Direct inhaling a better flavour experience

[grizwald56]

I do'nt know about you guys but my taste buds are so shot that I hardly taste juices when doing a normal mouth inhale, like I did when I was a smoker. When I do a mouth inhale I get a weak taste of the juice I'm vaping for the first 2 pulls, then nothing, I might as well be sucking air. But I learned a pretty neat vaping method from over on the ECF forum when I first started vaping and will try to explain it to you.

What you do is, when you take in your vapour leave your airways to your lungs open and allow some of the vapour to go directly into your lungs, do'nt force it as it will feel as if your sucking through a pin hole, just allow what will flow naturally. You still do an inhale as you do now but on the exhale you'll taste more of the flavour of your juice and the flavour will be more consistent. This does take a little practice but after a day or so will start to feel natural, and after a few days will become second nature.

Also try taking draws on your e-cig from either side of your mouth, I find that drawing through the left side of my mouth produces the best flavour for me.

This method seems to benefit long term ex-smokers who's taste buds are really bad. I've shown this method to a few people who had trouble tasting their juices and it worked for them.

So give it a try if your taste buds are bad, you never know.

I've been trying that even before you mentioned it and it makes me cough a lot lol.

[River]

would you believe.it does taste better
the only downside for me is and this might sound strange is that it tickles??

[collie2011]

It does tickle, that's what makes me cough, also makes me a little light headed.

[grizwald56]

Yes it tickled for me to for the first week, try allowing less vapour into your lungs to start with and then work up.

Griz, I don't get you..sorry to appear stupid but I honestly have read it loads of times but really don't get what you mean

[River]

when you inhale vape as if you were hyperventilating in a bag?

[grizwald56]

Sorry guys but it is easier to show someone than try to explain, but here goes anyway.

When you take a drag on your e-cig normally you take the vapour into your mouth first and then inhale the vapour into your lungs, so it all collects in your mouth first.

Well the only difference is that you leave your airways open so that some of the vapour is allowed to be inhaled directly into your lungs, rather like when you take a sharp intake of breath, but much more gently. Do'nt try to take all the vapour straight down as that will feel as if your sucking through a pin hole and wo'nt feel comfortable.

As I said it's much easier to demonstrate than try to explain, perhaps someone else can offer a better explanation than I can. All I know is that you get a better flavour hit this way.

It does take a little practice but after a day or two becomes natural.

[grizwald56]

Do'nt have a web cam at the moment so can't do a demo. Sorry!

[AndnAnge]

It's ok griz, pulling your leg cause I really still can't see what you mean still ... I know it's frustrating

[River]

put the ecig to your mouth but dont inhale as if were smoking a real fag
inhale like you would breathe

[grizwald56]

Have you ever used a snorkel when swimming, well it's similar to using one.
