How to inhale vape

Although smoking and vaping have many differences, the inhaling part is very much the same — as this provides a smoking experience you are used to and is a crucial reason why many people successfully quit smoking with a transition to vaping. Therefore, if you are or were a smoker, you will already know how to inhale vape. However, it’s essential to get it right as inhaling vape incorrectly can be an unpleasant experience due to coughing and a sudden rush of nicotine.

With that said, because there are varying vape kits and vape juice strengths, your ideal inhalation technique will vary. So, if you want to know how to inhale vape, the two most common techniques are as follows.

Mouth to lung

Mouth to lung inhaling is a simple technique where you:

Draw vapour into your mouth slowly (for a few seconds)

Hold the vapour in your mouth briefly

Open your mouth and inhale the vapour into your lungs. Not to be confused with swallowing.

Exhale!

This technique is better suited to smaller vape devices with high resistance coils when using high nicotine. Regardless of the device’s size, vaping with this technique will provide a similar feeling to regular smoking, which helps with transitioning over to vaping and improves your chances of satisfying cravings.

Direct lung

A ‘direct lung’ inhale tends to be better suited for large vapes with low resistance coils that use low nicotine. Although this type of draw does produce the most vapour, it’s easy to handle and smooth because it’s used primarily with zero or low nicotine. All you have to do is:

Quickly draw the vapour directly into your lungs

Exhale immediately
