Why does my vape make a whistling noise?

Although inhaling too firmly when vaping is mainly a problem that you might face if you're using a mouth-to-lung vaping device, it's also possible to use too much air pressure when inhaling directly to the lungs.

If you get e-liquid in your mouth when inhaling, it means that you're using too much air pressure. A mouth-to-lung vaping device has very tight airflow. If you try to draw air through your tank or pod too quickly, the atomizer coil will flood. If the atomizer coil is flooded, the excess e-liquid has to go somewhere. It'll either squirt into your mouth, or it'll leak out the bottom of the tank or pod. Inhale gently to prevent that from happening.

Is vaping easy?

Vaping is very easy to do, but don't ever let anyone tell you that it's as easy as smoking. When you light a cigarette, it practically smokes itself. Since a cigarette burns down on its own whether you puff on it or not, you'll figure things out very quickly. Vaping, on the other hand, isn't exactly the same because you're dealing with an electronic device. That makes them just like the other gadgets in your life in that they offer multiple configuration options – and whenever a gadget offers multiple configuration options, there's always a chance that you'll configure it in a way that isn't ideal for your needs. Learning how to vape is an absolutely essential part of having a good vaping experience, and a major part of that is learning how to inhale properly.
