What's your technique?

When you inhale, how do you do it?

I asked this "over there", and I got some pretty interesting replies.

I've always drawn the vapor into my mouth, and then inhaled. I used to love French-inhaling with analogs, and this is about the only way to do it.

The very first time I ever took a drag off of an analog, I inhaled directly into my lungs, and promptly coughed for about 15 minutes. Never did that again!

That just kinda carried over to vaping.

Every once in a while, for more flavor, I'll inhale directly, but I usually end up with a scratchy throat for a while after that. I don't do it often.

It depends. Attys with small airflow like nautilus, protanks, CE4s I hit it like a cigarette like how you mentioned. On mech mods and RDAs I inhale BIIIIIG straight into the lungs, like a hookah.

How I hit it is also where i draw the line between an "eCig" and a "Vape"

I tend to draw the vapor into my mouth first and go from there

I use very airy tank and now RDAs but my nautilus I usually draw into my throat then inhale like a cig. If you have a tight draw it's not going to be good for a straight lung hit. The plume veil gets way too hot to not lung hit lol. I use the kanger aero v2 and I can lung hit that tank when the airflow is opened. It mostly depends on your setup.

I use a Kanger Giant, and it goes right into the lungs, unless Im chasing flavor, then I do mouth hits with french inhaling then back out the nose so I hit the taste buds and my taste glands better.

Ooh, I like that! Though on my Nautilus I'm getting a slightly "cooked" aroma on my exhale.

For the first year plus of vaping, I did mouth to lung inhales. Now I only do straight lung inhales. I find the added amount of vapor I'm able to take in that way greatly increases the satisfaction and craving reduction for me.

Do you have your nautilus on the biggest air hole? If you close it down a little you will draw in more juice to the coil and should end up with more flavor.

 

[Celtic Fog]

I started changing my coils every fourth day now so I avoid the cooking of the wics, love the coil systems, wish they were bigger though.

 

[Breeezy]

I also just bought their .8 coils and they work very nicely. But that's also getting towards a warmer vape which from the sounds you wouldn't like that emilie.

Edit: my bad that's for the kanger.

 

[Emilie]

On my Nautilus I go between the second largest and second smallest holes. It seems I need one between the two.

Depends...tanks and clearos are mouth2lungs; most drippers are lung-slammers. I prefer lung-slamming for the flavor and draw volume
