You’ve got to agree with me that vaping is a lot of fun. Not only does it provide you with tasty, thick clouds, but it also allows you to perform some awesome tricks.
There’s a simple one that will make you look like a pro in front of your friends.
It’s smoke rings.
Also known as “Os,” this trick is a true classic. After all, what can be better than drawing a nice load of vapor and blowing it into perfectly shaped rings?
Now, I’m going to explain how to blow smoke rings and thus help you take your vaping to the next level!
Why Is a Vape Mod Better for Blowing Rings?
Even though the rings trick originated from smoking traditional cigarettes, there’s no reason for you not to use vapor instead of smoke. In fact, there are several benefits you get to enjoy for choosing a vape mod, with the most popular of them including:
- You don’t inhale cigarette smoke and all of its harmful elements.
- Vapor is tastier and less damaging for your throat;
- It’s easier to create a lot of vapor than a lot of smoke;
- The rings come out thicker and have a better look.
That’s not it:
Since you get a lot more vapor than you would smoke, you can easily learn how to blow two or even three rings at the same time!
“There are dozens of awesome tricks that can be performed with a vape mod, with the most popular ones including dragon, tornado, waterfall, French inhale, smoke rings, vapor bubble, and ghost inhale.”
How to Create Smoke Rings with Your Vape Gadget
The process of blowing Os is pretty straightforward and can be covered in five simple steps. However, that straightforwardness is somewhat misleading, as each step does require you to practice a lot if you want to get good at blowing rings. So, here you go:
- Draw a LOT of vapor from your mod.
You need as much vapor as possible to ensure that your rings will be thick, perfectly shaped, and will last.
Note:
Concentrate the vapor in your throat instead of sending it to your lungs. It might be difficult at first, but you’ll manage to do so effortlessly over time.
- Give your mouth the right form.
In essence, your opened mouth should resemble the letter “O,” while you simultaneously push out your lips as if you were saying the word “mood.” The circle you create should be as large as possible, without making you feel uncomfortable.
“Having top-quality equipment is essential for blowing smoke rings successfully. To guarantee a satisfying result, you are recommended to invest in a high-end vape mod and powerful sub-ohm vape tank. Otherwise, it’s unlikely that you’ll gather enough vapor to perform any tricks as expected.”
Even though you might look ridiculous when trying to recreate this step the first couple of times, it’s crucial for learning how to blow smoke rings. And don’t worry, soon enough you’ll learn how to shape your mouth this way naturally.
- Exhale a tiny portion of the vapor stored in your throat.
Without a doubt, this is the hardest part of the trick, which is basically a trial and error process. To perform this step, imagine that you have to give out a slight cough or sigh (or try to imitate a choking movement) and you’ll get the basic idea of what you have to do. In essence, you create pressure in your glottis and the vapor gets pushed out of your lips, allowing you to blow smoke rings.
Now:
There are three factors you have to keep in mind if you want to blow a smoke ring right:
- You should exhale with a short, concentrated effort instead of a prolonged one;
- Your tongue should be placed in the back of your mouth;
- You should gather enough breath to ensure that you can blow the vapor out of the mouth.
- Once you’ve released the vapor, carefully shut your mouth to close-in and thicken the ring.
It’s advised to practice mouth movements several times without vaping so that you can hone your skill. Once you’ve mastered all the motions, you’ll know exactly what to do when you have actual vapor in your mouth.
- Marvel at the perfect shape of your vapor ring!
That’s basically it.
Now, here’s the deal:
If the method described above is too complicated for you, there’s a simpler way to blow smoke rings. All you have to do is inhale a lot of vapor into your mouth (not the throat!), form the lips into a circular shape, and gently tap your cheek every time you want to release a nice smoke ring.
The downside of this technique is that you won’t be able to blow rings as big as those created with the vapor stored in your throat.
How to Make Double and Triple Os
Once you’ve mastered the art of blowing simple smoke rings, you may find yourself wanting to expand your skill.
“What can be more awesome than blowing a vapor ring?” you might ask.
Blowing two vapor rings!
The only difference between this trick and the previous one is that you have to place a finger over your mouth so that it’s split into two equal sections. Then, repeat the movements you’ve learned before, and you’ll blow two identical rings at the same time!
Three rings are created in a similar fashion and require you to use two fingers and open your mouth as wide as possible to create enough room for circles to be created.
That’s not it:
You can also blow multiple rings in sequence. All you need to do is draw enough vapor into your throat so that there’s enough of it to create several Os in a single inhalation. Next, just exhale one ring after the next until you’re out of vapor.
“Before you start blowing the second ring, make sure that the excess vapor from the first one dissipates and doesn’t ruin its shape.”
Here’s the kicker:
If you want to add even more style to this trick and entertain your friends while doing so, you can learn how to blow a bull ring.
To perform this trick, you need to exhale a thick, average-sized ring, move your face closer to it, and use your nose to absorb the tip of the circle, creating the illusion of you having a bull ring in your nose. For better results, it’s advised to practice this technique in front of your reflection to evaluate how good the ring looks.
A Few Tips on How to Enhance Your Smoke Rings
Even though the best way to blow smoke rings more efficiently is to keep practicing over and over again, there are some things you can do that will help you here:
- Buy a powerful VG e-liquid, as it provides the thickness necessary for making solid rings;
- Practice this trick in a closed space without a noticeable airflow since wind can destroy the rings as soon as they leave your lips;
- Add a slight tongue push (without raising the tongue) with a jaw just as you exhale the vapor if you want your rings to go further and with more speed;
- Your rings will have a better shape if you curl your lips the moment vapor is exiting your mouth.
Why You Can’t Blow Smoke Rings: Typical Problems
This may surprise you, but most vapers never learn how to blow Os in their years of vaping. Some never even attempt to learn this trick, others just give up after a couple of tries, and the rest fall victim to one of these mistakes:
- Puckering the lips too much.
The essential step of this trick is getting the shape of your mouth right. Sadly, a lot of people tend to go overboard with this step and botch the lip positioning.
- Not drawing a sufficient amount of vapor.
If you don’t manage to inhale enough smoke, then you won’t have enough material to build a ring with, and the entire “construction” will simply fall apart.
- Practicing in a windy or drafty area.
Even if you get the mouth shape perfectly right, even a slight breeze can render all your efforts useless.
- Not trying hard enough.
All skills require time and effort to be mastered, and the art of blowing Os is no different. Keep practicing, and you’re bound to get good in little time!
“An effective method for learning how to perform various vaping tricks is watching videos on Youtube made by pro vapers, which explain and demonstrate every detail of the process.”
Conclusion
Performing tricks in general and blowing smoke rings, in particular, is one of the coolest parts of vaping. All you need is a powerful mod, high-quality e-juice, patience, and dedication. Add those elements together, and you’re guaranteed to wow your friends during the next vaping session!
