Direct Lung Inhale - Safe/Unsafe - Whats Yours?

[riddlesmyth]

Hey hi all, Me again...37 hours of quitting, Got my first satisfaction few moments ago by direct lung inhaling, I was vaping but with cigarette cravings with it, First time in this quitting period felt aaaah....Something gone to lungs, Satisfaction.

So my question here, Do you inhale direct lungs, is it safe to do? or Mouth to lungs as cigarettes, Used to vape mouth to lungs always but less satisfaction and more hours to vape, thanks for reading

Direct lung hits are what got me that first sensation of satisfaction as well. I don't believe either style of vaping is any more harmful than the other. Whatever keeps you off smokes is the right way.

MTL didn't work for me. At all.

DL had me off smokes first pull ever and everyone since.

I had been a mouth-to-lung vaper for the first four years of vaping. A low wattage, normal-ohm vaper. A Tootle Puffer.

Since I began building sub-ohm coils for rebuildable atomizers, my technique has progressively changed more to a direct lung hitter. I view this simply as a progression in my vaping habits; after all, I once said that I would never sub-ohm.

I no longer enjoy my Kayfun Lite+ because the draw is too restricted. I enjoy wide bore drip tips and wide open airflow.

I love my DL sub ohm vaping have not heard of it being any more dangerous. Find it a lot more satisfying.

That's kind of a loaded question. We don't know if there's really any harm from vaping e-cigarettes. What we say is that it's "at least" 95% safer than cigarettes. That last 5% is an unknown. It's a catch-all, that we just leave there, "just in case." That doesn't mean they are necessarily fully 5% as harmful, just, (probably) not any more than that. Could be less. Could be a lot less. Could be zero. Is it zero? We don't know. So far, there is exactly zero evidence of harm. Does that mean there's no chance of harm? No, it just means that so far, there's no evidence of any. If it should turn out in the future that there is some as-yet undiscovered risk, then it seems an obvious conclusion that direct-to-lung style vaping, since it exposes you to a greater volume of vapor, would therefore pose a greater risk than the comparatively reduced vapor volume associated with the mouth-to-lung style. But that's only if there's a risk in the first place, and we have yet to see any evidence that there is such.

Still waiting for someone to tell me how they get vapor directly into their lungs without going through the mouth...................

I remember when you 1st posted something like this. Never thought I'd see that day you were no longer a TP.

Yes, although it's usually done with beer using a funnel and tubing.

Do i inhale like that - yes.

Is it safe to do - dunno, but it worked for me. Safer than smoking for sure; not safer than Alpine air and some Swiss tart singing the Sound of Music to me.

Like Baditude, it never started like that, because at the time there wasn't the equipment to be able to vape that way - but as adults we are allowed to enjoy ourselves now and then?!
(i'm married - so don't answer that). 'New coil?? No problem, yes dear, of course, right this minute, yes , i only live to serve you dear'

Here's where it gets different: i make my own juice and my own coils, so i have a lot more total control over ingredients in the liquid and so on. It's that control that gives you the confidence in the safety - plus you know your own body.
After a month of no smoking, all that wheezing and morning cough - that was over - you just don't get that anymore.

I started vaping with MTL. Cut down on analogs immediately but continued to smoke and vape for 6 months. At first I felt pretty strongly that I would never DTL however I eventually noticed that I constantly searched for more of a satisfying sensation so became open minded to it. I eventually read a post on ECF that talked about DTL and that if someone wanted to try it, to give it a real try. Not just take a vape or two and write it off but to instead give it a chance by trying it a few times in row. Low and behold a week later I noticed that I hardly vaped MTL anymore and a week later realized I was strictly a DTL vaper and also was ready to quit analogs because I no longer needed them.
Whatever works is what counts.

I am quite surprised that I like the direct to Lung hits. I feel like I have also cut the vape with more air. It's weird. I feel like I could cut down on nicotine as well.

I wish someone could explain how you get vape directly into your lungs without it going through your mouth.

Do you inhale direct lungs, is it safe to do?

I guess you are asking for opinions (since there are no studies comparing the safety of direct lung inhaling versus mouth to lung that I am aware of.)

My OPINION is that if you are trying to quit smoking, you should take your chances and accept whatever risks we know about or don't know about with vaping.

Vaping is considered harm reduction from smoking. Nobody knows if it is harm-free (never heard anyone say it is either).

But we do know that cigarettes are quite *unsafe*.


My story: while I was in the throes of quitting cigarettes, the first year, I vaped how I needed to.

After I was sure I was off the cigs, I started to adjust the way I vaped, i.e. my goal the 2nd / 3rd year was to vape as risk-free as possible. So I stopped vaping anything with acetyl proprianol and DA just based on the studies I read and the suspicions that some flavorings "might" be inhalation risks (which we still don't know for sure) and also, based on the "less is more" philosophy of moderation (which I believe in overall for life in general) I was gradually able to vape less ml per day, etc. and put less of everything into my (already assaulted from smoking) lungs in general. My natural inclination is to not over-do anything, so eventually getting to 0% nic and 3ml per day has met my own personal goals. Quitting vaping at some point is on the horizon.....not sure how close or far though LOL

Everybody has a goal or desire and they should do what they think is best for themselves though.

Is the OP even still with us?

I think your goals are good. With this DL vaping I can cut down a lot in nicotine .

Sadly there seems to be a lack of vaping related scientific studies. However there was one that I recall which concluded that in vaping the majority of the nicotine is absorbed in the mouth and sinus as the molecules in eCig vapor are to large to be absorbed well by the lungs.

On a personal note after 4 decades of smoking and 1.5yrs of vaping I'm still coughing up stuff all day everyday. The difference now is that it tastes like vaping juice and not like the crud burning cigarettes left behind.

So in my mind inhaling anything other than clean fresh air into your lungs has got to be less healthy.

I own and use a wide range of devices. Everything from a pen like EVOD to TFV4's. I use a similar vaping style for all the devices.

Low output devices (like the EVOD) get loaded with 18-24mg juice and I'll take a multi-second (3-5s) direct lung hit. Higher output devices get loaded with 7-12mg juice and I'll take a 1-3s direct lung hit.

I always exhale through the noise.
