Yes Sir, Did you smoke regular cigarettes the same way aswell?
I ask... Only because this is the First time in over 28yrs of experiencing this. Isn't that bizzare.. For me I think it is.

i do the mouth-then-lung drag like i do with a cigarette. however, i do straight lung hits when i smoke my hookahs (always going to full lung capacity).
When I smoked I always took the drag into my mouth and then inhaled (air) to pull that into my lungs.
I guess that's probably how I started vaping too.
Now, I do all kinds of weird stuff.
10-15 second draws straight into my lungs...
Couple second primer puff in my mouth followed by a long draw straight into my lungs...
Couple second draw, quick air inhale (mouth JUST comes off the drip tip for a split second.. dunno why), exhale through the nose while continuing to draw straight into my lungs, and repeat the exhale/inhale a couple times..
If I'm at work I take a couple second inhale to the lungs, followed by a couple second intake of air, hold it for a sec and then exhale basically nothing.
My usual draw, though is just a 4-6 second straight lung shot.
The scary thing is, I just vaped for a bit and made notes of what I was doing so I could reply to this post.

O.k. then seriously.
I draw in my mouth until it is full then continue another 2 seconds into my lungs, then inhale fast and hold it in a bit then slowly exhale. Depending on the setup the actual time this take varies greatly.

I was going to quote adeline but my tablet won't let (post is too long...won't scroll in the textbox)
Bottom line is I was going to say Ditto. Her way is what I do, too. Glad she explained it so I didn't have to figure out how to !

I draw into my mouth slowly, pause and inhale. I take a vape or 2 then put it down for a little bit then rinse repeat. I no longer crave an analog, if im without my battery I crave the PV and sometimes the juice.
Its known that you absorb the nicotine threw the mouth, throat and nose. Because of the size of the molicules its very difficult for the lungs to take them in to the blood stream, the molicules are much smaller from smoke. So exhaling threw the nose also helps.
With a person that is direct inhaling they wont absorb as much no matter how deep the inhales are. Most likely that is how he smoked and needs to do that to kill the cravings. It takes about 30 seconds for the nicotine to get to the brain from vaping. Where it only took 7 seconds from smoking.

Back when I was dealing with bad battery drain I would do the lung hit once in a while to get better TH. Now that things are sorted out, I always draw into my mouth then inhale. Usually, I take a 1 second drag, release the button and inhale a tiny bit, followed by a 2 second drag, then a 3 second with full inhale. Like a mix of cigar puffing and hot-boxing a cig.

Anybody else think people look creepy when they take a drag on their pv, particularly in video reviews? Am I alone on that one? I miss the squinty eyed James Dean / cowboy thing I had going with my marlboros.
I thought so at first, and even for my self finding the right part of my lips to hold it was strange, but now its no biggie. Im not finding it strange anymore.
I wonder if it tells what kind of personallity you are by what part of your mouth you use to vape, corner of the mouth, middle or half way between.
My SO smoked by taking very deep drags, would hot box the analog. he takes a few long vapes, tho im not sure if hes taking it into his mouth or straight threw. Ive never ask him. He will also exhale threw his nose while taking a new vape. He get mega vapor most times, much more than me.
Hes what I call a power vaper, im a petite vaper I guess lol.
I did too. I was like, "what are they doing." Especially when they exhale a massive plume out their nose.
When I did analogs I pulled in with my lungs. If I were to do that with vape I would choke. I guess now i do like most and draw into my mouth and hold it for a bit.
I normally take a nice long pull into my mouth, then inhale, and exhale. It's how I've always done it and tbh, I never put much thought into it. Just how I did things. Reading this, I tried taking a long pull straight into my lungs. WOW! @_@ I got a massive cloud on exhale, grinned, then proceeded with a nice coughing fit.
A coworker came by just to make sure I was ok. So much for stealth vaping.

Interesting thread. It reminds me that the couple (3? 4?) times I tried to stay off analogs before I found vaping ... that whole drag-smoke-into-mouth, then inhale it from mouth to lungs, long slow exhale thing was something I missed tremendously. Once, on patches, I even got one of those "fake cigs" to try to simulate draggin' on a cig. Trouble was, it was too airy and had no resistence. I stuffed some cotton in the filter. 
O. M. G. the lengths we go to for our habits.
Of course, then I found vaping and the world is a happy place! I do not miss the killer-cigs at all.
Oh! and on topic: Yeah, OP, I drag vapor the exact same way you do (which is also how I smoked cigs). Straight lung draw? Can't even imagine it.

I do an inhale into my mouth, puff (exhale all that out) and then 2nd inhale into my mouth, 3rd inhale into lungs, hold for a second and exhale.
Before vaping, I'm not sure how I smoked. Cause I'll still have occasional smoke (I'm around a pack every 2 weeks currently, no serious intention to quit) and vaping has changed how I smoke. I smoke for flavor now (yep, I enjoy flavor of smoke). So, I do the puff / inhale thing with smokes as well, and flavor is good. If anything, with smoking, I now take smaller drags cause it ain't about getting as much nicotine into my system for the 9 minutes I decide to brave the cold every couple hours. Instead, it's a bit more sacred and something I find enjoyment in, about once a day.
Occasionally, I'll try some other way of vaping, like what you all mention in this thread, but most of the time I'm going with habit I've ingrained and the puffing thing works well for me, I guess.

Typically I will take a long toot on my ego into my mouth. Generally I allow the vapor to stay in my mouth for 10-15 seconds before inhaling through the mouth and then exhaling through the nose. That said, I've also been known to do that without inhaling and allowing the vapor to slowly dribble (I guess thats the most accurate word) from my nose. However, I find doing that requires more thought than how I usually vape which is quite similar to pipe smoking.
That said my inhaling is still rather shallow and primarily for the purpose of exhaling the vapor through my nose. I find that I get far more nicotine through the mucosa lining my mouth, nose and throat than I could if I inhaled the vapor directly like one would with a cigarette.
