Vape Cloud chasing has changed from a hobby of a few people to a global trend. More and more people like this activity of using electronic cigarettes to create large smoke and play various tricks. For many players, Vape Cloud chasing is not only a pastime, but also a way to show personality and skills. On social platforms, tens of thousands of Vape Cloud chasing videos are shared every day. Some people get millions of likes for a stunning smoke circle, and some people become Internet celebrities because of their unique equipment modification. This trend has also brought fire to the sales of related equipment and e-liquids, becoming the fastest growing segment in the e-cigarette market.

What is the charm of Vape Cloud chasing?

In fact, it is very simple, that is, to play various tricks with the smoke exhaled by electronic cigarettes. Novices may think it is not difficult, just take a puff and exhale, but real players know that to make large and lasting smoke, and to play complex  shapes, there are many ways behind it.

From the choice of equipment to the preparation of e-liquid, from the control of breathing to the change of mouth shape, every detail may affect the effect of Vape Cloud chasing. Now many places will also hold Vape Cloud chasing competitions, where players compete on the stage for the size of smoke, creative shape and completion, and the champion can get a high bonus and equipment provided by the sponsor.

To do Vape Cloud chasing well, suitable equipment is the basis.

The most important thing is the atomizer and the host, which directly determine the amount and concentration of smoke. The coil resistance of the atomizer is usually low, generally between 0.1 and 0.3 ohms, so that enough heat can be generated to fully atomize the e-liquid. The power of the host cannot be low either, at least 80 watts or more. Some players even use a high-power host of 200 watts to ensure that the atomizer can work continuously and stably.

The atomizers designed specifically for Vape Cloud chasing on the market now often have larger oil storage space and more reasonable airway design. For example, some atomizers can hold 8 ml of e-liquid, so players do not need to refuel frequently and can focus more on showing skills.

The choice of e-liquid has a great impact on the effect of Vape Cloud chasing.

Players all know that the higher the VG (vegetable glycerin) content in the e-liquid, the denser the smoke. Therefore, the e-liquid specifically used for Vape Cloud chasing usually has a VG ratio of more than 70%, and some even reach 100%. High-VG e-liquid has high viscosity, can form thicker smoke after atomization, and has less irritation to the throat, which is suitable for long-term practice.

In terms of taste, fruity and dessert flavors are the most popular, such as strawberry, blueberry, and cream. When the smoke disperses, it can emit an attractive aroma, making the experience of Vape Cloud chasing richer. European players pay special attention to the purity of the e-liquid. Many people will specify to use medical-grade VG raw materials, thinking that this will make the smoke cleaner and the taste smoother.

Skills are the soul of Vape Cloud chasing, and it is also the part that players are most willing to spend time practicing.

People who are new to vaping usually start with the simplest smoke rings, making an O-shape with their lips and exhaling gently to make the smoke form a complete circle. Once you are familiar with it, you can try more complex ones, such as blowing out multiple consecutive circles at a time, or making the smoke ring deform in the air.

More advanced techniques include the “smoke waterfall”, where players take a deep breath of smoke, then lower their heads and slowly exhale, allowing the smoke to flow down their bodies like a stream of water; and the “smoke tornado”, where they quickly draw their hands around the smoke, causing it to rotate and form a tornado-like shape. These techniques look simple, but they actually test breathing control and hand-eye coordination. Some players need to practice for several months to master them.

Social media has made Vape Cloud chasing more and more influential.

On TikTok and Instagram, the hashtag #VapeCloudChasing has been viewed billions of times, and many ordinary players have suddenly become popular because of a wonderful skill video. An American teenager filmed a video of a basketball being trapped in a smoke ring in his garage.

It was forwarded millions of times within a few days, and the atomizer he used was sold out. Now many brands will specifically look for these influential players to cooperate, sponsor their video creation, and even launch co-branded equipment. Southeast Asian players especially like to share Vape Cloud chasing videos on social platforms. They often shoot in busy places such as night markets and beaches. The cheering crowds in the background make the videos more contagious and spread this trend faster among young people.

Vape Cloud chasing culture in different regions has its own characteristics.

American players are more pursuing the extreme performance of equipment. Many people like to modify the atomizer by themselves, such as winding thicker heating wires, adding heat dissipation holes, and even adding water cooling systems to the host, just to produce more smoke. The United States also has the most Vape Cloud chasing competitions, with the highest prize money reaching tens of thousands of dollars, attracting masters from all over the world to participate. However, the United States has increasingly strict regulations on e-cigarettes. Some states stipulate that competitions cannot be held publicly, and players can only communicate in private venues.

Vape Cloud chasing in Europe focuses more on the artistry of skills.

Players in the UK and Germany do not pursue the size of the smoke, but are more concerned about the delicacy of the smoke and the creativity of the shape. In a competition in London, a player used smoke to draw the outline of the local iconic Big Ben. Although the smoke was not big, the details were realistic, and he won the championship in the end. European regulations limit the nicotine content of e-liquids, which makes players more focused on the flavor blending and smoke skills of nicotine-free e-liquids. Many people think that this is the pure fun of Vape Cloud chasing.

Vape Cloud chasing in Southeast Asia is in a stage of rapid growth.

Young people in countries such as Malaysia and the Philippines regard Vape Cloud chasing as a way of socializing. When friends get together, they often compare skills with each other to see whose smoke is cooler. Local e-cigarette stores are also very good at catering to this trend, and often hold small competitions at the door of the store.

The winner can get free e-liquid or accessories. Southeast Asian players generally don’t have a high budget for equipment, so cost-effective sets are the most popular. A set of host and atomizer with a price of between $50 and $100 has much better sales than high-end products. However, it should be noted that some countries in Southeast Asia have strict control over e-cigarettes. For example, Thailand prohibits any form of Vape Cloud chasing activities. You must first understand the regulations before doing related business there.

Compliance is an issue that must be taken seriously when doing business related to Vape Cloud chasing.

Different countries have different regulations on e-cigarette equipment and e-liquids, and you may violate the rules if you are not careful. The US FDA requires that all e-cigarette products must be PMTA certified before they can be sold, including those high-power hosts specifically used for Vape Cloud chasing. Once uncertified products are found, they will not only be confiscated, but may also face high fines.

The EU’s TPD regulations have strict restrictions on the capacity and nicotine concentration of e-liquid. The e-liquid bottle cannot exceed 10 ml, and the nicotine content cannot exceed 20 mg/ml. This has little impact on products that focus on large smoke, but there must be a striking health warning on the packaging, and the font size cannot be less than 30% of the packaging area.

China’s supervision of e-cigarettes is also constantly strengthening. Now e-cigarettes cannot be sold online, and offline sales require a special license, and they are not allowed to be sold to minors. Although there are many players who like Vape Cloud chasing in China, public competitions and publicity are relatively rare, and more players communicate privately. If you are doing cross-border e-commerce and selling related equipment to other countries, you must first understand the specific regulations of the destination country, such as which products need to be certified and what documents are required for import to avoid the goods being detained or punished.

There will be more new changes in the future of Vape Cloud chasing.

In terms of equipment, some manufacturers are now developing smart atomizers that can automatically adjust the heating temperature according to the VG ratio of the e-liquid, so that novices can easily make large smoke without having to bother to debug parameters.

This intelligent device may make more people willing to try Vape Cloud chasing and expand the scale of this circle. In terms of e-liquid, more and more players are beginning to pay attention to the naturalness of raw materials. Organic VG and natural fruit extracts will be more popular. After all, many people play Vape Cloud chasing for a long time and care about the health effects.

The combination of skills and performance will be closer.

Now some players have begun to combine Vape Cloud chasing with dance and magic, such as inserting smoke skills while dancing, or using smoke to enhance the mystery of magic. A French team even incorporated Vape Cloud chasing into drama performances, using different colors of smoke (achieved by adding food coloring) to show the changes in the plot, which is very popular with the audience. In the future, there may be more such innovative forms, turning Vape Cloud chasing from a simple hobby into a new performing art.

The popularity of Vape Cloud chasing actually reflects young people’s pursuit of novel experiences and self-expression. For them, making a perfect smoke shape is as fulfilling as an athlete completing a difficult move, and sharing it on social platforms to get likes is also a way to be recognized. No matter how this trend will change in the future, as long as there are people who like the fun of creation and display, Vape Cloud chasing will continue to exist. And for those who want to do business in this field, keeping up with the trend, complying with local laws and regulations, and truly understanding the needs of players are the keys to long-term development.
