Based on the age-old smoke rings trick but revamped for vaping, “smoke rings” form the basis of many of the more ambitious tricks described in the advanced section. They are one of the most popular vape tricks, but take a lot of time and practice to master.

How to do it: Take a pull on your vape and inhale it into your throat. Keep your tongue at the bottom of your mouth, towards the back of your throat and form a round ‘O’ shape with your lips. Then push a small amount of vapor out using your throat in a short pulsing motion, similar to a subtle cough. The size of the O you make with your lips correlates to the vapor ring you’ll produce. If you’re going for some fat donuts, be sure to tuck your lips in, instead of pushing them out—which is a common newbie mistake.

How to do double/triple vape rings

As the name suggests, this is blowing two, or even three or more O rings at the same time. Although it looks impressive, this technique is quite simple if you’ve mastered blowing O’s.

How to do it: Simply place a finger over your mouth, pressing and pulling down slightly on the top lip to split the opening of your mouth into two sections. Now you can get two O’s for the price of one! Triple O’s work on the same principle: use two fingers to split your exhale, but open your mouth wider for best results.

Easy vape tricks for beginners

How to get colored vape smoke

You might have seen that “colorful vapor” effect that is becoming popular in many videos. Although technically not a vape trick, colored vape will add some style points to any real trick you combine it with.

How to do it: This “trick” is usually done in post-production using digital editing effects. There is also a mod called the Sense Arrow that features LED lights to color your clouds. It’s yet another creative way to visually enhance your vape tricks.

How to do a ghost inhale

Also known as the snap inhale or mushroom cloud, this is one of the easier vaping tricks. The “ghost inhale” involves releasing a ball of vapor, then ‘snapping’ it back in—it looks much more impressive than it sounds.

How to do it: Take a long drag of vapor and let it linger in your mouth for a couple of seconds. Then push out all the vapor from your mouth in a ball and quickly inhale it back in.

How to a dragon

Another easy vape trick to master, the Dragon makes you look like a ferocious mythical beast. Or maybe just someone blowing clouds out of four holes in their face. Either way it looks impressive.
