vaping techniques

[holtyh]

Good evening vapors

So I'm new to the vaping scene and popped into a vaping store nearby recently.
After chatting with the bloke for a while he advised me to smoke my itaste v3 like a pipe, rather than the cancer stick method (inhale into mouth then again into lungs)

So this got me thinking and here I am..

So, how do you vape?!

I smoke mime like a pipe but inhale most of the time

[Carpe Vapor]

Yeah I draw into my mouth inhale then draw again into my mouth inhale then let out the biggest cloud you ever did see lol.

Joking aside the majority of the nicotine is absorbed whilst the vapour is in your mouth as opposed to your lungs.

Is a pipe smoked just into the mouth and not the lungs? I dont find this gets my fix

[Carpe Vapor]

Most ex-smokers still like to get the throat hit from inhaling. They feel like they have smoked when they get that hit.

Smoking a pipe isn't meant to be inhaled, but I'm pretty sure my grandad used to inhale (some) of it.

Is that true?? I thought the main place of absorbsion was the lungs

Sorry I cannot cite a source, but I know I watched a video with some professor guy on about it, and it is definitely the mouth where most nicotine (whilst vaping) is absorbed.

Same here, into my mouth, swish it round for a second to grab some extra flavour, inhale to my lungs and then out.

This isn't the article I read but is along the same lines

Apparently because vaping is vapour rather than smoke, the mucous membranes take most of the nicotine before the vapour hits the lungs.

Learn something new everyday I guess! Its quite interesting to see the different techniques people prefer, especially being a newbie like myself

I don't think i would qualify as your granddad yet, however when I was smoking, I was a pipe man myself and did indeed on occasion inhale .....it all depended on what I was smoking at the time. (if you think vaping is confusing, trust me the various niceties of pipe smoking are extensive!!)

I tend to do a double draw, 1st into the mouth(known as a mouthal hit) then as the second goes in some of the first exhales through the nose, and then into the lungs
I sometimes, on my Dripper do a lung hit where you inhale direct to the lungs, but this only really works when the draw is "loose" or airey. You do tend to get a bigger nic hit on these types of draws. And peeps doing this a lot tend to lower their nic levels

I just put it in my mouth and get as much out as I can in one long suck. Works for me
