Competitive Vaping
Competitive vaping, also known as cloud-chasing, has become increasingly popular in recent years, with vapers competing against each other to see who can perform the most impressive vape tricks. Larger events in the United States feature complex routines set to music and lights which can draw in huge crowds and even sponsorships.
Vape tricks aren't only for professionals. With some patience and practice, anyone can learn to perform some basic vape tricks.
Some Vape Tricks to Try
If you'd like to learn some vape tricks, there are many step-by-step tutorials available online. It's best to start small and work your way up to more complex tricks.
Here are some great tricks for beginners:
Rings
This is similar to the quintessential trick that pipe smokers have been performing for centuries. It's one of the easiest vape tricks and is a good one for beginners to try their hand at. This trick involves exhaling a ring of vapour in the shape of an ‘o'. To perform this trick, you must inhale deeply and exhale slowly, manoeuvring your tongue to shape the vapour into a circle.
Ghost Inhale
This is another great trick for beginners. For this trick, take a shallow inhale and exhale a small puff of vapour. Inhale the vapour back into your mouth to create the form of a ghostly apparition.
French Inhale
For this trick, you'll need to exhale a stream of vapour and then inhale it back, only instead of inhaling through your mouth, you do so through your nose. To do this, exhale a steady stream of vapour through and use your tongue to guide it towards your nose. As the vapour rises, try to inhale it with your nose.
These tricks are a great starting point for anyone looking to get into vaping. Once you've learned these, you can begin trying harder tricks such as the tornado or the jellyfish.
