Vape Tricks that even novices can learn: teach you how to play perfect Smoke Rings and more Beginner Tricks
Want to learn cool vape tricks? Whether you are a novice beginner tricks player or you already know a little smoke rings, this concise tutorial will teach you from scratch in very simple steps: how to blow a stable smoke ring, how to make Ghost, Dragon, French Inhale, and how to advance to more advanced vape tricks step by step.
What are Vape Tricks? Getting Started with Smoke Rings
Vape tricks use e-cigarette smoke to create various visual effects. The most classic beginner tricks for beginners are smoke rings. Learn to control smoke first, then learn direction and rhythm. You will find that many advanced gameplays are actually related to smoke rings, ghost, and French Inhale.
Let us first use a comparison table to let you quickly understand: how big the difference is between playing casually and practicing vape tricks systematically.
📊 Key Metrics Comparison
Beginner Tricks Route for Beginners: 7 Must-Learn Vape Tricks
1. Waterfall: The best vape tricks for complete newbies
Waterfall is many people’s first introduction to vape tricks. As long as you slowly “pour” the smoke on the table, you will see a thin layer of fog-like clouds resting on it, which is very suitable as the starting point for all beginner tricks.
- Take a deep breath, but first keep the cigarette in your mouth and not in your lungs
- Aim at a table or flat surface, with your mouth about 2–3 cm away from the surface
- Don’t exhale forcefully, just open your mouth gently and let the smoke flow down on its own
2. Tornado: Add a layer of “whirlwind” effect to Waterfall
When you can make Waterfall stably, you can unlock Tornado. These two vape tricks are often practiced together by novices and are both very suitable combinations for beginner tricks.
- First make a thick layer of Waterfall smoke
- Place your palms flat on the table, then quickly raise your palms and draw upwards
- The smoke will be rolled up by you to form a column like a small tornado
3. Ghost Inhale: Moderately difficult to get started but very beautiful.
Ghost Inhale, also called “ghost shadow”, is the basis for many advanced vape tricks. You exhale the smoke into a small ball first and then inhale it immediately. The whole process is clean and neat and will look much better than simply blowing out the smoke.
- Keep the cigarette in your mouth and be careful not to inhale it into your lungs
- Gently push the cigarette out with your tongue to form a small “smoke ball””
- As soon as the puff of smoke leaves your mouth, inhale quickly through your mouth to “eat” it back
4. Smoke Rings: The most classic smoke ring (Blow O’s)
In the true sense, smoke rings are the watershed between novices and advanced players. As long as you can blow smoke rings steadily, various more complex vape tricks such as jellyfish, push ring, and ring knocking will become easier. This is also one of the most frequently searched for beginner tricks.
The simple method of blowing smoke rings is as follows. You can use no tongue skills and just rely on the throat “flick”:
- Keep the cigarette in your mouth and arrange your mouth into a circle “O”
- Keep your tongue flat and pull it back slightly
- Make short “uh, uh, uh” movements with your throat without actually making a sound
After you can blow the basic smoke rings, you can add:
- Extend your chin slightly forward to make the smoke rings fly farther.
- Gently push the smoke ring with the tip of your tongue to give it a little “whirl” to keep the ring intact
5. Dragon: Exhale smoke from the corners of the mouth and nose together
Dragon looks very impressive and perfect for video shooting. You will blow smoke from your nose and the corners of your mouth at the same time, keeping your mouth closed in the middle like a dragon blowing smoke.
- Take a puff of cigarette and keep it in your mouth first
- Bite the middle of your mouth tightly, leaving only a small gap at the left and right corners of your mouth.
- While exhaling through the nose, squeeze the smoke out of the corner of the mouth
6. French Inhale: “reverse breathing from mouth to nose””
The French Inhale is considered by many to be the most elegant vape trick. You will see the smoke slowly drifting up from your mouth and inhaled through your nose. It will be very suitable for taking photos and short videos with lighting effects.
- Keep the cigarette in your mouth first and gently close your upper teeth
- Gently push your lower lip forward to let the smoke float upward naturally
- Barely exhale from your mouth, just slowly open your mouth and inhale through your nose
7. Bane Trick: Advanced version of French Inhale
Bane is based on French Inhale and adds a “teeth gap” effect. The smoke will separate into lines between your teeth and look like a mask. If you want to learn more detailed vape tricks like this, you need to make the French Inhale very stable first.
- First, make the smoke in your mouth as thick and high as possible. E-liquid will be more helpful.
- Like French Inhale, open your mouth slightly but expose your teeth slightly.
- Inhale through your nose while keeping the gap between your teeth so that the smoke can only pass through the small gaps.
💡 Core Highlights and In-depth Analysis
01. Start by controlling the amount of cigarettes instead of pursuing high difficulty first
Many novices want to do complicated vape tricks when they first start, such as large-scale jellyfish, but the smoke rings are still unstable. Mature players in the industry generally follow a sequence: first control the volume and rhythm of cigarettes and then pursue shape and creativity. You can use a simple criterion to evaluate yourself——
If you can stably blow out more than 10 smoke rings of similar size in one minute, it means that you have stepped into the advanced threshold from beginner tricks and can start trying more difficult vape tricks such as “push circles” and “loops”.
02. High VG ratio is more suitable for Tricks: data-based understanding
Most players in the industry who perform or film vape tricks will choose e-liquid with a VG ratio of about 70% because this kind of oil is easier to form thick and stable smoke clouds, which is particularly friendly to highly visual beginning tricks such as smoke rings. Let’s use a simple visualization to help you compare:
Smoke thickness (relative value)
Regular 50/50 oil
High VG (approximately 70/30) oil
When you want to focus on practicing vape tricks, especially highly visual beginning tricks such as smoke rings and Ghost, you can give priority to equipment with a high VG ratio and stable output.
03. Practice time allocation: 70% basic + 30% creative combination
Experienced performers rarely practice only one movement. They will split their practice time into basic movements and combination movements. You can also arrange to practice vape tricks for 30 minutes every day like this:
- The first 20 minutes are dedicated to practicing the basics: Ghost, smoke rings, French Inhale
- Try combinations in the next 10 minutes: such as smoke ring + push ring, Ghost followed by Dragon
This structure allows you to maintain the stability of the beginning tricks in a short period of time while slowly building up your own style and more complex vape trick arrangements.
04. Industry Insight: Lens performance is more important than difficulty
Many of the vape tricks that have become popular on YouTube and short video platforms are not necessarily the most difficult, but rather neat and rhythmic. For example, stable smoke rings plus simple hand push are often more attractive than a complicated and failed advanced move. For those of you who want to take pictures, you can consider “picture integrity” as an important indicator.
05. Industry Insights: In the era of short videos, combo tricks are more preferred
In recent years, the playback volume of a single type of vape tricks on foreign channels has been declining while the content of “combination tricks” has been increasing. In other words, the audience prefers to watch you start from the smoke ring and then connect with the Ghost and then the Dragon instead of just doing one action. For players like you who are just starting out with beginner tricks, the sooner you practice the connection of moves, the better you can keep up with the content trend.
06. Industry Insights: Scene, lighting and background also determine the effect
Professional vape tricks pay great attention to the environment: dark backgrounds and side soft lights can make the edges of smoke rings clearer. Even if you are just practicing basic beginner tricks, change the background wall or turn off the ceiling light and turn on the side light, you will find that the layers of smoke suddenly look “much better”. This is also a common trick used by content creators.
Start with simple smoke rings and you can also practice vape tricks into your own little stage
Now you know how to systematically practice the beginning tricks: from Waterfall and Ghost to steady smoke rings and then gradually upgrade to French Inhale, Bane and Dragon. All that remains is consistent practice and a little creative combination. If you want to turn these vape tricks into more professional content output, you can get more complete teaching and optimization suggestions.
