Vaping techniques - am I in danger of dmging my battery/atomizer?

[Murphysraven]

So I've discoved after a few times of sucking too hard to get the atomizer going and getting liquid in my mouth that If I blow gently into my super mini it activates the atomizer (and hopefully pushing the liquid down towards it?) and then I can reverse the air flow and take a slow to medium puff with good vapor and no mouth full of liquid.

And I damaging my battery or atomizer by priming this way?

Also, do most people vape like they inhale analogs(meaning drag smoke into the mouth then inhale)? I've found thats what my body automatically wants to do. I've tried a few times doing a slow firm inhale to get the vapor way down into my lungs but I'm not sure if that is the best method?

vape for thought. I'd love some feedback on the blowing to prime the atomizer, although I find I'm doing this after the vape starts to die down. I don't have e-liquid yet to top off.

I can only tell you what happened to me doing this. I had a battery that I had to blow into then start drawing, just to get it to work. I burned out a new atty and the battery in less than 2 days. But this is jut what happened to me and was because of a faulty battery so it may be different for you.

I vape just like I used to smoke, draw on it then inhale. I can't do it the other way at all.

Blowing into the atomiser isnt a good idea as it could cause fluid to escape into the battery.

I would advise taking a couple of 'primer puffs' before inhaling.

Think of a pipe smoker or a cigar smoker, they take a couple of quick sharp draws, which they release before taking the long inhale... thats a primer puff.

Once you do that, you have activated the atomiser.

Then after that, its very like smoking a cigarette, although I find the inhale I use to get the throat hit I want has to be a longer inhale than it would be with a cigarette.

Last thing at night, I take my e-cig apart and blow through the atomiser from the screw end, while holding a paper tissue at the other end, this empties the excess fluid that builds up during the day. I then store it overnight upside down on the tissue to allow the fluid to drain.

You can also blow though the battery, but you have to do this from the end with the LED.

I only clean my atomiser when I notice the draw becoming harder.

So far in almost 3 months now, I havent lost a single atomiser, so I must be doing something right....lol
