Hey vapers! You've probably seen videos of people vaping while blowing cool smoke shapes—from rings, tornadoes, to jellyfish. Pretty awesome, right?

Well, for those of you who are curious and want to learn vape tricks too, this article will be a complete and easy guide to start from scratch.

Don't worry, you don't have to be a pro right away. With the right basic techniques and regular practice, you'll definitely be able to improve your skills little by little. Let's get started!

What Are Vape Tricks?

Vape tricks are techniques for manipulating vape vapor to form certain patterns or movements, such as rings (O), tornadoes, and other complex shapes.

These tricks utilize the direction of the vapor exhalation, mouth technique, breath control, and the help of hands or body movements.

Essentially, vape tricks aren't just about the amount of vapor, but how you control that vapor.

Preparation Before Learning Vape Tricks

Before diving into the tutorial, there are a few important things you need to prepare:

1. Suitable Device

Use a device that can produce thick enough vapor:

• Mod + RDA (most optimal)
• Pod mod
• AIO with sufficiently wide airflow

Small pods like pod sticks can work, but they are less effective for thick tricks that require a lot of vapor.

2. The Right E-liquid

Use e-liquid with high VG so the vapor is thicker and denser—easier to shape.

3. Quiet Room

Make sure the room is not windy, enclosed, and there are no fans/AC directly in front so the vapor doesn't disperse quickly.

How to Do Vape Tricks

Here are the fundamental techniques you need to master before trying other cool tricks:

1. Bane Inhale

Bane Inhale is a trick that makes vapor exit through an "imaginary" mask, like the character Bane in The Dark Knight Rises. The effect is really cool because the vapor appears to flow thickly from the corners of the mouth and nose.

Bane inhale is one of the easiest vape tricks and can be done easily even if you are using a pod.

How to do it:

1. Inhale vapor and hold it in your mouth without swallowing it into your lungs.
2. Close the center of your lips, but open the left and right sides of your mouth slightly.
3. Exhale the vapor slowly through the gaps at the sides of your mouth while inhaling slightly through your nose and lifting your lips a little to direct the vapor flow upwards.
4. The vapor will look like a "smoke mask" coming out from both sides of your mouth and nose.

Tips for Success:

• Don't exhale vapor too quickly, let it flow slowly.
• Use a mirror to see if the left-right gaps of your mouth are symmetrical.
• The room must be calm with no wind at all.
• High VG liquid (70–80VG) makes the Bane effect thicker.

2. "O" Technique or Smoke Rings (The Basic O’s)

This is the most basic trick and a must-master for all vapers.

How to do it:

1. Inhale enough vape (not too much).
2. Shape your mouth like the letter O.
3. Press your throat slightly with a glottal push (like a soft, voiceless "uh" cough).
4. Push the vapor out slowly.
5. Maintain a consistent mouth shape and pushing rhythm.

Tips:

• Don't blow with your lips—just push from your throat.
• Practice in front of a mirror to see the "O" shape.

3. French Inhale (Breezy / Irish Waterfall)

This trick makes the vapor rise smoothly from the mouth to the nose.

How to do it:

1. Inhale vapor and hold it in your mouth.
2. Open your mouth slightly.
3. Slowly push the vapor out of your mouth without blowing.
4. Breathe in through your nose so the vapor rises upwards.

Tips:

• Don't move your head too fast.
• Keep the vapor dense for maximum effect.

4. Ghost Inhale (Snap Inhale)

A trick that looks cool but is actually easy.

How to do it:

1. Inhale vapor and hold it in your mouth.
2. Push a small amount of vapor out (like making a small ball).
3. Suck it back in quickly using your mouth.

Tips:

• Don't exhale too much vapor.
• The sucking motion must be quick.

Tips for Quickly Mastering Vape Tricks

Here are some tips to help you quickly master vape tricks:

• Practice in a quiet, windless room
• Use e-liquid for cloud chasing (high VG)
• Don't rush—breath control is key
• Record your practice to see your progress
• Don't inhale too deeply, or the vapor will be too hot
