Vaping techniques

[timnowvapes]

.........right.

I have just discovered something. Upon my cleaning of my clearomizer, and holding my little button down to make the coil glow nice and red, it dawned on me, the longer you hold the button down, the longer the draw, the more flavour and the more vapour and possibly throat hit you might get.

Well duh!

My, "it's okay", mega juice mix in my Vision 3 rebuildable Clearomizer, has now gone from "it's okay", to - "whoa".

We go from smoking:

-put cig / rollie in mouth, suck, breath in, breathe out.

.....have vaping device - do the same thing, it works, but there is a technique that needs to be mastered, there is a massive difference in it just working, just having a quick draw / drag, just being okay, okay isn't good, it isn't great, it is just okay, so it's not really okay? Okay? You with me?

Can people just hint at their active vaping techniques, as I'm sure this will be very useful in the future and for newbies - I've just gone from a 5 out of 10 to a 9 out of 10 by changing the way I Vape

it means those who aren't getting the best of x / y / z device might just need to get their technique right Would make a massive difference to the overall effect and Vaping experience

either that or just tell me to shut up, and I'm dreaming it!

You're not dreaming it Tim, the technique is definitely different. Long, slow breathe in. Hold in the mouth and throat (no need to take it right down into the lungs) and exhale through the nose. Bootiful

Oh flip me...............I've just done as you typed, major difference how stupid is all of this, just one little tweak on how things are used.

wonder how many have spent and spent trying to get what the above gives for free?

Edit: got to add, just tried it again, the flavour hit is incredible, this mix I am using which is RY-4+Karoffee-Kick+Banana+Vanilla Ice Cream - you get the tobacco camamel flavour, with the deep coffee taste, mixed in with the sweet banana and vanilla, then as I breathe out, the cooling effect is enhanced (the cooling is added to the Vanilla Ice Cream - almost anaseedy. Wow!

press the button for 2 elephants then inhale let button go before you stop inhaling, Nirvana

[timnowvapes]

How large are the elephants, and which Nirvana album?

Have you tried the short puff long puff technique ?

Take one short puff to get the atty/clearo going, puff out the vapour then take a long inhale.

One of my sons was a sip smoker. You know the type that hardly put the ciggie in their mouth, quick sip then exhale. He did the same with his e-cig until his older brother showed him how to actually use it.

I do this but inhale the first puff and exhale this through my nose while drawing in the longer second puff.

(I'm sure this must be fairly common, right?)

[Takshaka]

With my Argento I have a sort of circular breathing thing going on... clouds of vapour billowing from my nose as I inhale loooooooooooong and slow. Not sure whether it's good for the electrics but boy is it satisfying

Can't do that so much on a Twist as the 10 sec cutout is much shorter than the length of draw I use for that technique

[Gordy]

it depends on device as to how i vape...
odysseus/penelope - chug 2 or 3 draws with the last all the way inhaled
genesis - long smooth inhale

also depends on what juice i vape... some taste/smell great by doing a french inhale / irish waterfall.... try it on some of your juices and it gives you a totally different experience

I wish I could learn how to do this, I fear I might choke though lol

As for me... press button, bring to lips, very gently barely suck for 6-8 seconds, open gob and slowly inhale then exhale

[DiscoDes]

I'd recommend pressing the button for half a second before you actually start to draw. this gives the coil a chance top heat up first.

Maybe try this to get the hang of it: Make a drink with a straw. Inhale vapour. Start drinking through the straw before exhaling, and while taking a nice long suck through the straw, breathe naturally through your nose. As the vapour comes out, you should see how it makes sense to be exhaling and drawing something into your mouth at the same time.

[Cyberpixie]

I'll have to hunt around the house to see if I have any straws, would love to be able to do it. I watch in envy at video reviews when they do it!

For me the key is a long slow inhale and hold in mouth for a second. After that you can inhale as deeply or shallowly as you want and blow it out of whichever orifice you like
