Beginner's Guide to Vaping: Win Over Your Friends
Introduction
So, you just got into vaping and want to go beyond just puffing clouds—you're ready to turn heads with some killer vape tricks. Good news? To begin, you don't have to be an expert or wizard. This guide is your personal cheat sheet to some seriously cool smoke skills, even if you’re still figuring out how to hold your vape pen properly.
Let’s dive into how you can become the go-to trickster in your friend group—with just a bit of practice and the right technique.
1.0 Getting Started with Vape Tricks
Before you start blowing smoke like a magician, let’s get the basics locked down.
1.1 Essentials Before Attempting Vape Tricks
You’ll need three things:
A reliable vape device (preferably one with adjustable airflow)
High VG e-liquid for thick vapor
Patience (seriously, it's like learning how to juggle)
2.0 Choosing the Right Vape Device
You don’t need the fanciest mod, but you do need something that puts out decent vapor. Look for sub-ohm tanks or pod mods that can handle high VG e-juice and let you control the wattage and airflow. These give you better cloud control.
2.1 Understanding VG/PG Ratios
VG (Vegetable Glycerin) = Clouds
PG (Propylene Glycol) = Flavor
For tricks, go with at least 70% VG. This makes your vapor denser, slower-moving, and easier to shape into rings, dragons, and ghosts.
2.2 The Science Behind Vape Tricks
Why do some clouds swirl perfectly while others disappear in a second? It's all in the science.
3.0 How Vapor Density Affects Your Tricks
Thicker clouds are easier to manipulate. Your effects will appear more defined if your vapor is denser. That’s why cloud chasers always go high-VG.
3.1 Breathing Control and Airflow
Vape tricks are a lot like singing or beatboxing—it’s all in the breath control. Controlling how hard and fast you exhale can completely change the shape and movement of your clouds.
Also, airflow settings on your vape mod can make or break a trick. More airflow = looser clouds. Tighter, more regulated ones result from less airflow.
4.0 Basic Vape Tricks to Learn First
These are your gateway tricks—simple to pick up, super fun to master.
4.1 The Ghost Inhale
Also called the "Snap Inhale," this is one of the easiest tricks to start with.
How to do it:
Hold the vapor in your mouth while taking a puff.
Push it out in a small ball (don’t exhale too hard).
Quickly suck it back in.
Looks like you're catching a ghost. Boo-yah!
4.2 The Dragon
It will make you feel as though you are in a fantasy film.
How to do it:
Take a big hit.
Exhale simultaneously through the corners of your lips and your nostrils.
Boom! Four jets of vapor. Call yourself the dragon master.
4.3 The French Inhale
This one’s all about finesse.
How to do it:
Slowly release the vapor from your mouth.
Inhale it back through your nostrils.
Looks super smooth. Smells even better (depending on your juice).
5.0 Intermediate Vape Tricks to Level Up
Let's add some spice now that you have the fundamentals.
5.1 Blowing O’s (Smoke Rings)
Ah yes, the classic O. Master this and you're officially cool.
How to do it:
Take a deep inhale.
Shape your mouth like an “O”.
To expel vapor, give your throat a rapid pop—not a cough.
5.2 The Push Method
Once you’ve got basic O’s, push them farther with your hand or a quick head nod.
5.2.1 Tongue Trick
Try flicking your tongue through the ring to give it spin. It’s all about rhythm.
5.2.2 The Tornado
A crowd-pleaser if you’re at a table.
How to do it:
Blow vapor onto a flat surface (table works best).
Slice and twist the cloud with your hand.
Voilà—tiny spinning cyclone!
5.2.3 The Jellyfish
This one’s flashy and hypnotic.
How to do it:
Blow a large O.
Immediately push another stream of vapor through the center of that O.
The O stretches and looks like a jellyfish swimming in air.
6.0 Tips to Improve Your Vape Trick Game
Let’s get you from amateur to artist.
6.1 Mastering Airflow
Modest adjustments to airflow can have a significant impact. More resistance gives you better control, especially for delicate tricks like O’s and jellyfish.
6.2 Filming Your Tricks for Social Media
Want those slow-mo TikToks? Use backlighting and dark backgrounds. A ring light makes vapor appear amazing against black. Film in 60fps or higher for smoother playback.
6.3 Common Mistakes to Avoid
Exhaling too fast: Most tricks need slow, smooth release.
Using high PG juice: It just doesn’t work well for tricks.
Forgetting to practice: Like any skill, tricks take time. Don’t rage quit.
Trying everything at once: Master one trick before moving on.
6.4 Staying Safe While Doing Vape Tricks
Fun fact: Vape tricks aren’t worth it if you’re gasping for air.
Take breaks. Chain vaping = burnt coils and tired lungs.
Know your limits. Don’t force deep inhales repeatedly.
Hydrate. Vaping can dry your mouth and throat.
Keep your gear clean. Gunked-up coils won’t give clean vapor.
Conclusion
Vape tricks are a kind of artistic expression more than merely a party trick. Whether you're pulling off a perfect ghost inhale or mastering a jellyfish, you're joining a worldwide community of vapers who love to blend art and vapor. Just remember: practice makes perfect, and safety always comes first.
So go on—grab your vape, hit the mirror, and start crafting some clouds. Your audience (even if it’s just your cat for now) awaits.
