Hey cloud artists! 
Let’s be real—nothing says “I know my vape stuff” like blowing a perfect, floating O-ring that makes your friends go, “HOW?!” 
Whether you’re a beginner trying to impress at a party or a seasoned vaper leveling up your trick game, nailing vape rings is easier than you think. Spoiler: It’s not magic (okay, maybe a little magic), just science, practice, and the right gear.
As BOB, VAPORESSO’s resident trick-obsessed Product Manager, I’ve broken down the easiest (and most impressive!) vape ring tricks—plus, which of our pods will turn you from “wobbly circles” to “Insta-worthy clouds.” And yes, we’ve got a free YouTube tutorial to walk you through it (link below! 
). Let’s dive in!
First: Why Vape Rings Work (Spoiler: It’s All About the “Vortex”)
Before we start flicking tongues and clicking cheeks, let’s get nerdy for 2 seconds: Vape rings (officially “vortex rings”) are just air doing a dance. 
When you push a quick burst of vapor out of a tight O-shaped mouth, the air forms a spinning “donut” shape—inner air zooms forward, outer air spins backward, and boom: a ring floats away. Cool, right?
The key? Thick, slow-moving vapor (thanks, VAPORESSO coils! 
) and controlled airflow. Thin, wispy vapor? Your ring will collapse faster than a deflated balloon. 
So grab a pod with dense vapor output—like our XROS 5 (we’ll explain why later!).
Trick 1: The Classic O-Ring (The “First Date” of Vape Tricks) 
This is the OG—master this, and all other tricks get easier. Think of it as vaping’s “happy birthday” song: simple, but crowd-pleasing.
How to do it (step-by-step):
- Inhale like a pro: Take a slow, deep drag (don’t just sip—fill your mouth/throat with vapor, but don’t inhale into your lungs yet). More vapor = better ring!
- Pucker up: Make a tight O-shape with your lips—like you’re kissing a fish
(yes, really). The smaller the O, the tighter the ring. - Tongue flick: Curl your tongue upward (touch the roof of your mouth), then quickly push the tip forward (like flicking a crumb off a table).
This “flicks” the vapor out in a burst—hello, ring! - Practice, practice, practice: It might look like a lopsided pancake at first
—don’t panic! 90% of vapers nail it in 30 mins (we tested… yes, we made interns practice. 
).
Trick 2: The “Machine Gun” Mini Rings (Tiny Circles, Big Fun) 
Want to level up? Try “machine gun” rings—tiny, fast circles that look like you’re shooting smoke bullets. 
It’s easier than it looks, and so satisfying.
How to do it:
- Start with the O-mouth (same as Trick 1).
- Lightly press your index finger on one cheek.
- Tap, tap, tap: Gently but quickly tap your cheek with your finger—each tap pushes a tiny burst of vapor out, forming mini rings.
Pro tip: Tap faster for a “machine gun” effect, slower for spaced-out circles.
Why it works: Tapping your cheek squeezes your mouth like a tiny bellows, shooting vapor in quick, controlled puffs. It’s like blowing bubbles with a bubble wand—tap the wand, get bubbles! 
Pro Tip: Use the Right Pod (Spoiler: VAPORESSO XROS 5 = Trick MVP)
You can’t build a house without a solid foundation—and you can’t blow epic rings without a pod that cranks out dense, slow vapor. Enter the XROS 5:
- Dual Mesh Coils: Our 0.6Ω mesh coils heat e-liquid evenly, creating thick, billowy vapor that holds ring shape longer (no more “popped” circles!).
- Adjustable Airflow: Tighten the airflow (1-2 dots) to slow vapor down—thicker, slower vapor = more control for tricks.
- No Leaks, No Stress: SSS Leakproof Tech 3.0 means you can focus on flicking tongues, not cleaning juice off your phone.

Final Thought: Practice Makes Perfect (And a Little Patience!)
Even pros started with wobbly circles—don’t get discouraged if your first 50 rings look like amoebas.
