6 Ways to Get a Quick Buzz from a Vape

If you’re a smoker or vaper, you’re likely to have experienced a buzz from smoking cigarettes or from vaping, and if you have, you’ll know how much of a pleasant feeling it can be.

However, if you’ve never had a buzz, you might be wondering how to get one – or if you’re no longer getting a buzz, you might want to know how to bring the buzz back.

To help, in this post, we discuss how to get a quick buzz from a vape to give you all the answers you need.

What is a vaping “buzz”?

If you’re new to vaping, especially if you never smoked traditional cigarettes before, you might never have experienced a buzz, so let’s start by talking about what a buzz is and why they happen.

The main reason people smoke – and get addicted to cigarettes – is nicotine, a drug that acts as a mild stimulant.

When you take a puff from a cigarette, you absorb nicotine from the smoke through your lungs, and the buzz you feel is the effect the drug is having on your body.

In some ways, a nicotine buzz feels somewhat similar to the feeling you get just after drinking a strong cup of coffee – but rather than just that racing feeling you get from coffee, many people also feel some mild euphoria and light-headedness.

The positive effects can often include some or all of the following:

• Headrush
• Dizziness
• Relaxation
• Happiness
• Mild euphoria
• Calmness
• Alertness
• Increased focus and concentration

A vaping buzz is essentially the same as a nicotine buzz from a traditional tobacco cigarette – if you are using a vape juice that contains nicotine, it will also give you a buzz.

But how can you get a buzz from a vape if you’ve never had one before? And what can you do to make the buzz more intense? Let’s have a look at this now.

How to get a buzz from a vape

1. Make sure you are using juice that contains nicotine

The first thing you need to do if you want to get a buzz from your vape is to ensure you’re using a vape juice that contains nicotine.

Many people use vaping as a way of transitioning away from cigarettes, and the main addictive component in cigarettes is nicotine – so for this reason, many vape juices contain nicotine to replace the nicotine found in tobacco.

However, more and more people are now taking up vaping who have never smoked cigarettes before, and for many of these people, vaping is just about the fun flavors and not the nicotine content in the juice.

As a result, many vape juices exist that are nicotine-free, and if there’s no nicotine in your juice, there’s no way you’ll ever get a buzz, however hard you try!

2. Hold the vapor in for longer before exhaling

Assuming that you have a vape juice that contains nicotine, the next thing you need to do is make sure you hold it in your lungs for a few seconds before you exhale.

If you just breathe in and then breathe out again, your lungs won’t have enough time to absorb much of the vapor – and this means not enough nicotine will reach your brain to give you a buzz.

On the other hand, if you hold your breath for a few seconds before exhaling, your lungs will absorb more vapor, allowing more nicotine to reach your brain – and this should give you a more powerful hit and a more noticeable buzz.

3. Use juice with a higher nicotine content

Since vapes are used to help people transition away from cigarettes – and in some cases, to help wean them off nicotine dependence altogether – vape juices exist with varying concentrations of nicotine.

This allows people to gradually reduce the amount of nicotine they ingest by buying progressively weaker products – but if you want to ensure you get a hit, you need to go the other way and buy something a bit stronger.

However, be careful when you do this because people quickly build up a tolerance to nicotine, and if you aren’t used to nicotine and start with the strongest vape you can find, it’s much more likely to make you ill than to provide you with a pleasant experience.

4. Experiment with MTL and DTL delivery systems

Some people find they can get a better buzz when using either mouth-to-lung or direct-to-lung delivery, so if you usually vape using one of these delivery types, you might consider trying the other type to see if it increases your buzz.

5. Adjust the airflow

If your vape allows you to adjust the airflow, this could be something else that improves your buzz – since if you can inhale more vapor with each puff, you can deliver more nicotine to your brain.

6. Clean your vape

Finally, if your vape is dirty, it can prevent you from receiving a good hit of vapor – and therefore of nicotine. This means giving your vape a good clean can also help improve the strength of the buzz you can receive from it.

Why can’t I get a buzz anymore?

What about if you used to be able to get a buzz but now it’s no longer happening?

1. People’s tolerance to nicotine increases quickly.

This is also a very common experience, and it’s due to something we just mentioned, namely, the fact that people’s tolerance to nicotine increases quickly.

If you’re a regular cigarette smoker, it’s unlikely that you ever feel nicotine buzzes anymore, or if you do, it’s likely to be when you smoke your first cigarette of the day – and this is all to do with how nicotine acts on the brain.

We don’t need to go deep into the science here, but essentially, when nicotine reaches the brain, it binds with receptors in the brain to create the buzz.

However, if you smoke frequently throughout the day, your receptors will be constantly full, and each time you have another cigarette, you are essentially just topping those receptors up.

When this happens, you can’t get a buzz because the receptors are already full, and once they are full, smoking more cigarettes won’t have any additional effect.

And the same is true if you vape.

It’s possible to get a buzz from a vape just the same as it is from smoking – but if you vape often during the day, the receptors that bind with the nicotine will constantly be full and won’t have space to accept more nicotine.

And when this happens, you will no longer be able to feel a buzz.

2. Low-quality E-liquids

One reason for flavorless vaping is some brands prioritize profits over quality. They use inferior e-liquids that dull users’ taste buds over time.

Unethical manufacturers also cut corners by adding unknown chemicals simply to enhance taste, without considering safety. These additives harm vapers’ palates when used long-term.

As taste buds become desensitized, vapers lose the ability to detect flavors. What once seemed flavorful becomes tasteless. This leaves users feeling unsatisfied and craving stronger sensations.

Quality brands make flavor and safety top priorities when sourcing e-liquids. They avoid additives and use only pure, high-grade ingredients to provide an exceptional vaping experience while protecting user health.

How to get the buzz back

So if you vape often and can no longer get that pleasant buzz that you used to enjoy, is there anything you can do to get it back?

Fortunately, the answer is yes because nicotine receptors also empty quickly, so all you need to do is give them time to recover between vapes and you’ll get your buzz again. Here are some techniques and ideas you can try that might help this happen.

1. Vape less often

The simplest solution for getting your buzz back is just to vape less often. If you vape frequently throughout the day, your receptors will always be full, and you’ll never be able to feel anything.

When you get to this stage, your brain has come to think of being filled with nicotine as the new normal, and you will only feel anything when the nicotine is removed.

However, when you remove the nicotine, the feeling you experience won’t be a buzz – it will be nicotine withdrawal symptoms, and these are far from pleasant, and this is one clear sign that you are addicted to nicotine.

Instead, try to vape more infrequently – and then you will be much more likely to feel that dreamy, euphoric nicotine buzz each time you vape.

2. Take tolerance breaks

Another similar option is to take tolerance breaks, and this means stopping vaping for a few days to allow your brain to completely clear itself of the nicotine that’s accumulated there.

If you’re addicted to nicotine – or are developing an addiction – this might not be easy, but if you can manage, you can expect a strong buzz the next time you vape.

At the same time, taking tolerance breaks can also weaken your dependence on the drug, meaning you won’t get addicted or that your addiction won’t be as severe.

3. Enjoy your first vape of the morning

Finally, when you reach for your first vape of the morning, be ready to enjoy it – your brain will have had all night to clear itself of the nicotine that was bound to its receptors, so that first vape of the morning is when you’re most likely to experience a buzz.

It’s all about tolerance

As we’ve seen, the cigarette or vaping “buzz” comes from the effect that nicotine has on the brain, and for most people, it’s a pleasant feeling and one of the most enjoyable parts of smoking or vaping.

However, since our tolerance to nicotine can quickly build up, once you start smoking or vaping often, you become less and less likely to feel a buzz, and when this happens, the only way to feel a buzz again is to let the receptors in your brain empty before reaching for your vape again.
