Probably the silliest of questions

[Genie36]

This is probably the silliest of questions. As a complete beginner of vaping, do I actually inhale the vapour like a cigarette or just suck it? When I tried to inhale it made me cough a lot. I have been smoking for very many years although I smoke the lowest tar cigarette that is possible to buy. I smoke between 10 to 15 a day but I really need to find a healthy alternative and I think I might have found it if only I knew how use it. Many thanks for any advice forthcoming. Kind regards.

What is your mg

you can do either a lung inhale ( staright down into lungs ) or like a normal smoker where you take it into moth first then inhale.
if you smoked low tar you may find your juice is a little high nic content.
what nic content juice are you using. to give an idea i was a 20 a day smoker and started on 18mg nic now i vape 12mg. you may find also the cough is also a side affect if your not smoking or it could be down to the mix of the juice ( some people get dry throat /cough when using a high PG content juice)

take a long slow drag and let the vapour fill your mouth, then inhale.
If you pull to hard and fast and into the lungs it will make you cough, also depends on the juice your vaping, some can be more harsh than others.

Looks like you may need a low nic liquid,and when your buying liquid look at something called the PG/VG mix,you will be better of with a liquid that is high in vg as this will be kinder to your throat,inhale into the mouth like a cig and then in to your lungs,hope this helps.

take it into your mouth then to lung at first then once you got the knack you can do full on lung hits

try pressing the button a second or two before you start to inhale this will heat the juice and start vapourising. then take long slow draws on the cig. hold it in your mouth a few seconds then inhale to the lungs.
if you try and smoke it like a cigarette you will be pulling the air too fast and then you will end up with a mouth full of juice.
if your machine starts gurgling slow the pull down.you will get the knack quickly. as for the coughing i think every new vaper goes through this at the beginning its a mixture of your lungs taking on a new substance and clearing out the old. also you maybe on too high a nicotine as said above try an 11 or 12mg and also try a juice with a higher vg content. ( pg base gives you more flavour and throat hit where as vg base is a cooler hit with more vapour production ) .
stick with it you will soon feel the benefits and good luck were all behind you.

No, you don't have to inhale to get the nicotine use it like a pipe smoker

This.
I've found even hardcore smokers can cough when they first try vaping. Don't know what it is. I just put it down to something new and different being inhaled. Soon goes though.
Only other thing I'd mention is that a high PG ratio can cause a sore throat in some.
