what a Drag !! Whats your style/ technique "inhale" Everyones different. People are Strange

[razor4432]

Couple second draw into my mouth then inhale and exhale. Sometimes do a slow exhale sometimes fast, same thing I did when I smoked. I kinda like watching the vapor doing its thing when I exhale slowly.

 

[Abe_Katz]

10 to 15 seconds? Really?

Just tried that, and couldn't get past 5 seconds.

Yes I average around 12 seconds when I've actually timed myself. Of course I also smoked a pipe for nearly two decades rather than cigarettes. The smoking pattern between the two analog devices is quite different. Generally speaking pipe smokers try to not inhale too much of the smoke as stronger tobaccos are used.

Lung hits, all day every day. I smoked cigs the same way, from my first one to my last one.

If I don't lung inhale I get almost no taste in my mouth, low vapor, or any real throat hit. I have a very resilient set of lungs and throat that take a lot to give me a good hit. When I lung inhale its like I am only doing it with the top half of my lungs then when I inhale afterwards I get the rest of the hit to the bottom.

When I draw I make a very small pocket on the inside of my mouth to concentrate the vapor for maximum flavor sensation.

Mouth draws actually leave me with an unpleasant bitter aftertaste.

I'm strange, no?

Not sure if this has already been posted because I haven't read the whole thread.

But here is a poll regarding the direct inhale to lungs versus the inhale to mouth then lungs...

That's really interesting, and makes sense, now that I think about it some more. But leads to another question...

Are there a bunch of vapers here who do not inhale the vapor into their lungs, intentionally?

Yeah. My lungs have had a VERY long time to heal. Plus I'm vaping 1mg nic, so it's not exactly harsh.

 

[KNJ1019]

Ill do about a 3-4 second draw to the mouth, inhale, then immediately do the same thing, then exhale.

Yes, you are. Now go to your room and don't come out until you do it right.

I kid I kid. That's actually the same way I use an HH.357. It needs to be power hitted to work properly and my mouth is too small to get it to work properly using my normal technique, so I hit it hard until my lungs are close to half full and then inhale the vape the rest of the way. It's actually pretty smooth compared to attempting the same thing on something with an airy draw, which is kind of harsh and nasty. As well as it works for the HH.357, I'm not a fan because I'm so used to my slow, lazy, mouth draws, so won't be ordering another one.

Even though I draw from my mouth and then inhale just like with cigs, I still use quite a different technique than I did smoking. I fill my mouth with vape slower and longer than dragging a cigarette. I then breath the vape in shallower, past my throat and into my lungs just a little, then exhale slowly. Smoking I would breath the smoke in pretty deeply and blow the smoke out. I think smoking required a stronger exhale because smoke in eyes is no fun, but I enjoy a cloud of vape bathing my face.

The whole process is enjoyable and relaxing to me, probably why I treat my PV like a Binky and vape all the time.

I try not to inhale into my lungs most of the time nowadays.
I am worried about my silica wicks, and I don't feel inhalation into the lungs is exactly necessary.

But when I'm drinking, I inhale all the way down quite often.
Part of that is because I forget to care, and part of that is because when I'm drinking I really don't care.

I wish there were more information on the impact of silica wicks.
I would like to go back to deep inhalation.

Have you tried a piece of mesh in your drip tip to act as a screen? I have a bridge fitted in one for atties that tend to spit and it works great without effecting draw, I use it on my RBA too. Though silica could get past it I would think it would catch most of it.

I have about 60 of the standard 510 atomizers stocked up.
And I stocked up on them a few years back when the FDA was confiscating shipments, before they got beaten in court.

That 60 is what is left of the 75 or so that I originally stocked up on.


It is my choice, at this time to continue using them.
So I accept the risks, but wish I could have more information to help me make an informed decision.

If I have to modify them to help me stay healthy I guess I will do that.
But I was hoping my days of modifying had ended years ago.

Been there, done that, got the shirt.

I'm not sure that silica wicking is a major health threat (yes I do know it is a by product of fiberglass manufacturing), that said I will agree that lung inhalation is strictly speaking not necessary with vaping. The vapor droplets according Rolygate are 10 microns in diameter whereas smoke is around 1 micron in diameter. So inhalation through the lungs is much less efficient as far as getting nicotine into the blood stream in comparison to smoking.

That said the larger droplet size may make holding the vapor in the mouth more efficient than smoke for the same reason. I do know that the longer I hold the vapor in my mouth the more likely it is that I will get the "nicotine tingle". Much like I would get from snus (or other oral ST), though with vapor it is not concentrated into a single area.

4. E-Cigarette vapor is a water-based mist and not smoke. This has two main consequences:
a. The droplet size in vapor is ten times the particulate size in smoke (10 microns vs 1 micron). This means that cigarette smoke penetrates far more deeply into the lungs, travelling deep into the smallest passageways. Vapor cannot go anywhere near as deep, and this means that nicotine is not available so easily from the lungs, and is obtained more slowly.
b. It is likely that just as much nicotine is absorbed by the mucous membranes in the mouth and nose as within the lungs. In fact for maximum nicotine delivery, all three need to be employed: mouth, lungs, nose - otherwise all the nicotine cannot be delivered.

I pull a bit into my mouth, push it out in a little bubble and quickly inhale it... sometimes on the exhale i kinda pulse my breath slowly for some reason, its extreme

 

[Downtown]

So, oddly enough, mine depends on the day. In the morning, i like flavor to feeling like the god of TH came to punch a new one in my voice box, at night, I chain vape into my lungs, because the TH and nicotine knock me right the .... out. When I go outside however, I enjoy them like a cigar you inhale after letting it settle in your mouth for the flavor. To each their own, I'm out of my mind anyway

 

[Thompson]

Long & slow, around 5-7 seconds. Some times I pull it into my mouth then inhale, other times I'll just straight inhale (usually when drinking beer). Hold the vapor for a few seconds to help with nicotine ingestion.

Generally lower-mid Ω (AGAs are 1.6 - 1.7) @ 3.7 - 4v, 8-10 watt range. At least with this flavorless.

 

[SunnyMoon]

I seem to have 2 ways, first is the loooong, maybe 15 second pull into my mouth, then inhale and exhale. Then there's what my SO calls "dragon lady vaping", 3 or 4 short pulls in a row, inhale and exhale through my nose while pulling the next one into my mouth. My 10 year old thinks that way is funny.

 

[blaufisch]

An interesting question would also be "How has your inhalation technique changed when you switched to vaping?"

 

[adeline]

Long & slow, around 5-7 seconds.

I stopped reading there.

 

[DuffyA2Z]

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.

That's how I smoked 2 pad. I just need that instant throat hit ...so satisfying and probably why I was able to quit the cancer sticks in under 3 days. Nothing is bizarre imho ...what ever works man!

Now that I think of it I do have a bizarre quirk .... for over 20 years I diagnosed refrigeration circuits from 400v ac all the way down to 24v ac yet I'm still nervous about trying an rba!

 

[TH'er]

LOL that is Bizarre,
Since I'm also a HVAC/R Mechanic aswell.
