To take a hit from an elf bar, simply pull the vapour gently and steadily into your mouth. The proper technique to inhale an Elf Bar is as follows: Step 1: Inhale on the device steadily and slowly. Unlike normal tobacco cigarettes, you should not take fast and short pulls when puffing on an Elf Bar. The key to correctly inhaling a disposable vape is to take a slow and steady inhalation until your mouth fills with vapour. This is analogous to smoking a cigar. To get the most out of an Elf Bar, avoid sucking the vapour directly into your lungs. Step 2: Hold the vapour for a few seconds before exhaling. Hold the vapour in your mouth for at least 3 seconds after breathing it. Then suck it into your lungs or exhale it through your mouth and nose. Smoking regular tobacco cigarettes allow nicotine to enter the lungs. Of contrast, Elf Bars are absorbed first through the mucus membranes in the mouth and nose, followed by the lungs and nose. Step 3: Wait for the 'Hit.' It takes longer to feel the "hit" of vaping than it does of smoking traditional tobacco cigarettes. Whereas the "feel good" peak of regular tobacco smoking occurs in around 8-9 seconds, it takes at least 30 seconds to attain with the Elf Bar. This may be annoying at first, but it is something that can be adjusted to.
