Inhale Or Puff?

[JordanVapes13]

Hello, I wanted to know if you guys inhale your vape or puff like a cigar?

I do mostly both. I inhale sometimes, and often I puff it like I would a cigar. I find that most times the feeling of the "nicotine buzz" is the same. However, I notice many people don't think that puffing like a cigar is the right way to vape even though supposedly nicotine is mostly absorbed by the mouth, nose, and throat when vaping.


What say you?

Inhaling directly into the lungs is called "direct to lung" or DL and puffing on it is called "mouth to lung" or MTL. There are people that do either and certain setups are geared best for one or the other. I personally am a DL or DTL vaper. Neither way is wrong, just a personal preference.

I'm a puffer...which is not a MTL vaper, nor a DTL vaper...since you don't bring the vapor down into the lungs. Since I first started vaping in Nov. 2013...I've always just pulled the vapor into my mouth, held it there for a couple seconds, and then exhaled it through my nose and/or mouth. I don't inhale it to my lungs at all. There's no term, like MTL, DTL, etc., that applies to that way of vaping though. Some have suggested MTN (mouth-to-nose) or MTNM (mouth-to-nose-mouth)...but no 1 acronym has ever been decided upon.

I get great flavor and have never had any problems getting the nic I need either. Since I had my last ciggie, I've never even craved one. So...it definitely works for me...and for others, too, on ECF. More people have been switching over to not inhaling, in the last several years, too. If it works for you, it's a perfectly good way to vape.

You're right about nic absorption being different when vaping than when smoking. With cigarette smoke...the nic in it is absorbed more readily in the lungs. The nic in vapor is more readily absorbed by the cheek cells, nasal passages, and sinus cavities.

I've been taking to nasal inhaling a lot more than normal lately. I think some people call that naping, but I just call it refreshing.

Yeah that's mostly how I do it! Sometimes I inhale but mostly I inhale through my mouth and exhale through my mouth and nose. I still taste the great flavors and still get a good nic buzz.

I'm a MTL vaper. IMO it's the closest to how I smoked.

And it cuts down on the cough and harshness quite a bit.

If you watch Phil Busardo's earlier videos, you can see him tilt his head slightly and count to himself for three seconds before inhaling.

Perfect demonstration of the MTL technique.

You can always try NTL, nose to lung. It burns like hell though. And looks kinda gross, sticking the drip tip in your nose that way.

You can always use one of those disposable nasopharyngeal tubes.

When is a survey not a survey?

@JordanVapes13 I say, the "nicotine buzz" seems overly important to you. Personally I vape not to smoke cigarettes not to get a "nicotine buzz" so... what ever works for you not to smoke would be your right way to vape.

That would help cut down on some of the irritation for sure

Welcome JordanVapes13. As everyone else already said, there's no right or wrong way. I inhale DTL and then usually exhale slowly through mouth and nose to varying degrees. This seems to maximize the flavor. It requires a wide open atomizer that allows a lot of air flow. Trying to do DTL with a restricted atomizer is like struggling to breathe.

I vape just like I used to smoke. MTL, let it roll around a bit in my mouth & then suck it in. Then I exhale out through my nose.
Direct lung is for those that smoked that other stuff.

hey VA can you post a link for me? TIA, Nicolas

That would be much more pleasant than a NTL vape...

Ikr? A 510 drip tip would fit nice and snug there at the opening.

I used to do DTE (device to ear) but found the flavour was lacking on the exhale.

So, a tootlepuffer doesn't inhale?

I always inhale since I use dentures; much of my soft tissue is smothered. I do occasionally exhale through my nostrils for a punchier nic hit.lol
