How to inhale Vape without coughing！

People who have never vaped before often think that vaping and smoking cigarettes are the same.

In fact, the way of inhaling is completely different. Many beginners encounter an awkward problem when trying e-cigarettes for the first time—they cough immediately after inhaling.This not only affects the experience but may also make you mistakenly believethat e-cigarettes "aren't suitable for you."In most cases, this is caused by improper inhalation methods or device settings.Today, we'll analyze in detail how to vape without coughing, helping you quickly adapt and enjoy a smooth vaping experience.

What are the differences between smoking cigarettes and vaping?

When smoking cigarettes, people usually take short and quick puffs. However, when using e-cigarettes, the inhaling method is longer and slower.

If you inhale hard on a cigarette, it burns faster and produces more smoke. But with an e-cigarette, forceful inhaling has almost no effect. To get more vapor, the only way is to hold the button longer or inhale for a longer time.

When starting to use e-cigarettes, it takes some time to adjust. Studies show that experienced vapers take longer inhales compared to new users, allowing them to absorb nicotine more effectively.

How to inhale when vaping?

Currently, most vapers choose the Mouth-To-Lung (MTL) method. This method is well suited for most low-power vaping devices used by many users. Compared to other inhaling methods, MTL provides an experience closer to traditional cigarette smoking.

Mouth-To-Lung (MTL) method:

1. Firmly close your lips and slowly and steadily inhale a puff, drawing vapor into your mouth.

2. Hold the vapor in your mouth until comfortable.

3. Slowly inhale the vapor into your lungs.

4. Exhale. Most people exhale through their mouth, but you can also choose to exhale through your nose.

This method causes less throat irritation and effectively reduces coughing.

How to do Direct Lung (DL) vaping:

1. Slowly inhale the vapor directly into your lungs.

2. Hold your breath as long as possible.

3. Exhale.

Direct lung inhaling is suitable for devices with strong airflow and e-liquids with a higher VG ratio.

Understanding the Causes of Coughing

Before finding solutions, we need to understand why coughing occurs. Common reasons include:

• Inhaling too forcefully: Beginners often use the same strength as smoking cigarettes to vape, causing the e-liquid vapor to irritate the throat.

• Nicotine concentration too high: High nicotine levels in e-liquid cause strong throat hits that trigger coughing.

• Too much airflow: Direct lung inhaling can easily irritate the throat.

• Device power too high: High power produces hotter, denser vapor, which increases irritation.

Inhaling and Coughing

Improper inhaling techniques can cause coughing.

For example, trying to do direct lung (DL) inhales on a device with restricted airflow may irritate your throat and cause coughing.

Using a large vapor-producing device for mouth-to-lung (MTL) inhaling might cause coughing due to excessive vapor volume.

From my experience, when I try to do MTL vaping on a DL device, the air characteristics during exhaling often trigger coughing.

Another cause of coughing is the air inhaled along with the vapor. Beginners may experience this due to nervousness, which might explain why experienced vapers cough less frequently.

To avoid this, make sure your lips form a tight seal around the vape, and inhale confidently.

Choosing the Right E-liquid is Also Crucial

• Nicotine concentration: Beginners are advised to start with 3mg freebase nicotine or under 20mg nicotine salt.

• Flavor selection: Mint and tea-flavored e-liquids tend to be less irritating and easier to vape.

• VG/PG ratio: High VG (e.g., 70VG) e-liquids are smoother, and low PG e-liquids cause less throat irritation.

The Most Suitable Way

There is no absolutely right way, only the technique that suits you best.

The secret to vaping without coughing lies in finding the inhalation method and e-liquid setup that works for you. By slowing down your pace and choosing the right device and e-liquid, beginners can quickly enjoy a smooth vaping experience. The greatest advantage of e-cigarettes is that you can customize them to your preferences. Enjoy vaping your way, and remember, the key to the experience is not “big, hard puffs,” but savoring the flavor of every single puff.
