What are the different vaping techniques?

Mouth-to-Lung (MTL) involves inhaling vapor into the mouth first, resembling traditional smoking, with a tighter draw and higher nicotine levels. Direct-to-Lung (DTL) skips the mouth-hold, providing an airier draw, increased vapor production, and lower nicotine levels. 

Direct Lung Inhale (DLI) entails a forceful, rapid inhalation directly into the lungs, often associated with high-wattage vaping. Cloud Chasing emphasizes large vapor clouds, utilizing high-power devices, low-resistance coils, and high VG e-liquids. Ghost Vaping, on the other hand, focuses on discreet exhalation, allowing vapor to dissipate quickly. 

How to do it?

Technique	How to do it
MTL	Take a slow and steady draw into your mouth, allowing the vapor to linger briefly, and then inhale it into your lungs.
DTL	Inhale deeply and directly into your lungs without holding the vapor in your mouth.
DLI	Take a forceful and quick inhale directly into your lungs, similar to a deep breath.
Cloud chasing	Use DTL technique but focus on exhaling slowly and steadily to produce large vapor clouds.
Ghost vaping	Inhale the vapor as usual, but control the release by exhaling slowly and dispersing the vapor quickly.

What are the benefits of each vaping technique?

Technique	Benefits
MTL	Simulates smoking.  Higher nicotine absorption.
DTL	Lower nicotine levels. Increased vapor production.
DLI	Intense vapor hit. Suitable for sub-ohm devices.
Cloud chasing	Allows for fine-tuning devices for maximum cloud production. Ideal for those who enjoy producing large and dense vapor clouds.
Ghost vaping	Attracts less attention when vaping in public. Discreetness.

Which vaping technique is right for me?

If you're transitioning from smoking and prefer a similar sensation, MTL might be suitable. If you enjoy producing large vapor clouds and a more direct lung inhale, DTL or DLI could be a good fit. It´s recommended to search for vaping trends to stay updated in the latest techniques.

For a discreet experience with minimal vapor visibility, Ghost Vaping is an option. Experimenting with different techniques will help you discover which one aligns best with your preferences and vaping goals.

Vaping tricks to learn

 

Some of the vaping tricks that you can learn include the French inhale, the Lung hit and the Snap inhale, these tricks will help you improve your vaping sessions.

1. French inhale

The French Inhale, also known as the "Irish Waterfall," involves exhaling vapor through the nose while inhaling it through the mouth. To perform this trick, take a slow drag, let the vapor pool in your mouth, and then gently push it out through your nose.

2. Lung hit

The Lung Hit, or "Direct Lung Inhale," is a technique where you inhale the vapor directly into your lungs, skipping the traditional mouth-to-lung approach. This technique is popular among cloud chasers as it allows for more substantial vapor production.

3. Snap inhale

The Snap Inhale, also known as the "Ghost Inhale" or "Snap Ghost," involves creating a burst of vapor and quickly inhaling it back. To perform this trick, release a small burst of vapor from your mouth and immediately snap it back in with a quick inhale.

Vaping techniques FAQs

What are the best e-liquids for each vaping technique?

Choose the best e-liquids based on your vaping technique:

• MTL (Mouth-to-Lung): Higher nicotine salts with a higher PG ratio; try tobacco, menthol, or dessert flavors.
• DTL (Direct-to-Lung): Lower nicotine levels, higher VG ratio; go for fruity or dessert flavors.
• DLI (Direct Lung Inhale): Similar to DTL, choose lower nicotine levels and a high VG ratio; experiment with bold flavors.
• Cloud Chasing: Max VG e-liquids, low nicotine; select flavors that enhance cloud production.
• Ghost Vaping: Nicotine salts with higher nicotine levels; opt for a balanced PG/VG ratio and discreet flavors.

What are some common vaping mistakes to avoid?

• First and foremost, prioritize proper battery care by using the correct charger and checking for any signs of damage. Ensure your coils are primed to prevent dry hits, and adjust wattage within the recommended range for optimal performance. 

• Match your e-liquid with your device and vaping style to avoid issues like leaks or poor flavor. Resist the temptation of chain vaping to prevent device overheating, and maintain a clean device by regular cleaning to avoid residue buildup. 

• Familiarize yourself with Ohm's Law for safe coil builds, and choose the right nicotine level to suit your preference. Store your e-liquids properly in a cool, dark place and invest in quality vaping products from reputable sources. 

• Lastly, don't forget to regularly clean and maintain your device to prolong its lifespan and ensure consistent performance.
