Vaping for the first time doesn’t have to be tricky. It’s best to remember to take it slow with short puffs until you get the hang of it.
There are two basic techniques to inhale a vape. Mouth to lung (MTL) and direct lung (DL). Which technique one uses is mostly determined by the type of vaporizer they use.
MTL hits are best when using a small vape pen or pod with high resistance coils. These types of vaporizers typically will offer a very tight draw. Some of these devices may have an adjustable air intake to ensure the best hits and flavor transfer. These vapes offer a minimal amount of vapor, but the throat hits are similar to what one would expect from smoking a cigarette. This requires a slow long draw, while holding the vapor in your mouth before inhaling and then exhaling slowly.
DL hits are optimal when using larger vapes with atomizers containing low resistance coils typically found on box mods or mechanical mods. These types of vaporizers tend to create more bounteous vapor clouds. With a DL hit one will draw from the mouthpiece directly into their lungs and exhale rather quickly because of the sheer amount of vapor drawn into the lungs.
Once you choose the best types of vaporizers for the experience you are specifically looking to achieve, you will understand when to take deep long hits or short puffs.
