor but it doesn't take away from my enjoyment so why not.

Cigar/pipe style vaping can put me in a trance; everything is in slow motion.
Plus it's easier than yoga.
Not something to do when in a rush; that's the time for mindless vaping.

The only thing I used to smoke was cigars so I tend to have either no or very little inhale. It seems to give me better flavor that way but really whatever you enjoy is the way you should do it.
