Collection: Vape Tricks

Vapor tricks have become a central pillar of vape culture, allowing e-cig users to showcase their ability to manipulate vapor clouds across the vaping community. Over time, vape tricks have developed their own subculture and have helped increase the popularity of vaping, especially through social media.

Many e-cig users will blow “rings” or “O’s”, creating different sized circle shapes with the exhaled vapor. After creating the Os, users will sometimes blow a narrow vector of vapor through the hole and as it diffuses around the edges. An offshoot of this is called the Jellyfish, where vapor trails trim along the sides of the “O” and begin to resemble jellyfish tentacles. These tricks can be seen in many of the below images.

Vape tricks are commonly recorded through photos or videos and shared on the internet through various social media platforms. These fascinating photos of vapor are sometimes shared by e-cig companies themselves, to promote their products. This can be seen in the social media pages of VaporFi and NJOY. Vape tricking has even created paths to stardom for select individuals. Extremely talented vape trickers were able to gain incredible online popularity through their impressive tricks, and make appearances at vape conventions across the country and partner with vape companies.

Vape tricks have become an instrumental aspect of vape culture, and can be used in advertising by e-cigarette companies to make vaping seem attractive and “cool”, especially among young adults and children.
