What's your technique? Do you inhale or not?

[MadHacker]

If I have been busy and hadn't vaped in a while... like 10 minutes...
I draw into my mouth, inhale to my lungs, then while I exhale out my nose I draw into my mouth,
I do this 5 or 6 times then carry on with what ever I was doing...

My first pull, I draw into my throat and mouth, then push it slowly out of my mouth and inhale it through my nose into my lungs, and exhale from my mouth. After that my nose and sinuses tingle quite good, and I just throat and mouth pull before inhaling into my lungs.

I find it depends a lot on the juice. Some taste better vaping like a pipe, some better like a cig (lung draw). If it's a strong juice I usually vape like a pipe (mouth draw then inhale).

So, what's everyone's technique.

I just basically use what was said on the technique article on this site:

"

• Draw (ie drag or pull) very, very lightly in comparison to a cigarette.
• Pull the vapor into the mouth, not the lungs.
• Draw for an extended length of time – for at least 3 seconds. This because for a 1-second draw, the atomizer does not heat up fully, and also because there is not as much nicotine in the vapor as in cigarette smoke.
• Hold the vapor in the mouth for 2 seconds, then inhale, then exhale very slowly through the nose.
• If you have trouble doing a long pull with just the mouth, then draw using the mouth only for one pull, using the lungs for the next.
• Use the ecigarette for twice as long as a tobacco cigarette lasts you."

Here's the whole article if you want to see it: User technique - ECF InfoZone

That's basically my technique. So, what's your technique and your experiences using different techniques?

That's pure BS. Do smokers do that? Ridiculous. Sure, if you were a cigar or pipe smoker. But it's not those people who are quitting and starting vaping. Being a former smoker, I've always had to inhale anything I smoked. That's why cigars and pipes couldn't do it for me. Just vape it like you want to. You don't need some deuche telling you how to vape.

Pure lungs.

Sent from my SGH-M919

Um. Yeah....

My technique changed with the device...harder pull...softer pull...you get used to vaping at a optimal rate for the device to deliver optimal flavor and vapor....make sence?

95% of the time I draw into my mouth first then inhale. Sometimes I'll do a lung inhale with some air added through my lips to change things up a bit. Specially with minty juice.

 

[dylan199]

I pull through my mouth, exhale through my nose, pull through my mouth, inhale into lungs and then exhale. I get the most flavor this way.

I chain vape so I use all of the below- lung hit, draw,hold,nose exhale- nose inhale what ever works . Use what works for you if it works who cares just enjoy the vape. Happy vaping!

 

[NoNamesLeft]

I take direct lung hits till I can't take anymore in... Exhale through mouth... Sometimes nose... Tuhhh duhhh! Lol

I've heard this isn't the best way for nicotine absorption.... O'well guess I'll have to keep chain vaping.

No chew in over a month

My technique must be working

Same here. Must be working, haven't smoked in three weeks.

Inhaling into the lungs is probably why vaping worked for me when nothing else did, for 40+ danged years. That and 24mg juice. I pretty much do it like I did with a cigarette except I draw it into my mouth slower, hold a wee bit longer and then don’t inhale as deeply. If you don’t feel the need to inhale then don’t, who know what long term studies will show. Do what works for you to keep off the cigarettes, modify later.

Did get stuck on airplanes for over five hours yesterday and went right back to dragging on it like a cigarette before I calmed down though.

After smoking cigars I love the direct lung inhale.

 

[FishyRamen]

I'm running 8 watts on a Sigelei Vmax V3 with a Kanger Protank II and the throat hit from my lung inhale is pretty nice.

 

[Thamyris]

for me i never do lung hits, but as far as the draw time it depends a bit on the juice flavor, some seem to taste better at a lower wattage with a longer draw and some for me taste better on a higher wattage with short drags. getting a dryer vape from them.. hmm i never thought about it much.. heh

 

[Rat2chat2]

Every time I read something about the technique, I second quess what I am doing and think I am doing it wrong. I truly feel like I smoke it just like I did my cigarettes. I've been smoke free four and half months so I guess I am doing ok.

 

[bimmer88]

I always just draw real slowly... notice i always get better flavor and smoke that way...

 

[jamentertainment]

Quick mouth draw then the second is a lung..works better for me with rba's

Har har har!!! Dang that was funny!

They say that there is always a little truth in humor. In this case, I did a "Jimmy Durante" myself a few days ago - sorta by mistake. I was holding the mouthpiece of my Kanger unit very close to my right nostril trying to smell a new juice I had just loaded and vaped. I pressed the button to generate some vapor so, I could smell it a little better, but I guess I was trying too hard and sucked a plume right up my nose. Man oh man that stung! My eyes must have opened to twice normal size. Then I went "Woah!" and started laughing at myself. And yes, it DID clear up my sinuses.

On a more serious note, I find that I can sometimes "taste" certain flavors a little better when either doing a French inhale or exhaling through my nose. I sometimes also do a double hit - fill mouth, quick, short light inhale into lungs, second draw into mouth, complete inhale into lungs, hold a couple of seconds (or not), then exhale through mouth, nose or both.

This is one of the reasons I exhale vapor through my nose more than I did smoke.
