The Ultimate Guide to Vape Tricks: Easy & Cool Tricks for All Levels

Turning a simple cloud of vapour into something amazing like a solid O-ring or a floating Jellyfish is a skill anyone can learn. It just takes a bit of practice and the right guide. You’re in the right place. This guide will walk you through everything step-by-step, from the easy first tricks to the real head-turners.

Before you start, getting your gear right is half the battle. Then we’ll jump into the easiest tricks to build your confidence before moving on to the trickier stuff.

Your Essential Vape Tricks Setup

Getting your setup right makes all the difference between pulling off slick tricks and just looking like you’re having a coughing fit. Here’s what you need:

• Go for High-VG Juice: Grab an e-liquid with at least 70% Vegetable Glycerin (VG). This is the stuff that creates those dense, thick clouds that are perfect for shaping.
• Use the Right Device: A sub-ohm tank or an RDA on a decent mod is your best friend here. You need something that can produce a good amount of vapour.
• Find a Spot with Still Air: A breezy room is your worst enemy. Practice somewhere with minimal air movement so your clouds don’t get blown away before you can work your magic.

5 Easy Vape Tricks to Master First

These tricks are your training ground. They’ll help you get a feel for handling vapour and build your confidence for the trickier stuff.

1. Ghost Vape Trick

The Ghost is probably the first trick every vaper learns. It looks cool but only takes a few tries to nail. Here’s how to do a ghost vape trick:

1. Take a long drag of vapour, but don’t inhale it into your lungs. Just hold it in your mouth.
2. Keep your mouth closed and let the vapour settle for a few seconds.
3. Gently open your mouth and push the ball of vapour out with your tongue (don’t exhale!).
4. Quickly suck the little “ghost” of vapour back in.

2. Dragon Vape Trick

This cool vape trick is pure showmanship and looks awesome without much effort.

1. Take a big drag of vapour into your mouth (again, don’t inhale it).
2. Keep the very centre of your lips pressed together, but open the corners of your mouth.
3. Exhale with a bit of force through your nose and both corners of your mouth at the same time.

3. Tornado Vape Trick

This desktop trick creates a mini weather system right on your table. Perfect for showing off in the pub.

1. Find a flat surface, like a table or bar top.
2. Lean in and slowly exhale a thick, dense cloud of vapour onto the surface.
3. Using your hand like a karate chop, slice into the cloud and quickly flick your wrist upwards through the vapour to create a spinning vortex.

4. Waterfall Vape Trick

The Waterfall creates a mesmerising effect that looks like magic. You’ll need a bottle and some ice for this one.

1. Find an empty bottle with a bit of frozen water at the bottom
2. Slowly blow your vapour into the bottle
3. Gently pour the vapour out; it will fall like a slow, misty waterfall due to being colder than the surrounding air

5. Vape Rings (The Iconic “O” Rings)

Vape rings are the classic trick everyone wants to learn. They take more practice than the previous beginner vape tricks, but once you’ve got them down, you can build on them with advanced moves. Here’s how to do vape rings:

Option#1

1. Fill your mouth with vape
2. Purse your lips and decrease the space in your mouth in small, rapid movements.

Option#2

1. Completely fill your lungs with vape
2. Exhale a small amount
3. Then pursing your lips and ‘coughing’ as gently as you can over and over.

Pro tip: The key is the throat pulse, not blowing air. Think of it as a gentle “uh” sound without using your voice.

There’s a wide array of vaping tricks that utilise the principles of vape rings as a foundation. Before you know it, you’ll be blowing a jellyfish, and maybe one day, with enough practice, you’ll achieve the dream of vaping tricks: the vape triangles!

3 Cool Intermediate Tricks to Try Next

Ready to step it up? These tricks build on the basics but add extra flair. Make sure you’ve mastered O-rings first, as you’ll need them for some of these.

1. The Bane Vape Trick

Named after the Batman villain, this trick creates a mask-like effect across your face.

1. Blow a thick vape ring (O)
2. Gently push it forward with your hand to make it larger and slower
3. Take another small drag of vapour
4. Inhale that new vapour through the centre of the ring to create the “Bane mask” effect

2. Jellyfish Vape Trick

This mesmerising trick looks exactly like its namesake floating through water. It’s one of the most visually impressive moves you can pull off.

1. Blow a single, large, and stable vape ring
2. Gently push it with your hand to slow it down
3. Take another drag and gently exhale a stream of vapour through the centre of the O-ring. The second cloud creates the “head” and the O-ring forms the “tentacles.”

3. The Bridge

The Bridge connects your mouth to a floating ring, creating an ethereal effect that looks impossible.

1. Blow a medium-sized vape ring
2. Gently exhale a small, slow stream of vapour from your mouth
3. Use the stream to “catch” the top of the ring, creating a bridge that connects back to your mouth

More Vape Tricks for You to Try

Already mastered the beginner and intermediate vape tricks? Try these two:

1. French Inhale

The French inhale is another super simple technique – one which most people can pull off the very first time they use an e-cig!

1. Just pull a good amount of vapour into your lungs and keep it there.
2. Then, slowly and gently decrease the space in your mouth, all the while inhaling through your nose, sort of like checking how your breath smells.

2. Potion

This one’s a bit of a twist on the Tornado, but with a scientific angle!

1. Just get a chilled glass, or a cup that still has some liquid in it.
2. Take a big hit of your vape and hold it in.
3. Now just perch your mouth over the edge of the cup and begin to slowly exhale into it.
4. You’ll find that the vapour clings to the edges of the cup and settles comfortably on top of the liquid. This is an easy party trick and one that’ll really add something special to a number of Halloween costumes!

4. Double O’s

Double O’s is basically blowing two vape rings simultaneously. Confused as to how to do double O’s? Just follow these steps:

1. Again, fill your mouth with vape.
2. Purse your lips (preferably in the shape of the letter O)
3. Place a finger on the center of your lips
4. ‘Cough’ as gently as you can over and over.

The Main Takeaway: Have Fun With It!

Mastering vape tricks is all about time and patience. Don’t get discouraged if your first few O’s look more like sad little puffs. Everyone starts somewhere!

Begin with the Ghost and work your way up. Once you get the basics, you can start experimenting. Small changes in your technique or airflow can make a huge difference.

Most importantly, have fun with it. These tricks are meant to be entertaining, not a stressful exam. Keep at it, and soon you’ll be the one teaching your mates how to do it. Happy vaping
