Cloud-chasing

Cloud-chasing is a term used in the context of vaping or the use of electronic cigarettes. It refers to the activity of producing large amounts of vapor using specialized vaping devices and techniques. The goal of cloud-chasing is to create the biggest and thickest clouds of vapor possible.

Overview[edit | edit source]

Cloud-chasing is often performed as a hobby or for competition. Competitions known as "cloud competitions" or "vape tricks competitions" are held where individuals or teams compete to produce the most impressive clouds of vapor. These events are judged based on cloud size, density, and overall presentation.

Devices and Techniques[edit | edit source]

Cloud-chasing requires specialized vaping devices and techniques. The devices used are often modified or built from scratch to maximize vapor production. These modifications can include increasing the device's power output and airflow, as well as using custom-built atomizers and coils.

The techniques used in cloud-chasing can also vary. Some common techniques include the "rip trippers" technique, which involves taking a long, deep inhale and exhale, and the "dragon" technique, which involves exhaling vapor through the nose and mouth simultaneously.

Health Risks[edit | edit source]

While cloud-chasing can be an enjoyable hobby for some, it is not without its health risks. The high power output of the devices used can result in higher levels of harmful chemicals being inhaled. Additionally, the use of custom-built devices and modifications can increase the risk of device malfunction and injury.
