My girlfriend and I were recently having this discussion and we both seem to have different definitions.

To her:
1. A mouth inhale is taking the vapor into your mouth, maybe letting it hit the back of your mouth/throat and exhaling. The way cigar smokers are supposed to smoke. This is how she vapes and she gets a lot of vapor coming out.

2. A lung inhaling is going from mouth into lungs. The longer you hold it in it becomes stealth.

We both agree on the stealth part.

To me:

A. A mouth inhale is what she considers a lung inhale. First into the mouth and then the lungs.

B. A lung inhale is breathing it in the way you would air. Straight from PV to lung without being collected in the mouth first.

I always do a 2 or A and as a result don't get nearly as much vapor coming out as she does.

We're not trying to win any debates with each other, just get in sync with the rest of the vaping community on terminology.

MTL, is like sipping from a glass. Or if you will like puffing on a pipe or cigar, pull into mouth and blow out. Or a cigarette pull into mouth then inhale then exhale.
Lung Hit, taking the whole glass in one gulp. Or inhaling directly to the lung. Like taking a breath

in both cases the vapor ends up in the same place, when inhaled, the lungs...

Stealth is when you hold the hit long enough for the vapor to dissipate in the lung or mouth before blowing it out.

mouth to lung is a 2 step process, first inhale to the mouth and hold then inhale to lungs
lung inhale is to draw and inhale completely with no pause
stealth is the results of holding the vape in the lungs to reduce the amount on exhale

exhaled vape density and volume also depends highly on lung volume too...

and to cause you a bit more confusion I do a MTN (mouth through nose). I draw it into my mouth and exhale through my mouth and nose. I try not to pull any of it into my lungs. Some, I am sure, ends up in there but I don't purposely pull it into my lungs. Since nicotine can be absorbed through the mouth and nose I see no reason to abuse my lungs any more than I had already done with smoking for so long.

I am with Bunnykiller as to M2L and lung inhales.
