Hey cloud artists! Let’s get real: There’s nothing cooler than blowing a perfect vape ring that floats across the room like a tiny, smoky UFO.
Or nailing a “jellyfish” trick that makes your friends go, “HOW?!” But here’s the tea: those flashy moves aren’t magic—they’re science (with a side of practice). As BOB, VAPORESSO’s resident trick-obsessed product manager, I’m breaking down how vape rings form, sharing easy-to-learn tricks, and spilling which of our kits will turn you from “cloud noob” to “vape Picasso.” Let’s dive in!
First Things First: Why Do Vape Rings Exist? (Spoiler: It’s Not Just Luck)
Let’s start with the basics: Vape rings (officially called “vortex rings”) are just air doing a cool dance. When you exhale vapor quickly and sharply, you’re pushing a burst of air out of your mouth. That air forms a spinning “donut” shape (vortex) where the inner air moves forward and the outer air spins backward—like a tiny tornado doing a hula hoop.
The vapor (which is denser than regular air) makes this invisible vortex visible, so you see a perfect ring floating away.
Key ingredients for ring success:
- Dense vapor: Thick, slow-moving vapor holds the ring shape longer (thank us later, VAPORESSO coils!).
- Controlled airflow: Too much air = wobbly rings; too little = sad, tiny rings.
- Mouth shape: Pucker up like you’re kissing a fish
(no, really—tight, round lips help focus the air burst).
Trick 101: O-Ring (The Classic!) 
Let’s start with the OG of vape tricks: the simple O-ring. It’s the foundation for all advanced moves, and with a little practice, you’ll be nailing it in no time.
How to do it:
- Inhale vapor into your lungs (not just your mouth—deeper = more vapor to work with).
- Shape your mouth into a tight “O” (like you’re saying “oh” but with pursed lips).
- Tongue time: Curl your tongue upward, touching the roof of your mouth (this helps “cut” the vapor into a ring).
- Exhale sharply: Push a short, quick burst of air from your lungs (imagine coughing… but gently). The air will shoot through your O-shaped lips, forming a ring!
Pro tip: Use a VAPORESSO XROS 5 for this! Its adjustable airflow (tighten it to 1-2 dots) creates denser vapor, making rings easier to shape. Trust me—wobbly “oval rings” are so last year.
Trick 201: Double O’s (Because One Ring Is Never Enough!) 
Ready to level up? Double O’s are two rings floating side by side—impressive, but way easier than they look.
How to do it:
- Do the O-ring setup (inhale, O-mouth, tongue up).
- Use your fingers: Place your index and middle fingers (like a peace sign
) on your lips, separating them into two small O’s.
- Exhale gently: Push air through both finger-separated O’s—boom! Two rings, same time.
Pro tip: The GEN MAX with its NRG-MAX Tank is your BFF here. Crank the wattage to 80-100W for thicker vapor (thanks to those GT Mesh Coils 3.0 ), so your double rings don’t fade mid-air.
Trick 301: Jellyfish (The “Wow, That’s Cool” Move) 
Now we’re getting fancy! The jellyfish trick: blow a ring, then shoot a “tentacle” of vapor through its center. It looks like a tiny, floating jellyfish—chef’s kiss.
How to do it:
- Blow a solid O-ring (use the O-ring steps above).
- Quickly follow up: After the ring floats 6-8 inches away, exhale a slow, steady stream of vapor directly at it. The stream will pass through the ring, creating “tentacles.”
Pro tip: Practice with the iMate OS first! Its auto-draw activation means you can focus on hand/mouth coordination without fumbling with buttons. Less stress = more jellyfish success.
Why VAPORESSO Gear Makes Trick-Mastering Easier 
Let’s be real: even the best trickster needs a solid tool. Here’s why our kits are trick-friendly:
- Dense vapor: XROS 5’s SSS Leakproof Tech 3.0 and GEN MAX’s GT Mesh Coils keep vapor thick and slow-moving (perfect for ring shape).
- Adjustable airflow: Tighten airflow for control (O-rings), open it for more vapor (jellyfish tentacles).
- Consistent power: No sputtering! Our iCore and AXON chips deliver stable wattage, so your vapor never “dies” mid-trick.
