Blow "into" or blow "on" something?

Do you blow "into" a microphone or blow "on" it?

If both of them work, how are they different?

I'm guessing that if you're blowing "on" something, then you're forcing air onto the surface of the microphone, but I'm confused about the usage of "into" because I'm unsure if "into" is being used to mean "inside" (as in the air goes inside the microphone) or being used to mean "towards" (as in the air goes towards & crashed into the microphone)

Any thoughts would be appreciated!
