Vape Tricks 101: Impress Your Friends with Awesome Cloud Chasing



Vaping has become more than just an alternative to smoking; it has evolved into a culture of its own. One aspect of this culture that has gained significant popularity is the art of vape tricks. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced vaper, learning and mastering vape tricks can take your vaping experience to a new level. This blog post will explore some of the most impressive vape tricks and provide the knowledge and techniques to wow your friends with mesmerizing cloud-chasing skills.

The Basics of Cloud Chasing

To start your journey into the world of vape tricks, it's essential to understand the fundamentals of cloud chasing. This section will cover the importance of airflow, selecting the right vape device, and choosing the appropriate e-liquid UK for creating voluminous clouds.

Importance of Airflow

Regarding cloud chasing, airflow is crucial in producing thick and dense vapour clouds. The more airflow you have, the cooler your vape will be, allowing you to take longer inhales and create bigger clouds. Adjustable airflow control on your vape device allows you to customize your experience according to your cloud-chasing goals. Experiment with different airflow settings to find the sweet spot that suits your preferences.

Selecting the Right Vape Device

To achieve impressive cloud production, choosing the right vape device is essential. Sub-ohm tanks, rebuildable atomizers (RDAs/RTAs), and mechanical mods are popular among cloud chasers. Sub-ohm tanks are known for their low-resistance coils and large e-liquid capacity, making them beginner-friendly options. RDAs and RTAs allow for more customization and deliver even more intense cloud production. Mechanical mods, although advanced, can provide high power output for massive clouds. Whichever device you choose, ensure it is compatible with cloud-chasing techniques and has the necessary safety features.

Choosing the Appropriate E-liquid

The e-liquid you select significantly impacts the vapour production and overall cloud-chasing experience. For example, high VG (vegetable glycerin) e-liquids are favoured for cloud chasing due to their thicker consistency, which produces denser vapour. Therefore, a VG/PG (propylene glycol) ratio of 70:30 or higher is often recommended. Additionally, choosing e-liquids with lower nicotine levels can contribute to bigger clouds, as high nicotine content may result in harsh throat hits that limit your ability to take longer inhales.

Experimentation and Practice

Cloud chasing is an art that requires practice and experimentation. Finding the right balance between airflow, device settings, and e-liquid composition may take trial and error. Start with lower power settings and gradually increase wattage or temperature to find the optimal range for cloud production. Next, experiment with different coil builds, such as dual or triple coils, and try other wicking techniques to enhance vapour production.

The O's and Beyond

One of the most iconic vape tricks is blowing O-shaped rings. This section will break down the step-by-step process of creating perfect O's, including techniques like the single O, double O's, and the popular jellyfish trick.

The Single O

To create a single O-shaped ring:

  1. Take a long, controlled inhale of vapour without exhaling.
  2. Form your lips into a small "O" shape, keeping your tongue flat and at the bottom of your mouth.
  3. Use the back of your throat to push out a small, quick burst of vapour while simultaneously making a gentle cough-like motion with your throat. This will propel the vapour forward and form a ring.
  4. Practice this technique until you consistently create clean, well-defined single O-shaped rings.

Double O's

Once you've mastered the single O, you can advance to creating double O-shaped rings.

  1. Start by taking a larger inhale of vapour, allowing more vapour to accumulate in your mouth.
  2. Then, with your lips positioned like before, push out two quick bursts of vapour in rapid succession.
  3. The key is to maintain control and consistency in the size and shape of each ring.
  4. Adjust your airflow and throat strength push to achieve the desired effect.

The Jellyfish Trick

The jellyfish trick involves blowing a single O-shaped ring and then using your hand or another flat object to push it and create an elongated shape that resembles a jellyfish tentacle. To perform this trick, blow a single O as usual, but before it dissipates, gently push your hand or another object to guide and extend the ring horizontally. With practice, you can create multiple jellyfish-like tentacles from a single O-ring, adding a mesmerizing visual element to your vape trick repertoire.

The Tornado

The tornado is a captivating trick that involves creating a vortex-like effect with the vapour. To perform this trick, take a long inhale of vapour and hold it in your mouth without exhaling. Then, quickly exhale the vapour forcefully toward the ground while simultaneously snapping your wrist downward in a swift, fluid motion. This motion creates a spinning motion in the vapour, resembling a tornado. Experiment with different hand movements and exhale forces to achieve variations in the tornado effect.

The Bull Ring

The bull ring is an advanced vape trick combining the O-shaped ring with a larger vapour ring encapsulating it. Begin by creating a large O-shaped ring using the technique explained earlier. Then, immediately after blowing the O-ring, exhale more vapour into the centre of the O to create a larger ring that surrounds and encapsulates the original O-ring. This requires precise control of your exhale and creating multiple rings simultaneously.

Mastering the Ghost Inhale

The ghost inhales a captivating trick that gives the illusion of vapour magically disappearing and reappearing. We'll guide you through the proper technique of performing the ghost inhale and provide tips on timing, exhaling techniques, and refining the visual effect for maximum impact.

Performing the Ghost Inhale

  • Start by taking a long, slow drag from your vape device, ensuring plenty of vapour in your mouth. Hold the vapour in your mouth for a moment, allowing it to settle.
  • With your mouth closed, slowly exhale a small amount of vapour through your nose. The exhaled vapour should be minimal, creating a faint mist.
  • After exhaling through your nose, open your mouth slightly and quickly inhale the remaining vapour back into your mouth. This inhalation should be swift and controlled, ensuring you capture the remaining vapour without dissipating.
  • As you inhale the vapour back into your mouth, keep your lips and tongue positioned to create a slight "O" shape.
  • Finally, exhale the captured vapour in a controlled manner, pushing it out of your mouth to create the illusion of the vapour magically reappearing.

Timing and Refining the Visual Effect

  • Timing is crucial for the ghost inhale. Experiment with different durations of holding the vapour in your mouth before exhaling through your nose. Finding the right balance will help create a subtle mist that enhances the illusion of the disappearing vapour.
  • To refine the visual effect, focus on exhaling the captured vapour smoothly and evenly. Avoid exhaling forcefully, as it may disperse the vapour too quickly, diminishing the ghostly effect. A gentle and controlled exhale will allow the vapour to linger in the air, adding to the captivating nature of the trick.
  • Practice in front of a mirror to observe your technique. Pay attention to the size and shape of the "O" created by your lips and tongue during the inhalation and exhalation phases. Adjusting your mouth's shape can influence the trick's visual impact.
  • Experiment with ghost inhale variations, such as combining it with other vape tricks. For example, try incorporating a small O-shaped ring into the disappearing vapour, or perform the ghost inhale while moving your hand in a swirling motion, adding an extra layer of visual interest.

Trippy Vortex Swirls

Take your vape trick skills to the next level with the mesmerizing vortex swirls. We'll explain how to create a captivating tornado-like effect using simple hand movements and breath control. From the classic vortex to the dragon and the twister, you'll learn various techniques to create stunning visual effects.

The Classic Vortex

Start by inhaling from your vape device, allowing a good amount of vapour to accumulate in your mouth. Position your lips in a rounded shape as if you were about to blow an O-shaped ring. Instead of exhaling the vapour as a ring, gently exhale a steady stream of vapour continuously, controlled. While exhaling, use your hand or fingers to create circular motions around the vapour stream, gradually moving closer to the centre. This circular motion will cause the vapour to twist and form a vortex-like swirl.

The Dragon

To add an extra flair to your vortex swirls, incorporate the "dragon" technique. After creating the vortex swirl as described above, part your lips slightly and release small bursts of vapour in short intervals while maintaining the circular hand motions. This will create the illusion of fire breathing from the vortex swirl, resembling a mystical dragon.

The Twister

The twister technique involves combining multiple vortex swirls to create an intricate and visually captivating effect. Begin by performing the classic vortex swirl, as explained earlier. Once the swirl is established, use your free hand to create another circular motion alongside the first swirl, gradually moving closer to it. The two swirling motions will intertwine, forming a mesmerizing twister effect. Experiment with different hand speeds, sizes of swirls, and directions of motion to create unique and dynamic twister patterns.
