Naturally, newcomers who are ex-smokers will try to use an e-cigarette in the same way as a tobacco cigarette, especially since e-cigarettes resemble a regular tobacco cigarette.

Using regular tobacco cigarette inhaling techniques doesn't work well, as the two things may look similar but functional very differently.

A Step-By-Step Guide to Proper Vaping Techniques

E-Cigarette vapor is not drawn directly into the lungs, as many smokers do with a tobacco cigarette. Instead, the vapor is first drawn into the mouth, using the cheeks to create a vacuum, and then inhaled if desired.

Inhaling the vapor is optional. The vapor doesn't have to be inhaled for the nicotine to still be delivered.

  1. First, very slowly and gently draw the vapor into your mouth (not your lungs), then hold it there for a second or two after which it can be inhaled if desired nut flavored e juice. Then, expel the vapor through the mouth or nose. A hard pull, as is normal with a cigarette, cannot be used since:
    1. The heater coil doesn't work properly unless air is drawn across it gently for several seconds.
    2. There won't be any nicotine in the vapor if a short hard pull is used.
    3. It may pull liquid into your mouth.

With an e-cig you draw into the mouth for between 4 seconds and 8 seconds (yes, 8 seconds), depending on the device, how strong the liquid refill is, and how expert the user is; the average draw length is probably 4 or 5 seconds. As you can see, a slow and gentle 'suck' of 5 seconds bears no resemblance at all to the sharp, hard lung inhale of 1 or 2 seconds used with a cigarette.

  1. While it is not necessary for you to inhale when using an e-cigarette to obtain nicotine, expelling some through the nose as after a very shallow inhale will add to the nicotine delivery tobacco flavors. Simply holding the vapor in your mouth suits some people, especially with those who use a high-strength liquid

While getting used to e-cigarettes, ex-smokers also need to beware of old habits:

  • Try hard not to apply an actual lighter to the tip of your e-cig. No flame is needed!
  • Try to refrain from flicking ass off the end of your e-cig. You'll avoid looking stupid.
  • Absolutely, try really, really hard not to throw your e-cig out of the car window after finishing with it.
