Vapor Rings and Other Tricks

[vtac]

stickstones asked about 'em, so I tried to make a video. It didn't turn out as well as I'd hoped, guess I'm rusty compared to when I smoked cigarettes, and it was kind of difficult when the camera was rolling... and trying to do everything with two hands.

You can see how dramatically lighting affects vapor visibility. Sun rays shining through a window in an otherwise unlit room seems to work really well. A dark backdrop helps as well.

This spare room at my friend's place is great. It was fairly cloudy during the vid, when the sun is shining, vapor just glows. The hits were fairly big, if only I'd brought the ice chamber...

Dude, those were awesome! Better than any smoke rings I have seen...those guys just hung there forever. I have only done rings with cigars, where all the smoke stays in my mouth and it is easy to manipulate into rings. How do you do it when you are inhaling the vapor? Do you exhale into your closed mouth and then blow them? I want to do that.

wow so round LOL I have no skill to to that LOL I'm so jalous

 

[vtac]

Thanks guys!

The technique is the same as with smoke. You just need a thick hit and good lighting.

Here's another trick: "Vapor Shakes"

........4hour20minut UH LOLLL funny link to !!! I ever notice this phenomen during I was vaping with a clear tube and ice cold water !!!

certainly not as prominent as your rings vtac, but i got a couple vape rings off in this video. the overhead fan was on and i wasnt really trying as hard as i could to do perfect ones(cuz i suck at them and can only sporadically do perfect ones anyways).

i was mainly showing the style of the hit(puffing-like) and something that i meant to get into more of but didnt really talk about in the exhale, how ill blow a bit/halfish of my full hit out, suck in some fresh air and repeat that process until no more vapor is exhaled.

anyways, here is the full vid, enjoy

Mmmm those looked extravagant.

Cool technique, but if I did that I'd be sneezing like a motherfucker.

:ssv: 4 life

 

[tokinGLX]

haha, great point!

im not really a person prone to sneezing, but it does tickle that nerve so it may catch some people by surprise

Vtac, that youtube smoke ring link is sick,your the man, looking @ the number of hit's on the vid, makes you realise this info is new and still need's to be disseminated big time, i couldn't believe the vapor of that one hit and the number of ring's blown, mind blowing, i'd be prepared to compromise on flavour on and off to get hit's like that, in fact i'm sold i just have to pull my head in a save, i will have a new SSV very soon, i was thinking about it b4, the video sold me


to the V

 

[vtac]

If you want big hits, you won't be disappointed.

Here's a failed attempt at capturing some big hits on film. Kind of disappointing because they looked bloody huge from my eyes. I should have gotten someone to hold the camera for me or something.

I actually fucked it up 3 times. On the third attempt the camera wasn't set on video mode so I took one snapshot and thought it was filming the whole time.

Again, lighting is key to vapor visibility.

rofl 666 posts for vtac!

i must say i find this forum rather close and cozy, its a nice relaxed place... prolly cause of all that vapor

HEY FUCK YOU BUDDY!



We keep good company.

 

[Cannabudz]

just because someone else consume's cannabis, dosn't mean they'l "get you", look @ my blood brother the other night with my Hash O/D, he's been using MJ for over 20 year's and dosn't want to see my take on all this.

we might keep good company, but it's rarified

Vaporrings (merged, after 3 years!)

Who likes to blow vapor rings?

I could never figure out how to blow smoke rings because it requires you to hold in your hit for a while and that always made me cough up a lung. Sometimes if I was smoking a blunt ( ) I could get one out of the blue but never really figured it out.


After I got a vaporizer I realized it's the perfect opportunity to master this trick. Low and behold, I am still 'mastering' it, but I've gotten it down to where I can blow some nice thick rings that stay intact half way across my room.

There is seriously nothing more enjoyable than listening to some Allman Brothers, filling the wand of with chronic (and maybe some kief) and just blowing vapor ring after vapor ring after vapor ring after vapor ring....

 

[vtac]

I do I do! Old thread was dead anyway.

Blowing smoke rings was actually one of the things I missed most about smoking cigarettes, habit within a habit. Long live vapor!

Haha I watched that video again, terrible execution... must have been fucked up or something.

 

[Acolyte of Zinglon]

i want to learn to do that... its harder than it looks

will prolly be a lot easier with vapor than smoke though

 

[SpiralArchitect]

Haha, my bad vtac! I'll browse through that old thread after wrapping up some HW. You can merge them, it looks like that has alot of info in it already

 

[vtac]

We can have two threads. Mainly because I can't merge without a bunch of hassle.

i want to learn to do that... its harder than it looks

I think it's actually easier with smoke because it's thicker/easier to see/hangs in the air longer. Be prepared to get really high practicing with vapor.

I wish Cannabudz was here. It's not like the old days... Such a great early contributor to this forum (ethnos) Best wishes to him.

That looks very phallic lol.

I don't really understand why people would want these, I wouldn't feel any satisfaction using a device to make smoke rings.
