Everything You Need to Know About Stealth Vaping

Chasing those big fluffy clouds of vapor is part of what makes vaping so fun. However, there’s bound to be situations where you’re just fiending for a nicotine fix, but you can’t really be seen vaping. I had this problem when I was visiting my parents house during the holidays. They didn’t care that I was vaping, but we had family over and it was cold as balls outside – so I did what I had to do by stealth vaping that shiznit. I’ll explain and show you the techniques I used so you can be a vape ninja, just like me – hi-yah!

Do I need any special equipment?

No not really, you can stealth vape with any-type of e cig, but there are some set-ups that make stealth vaping way easier than others. If you vape with a smallish battery with the lowest watts/volts setting that you can stand, avoid ultra low resistance coils/headers, and use a higher pg content, ninja stealth vaping will be a lot easier because you won’t produce huge voluptuous plumes of vapor to begin with. However, if you don’t want to use those suggestions, that’s fine, but you’ll probably have to practice a bit more before testing your ninja stealth vaping skills in the wild.

Quick, tell me what do I have to do – I’m dying for some nicotine.

It’s really easy, you’ll be ingesting that sweet sweet nicotine soon, so just hold tight! Let’s go through this step by step, together.

1. Hold your mod so that it’s mostly hidden. There’s no point in hiding your vapor while your mod is hanging out loud and proud. It’s easier to hide a smaller mod than a larger one – especially if you have tiny baby hands, like me. However, I’m stubborn and refuse to use anything other than my MVP 2.0 at the moment, so I have to work really hard to hide my mod.

2. Take a drag, but don’t exhale yet! It’s best if the drag is a bit more shallow than normal (whateva, I accidentally held my camera sideways – I do what I want!).

3. Take in two big gulps of air, without letting any vapor out.

4. Now, hold the vapor in your lungs for a few seconds. But uh, try not to make your face as conspicuous as mine.

5. Make a tiny opening with your mouth and exhale downwards, like so:

Better yet, while you’re exhaling (as demonstrated above), ball up your fist and place it in-front of your mouth, like your’re coughing.

7. Repeat! I’ve compiled a .gif of what all the steps should look like together. This is what it should look like.

Make sure that you practice this at home in-front of a mirror, or a camera, to make sure your technique is fluid and consistent. If you’re still seeing clouds, despite the procedure I’ve outlined, you can try the following additional steps:

Inhale even less vapor.

Hold the vapor for an even longer duration in your lungs before exhaling.

Exhale in the crook of your arm, instead of your fist. If you have a blanket or scarf around, you can dry exhaling through that – just try not to look too shady.

With stealth vaping comes great responsibility.

Just because you know how to stealth vape, it doesn’t mean you should do it all the time. onVaping absolutely does not endorse vaping in areas where you shouldn’t legally be vaping. Even though e cigarettes have helped so many people, there’s still a huge segment of the population who are misinformed and freaked out by e cigs. It’s our job, as the ambassadors for all vape-kind, to show the world just how great vaping really is. If the wrong person catches you stealth vaping where you shouldn’t, that’ll only open the door for more negative press and restrictive legislation.

I’m not telling you not to stealth vape, there are plenty of situations where I’ve needed to stealth vape like driving in the car, family gatherings, or even in the grocery store bathroom (vaping in public places isn’t banned in my city/state). But I get it, there will be times when you just ABSOLUTELY need some nicotine and for whatever reason, you won’t be able to go outside. Just be smart and don’t ruin it for the rest of us – I’m trusting you!
