How to Ghost Vape: Step-by-Step Guide for Beginners

If you’ve ever seen someone blow out a cloud of vapour that floats briefly, then gets pulled back in like magic, you’ve witnessed a ghost vape. Also known as the ghost inhale or ghost trick, it’s one of the most popular and beginner-friendly vape tricks you can learn.

It looks impressive but with the right technique and a little practice, it’s actually easy to pull off. In this guide, we’ll show you exactly how to ghost vape, what device to use and how to make your vapour thick enough for clean, visible tricks. Start with the basics at How to Vape

What Is a Ghost Vape?

A ghost vape, or ghost inhale, is a simple trick where you:

1. Inhale a small cloud of vapour

2. Let it linger out of your mouth for half a second

3. Quickly “snap” it back in with a sharp inhale

The result is a short puff of vapour that appears briefly in front of your face before disappearing as you suck it back in. It’s clean, subtle and doesn’t require massive clouds or fancy setups.

What You Need to Ghost Vape

Before you get started, here’s what helps:

A smooth MTL or restricted airflow vape
You don’t need a big mod to do tricks. In fact, tight-draw pod systems like those in our 6000 Puff Vape collection are perfect. They let you control the vapour output and draw style.

Medium to high vapour production
Mesh coils, found in most modern kits, give you denser vapour with less effort. That’s ideal for ghosting.

Some space and a calm environment
Still air helps. Wind, fans or even strong breathing will ruin the shape of your ghost cloud.

Nicotine salts or low-VG e-liquid
You don’t need a cloud-chasing liquid for ghosting. Most standard nic salt liquids (10mg or 20mg) produce enough vapour in a pod device to do the trick.

How to Ghost Vape: Step-by-Step

1. Take a slow puff into your mouth only
Don’t inhale into your lungs. Hold the vapour in your mouth, almost like you’re holding your breath.

2. Slightly open your mouth and push the vapour out
Let a small ball or puff of vapour roll out. Do not blow. Just push it out gently with your tongue or a small exhale.

3. Quickly inhale through your mouth
As soon as the vapour leaves your mouth, sharply inhale back in. The vapour cloud should disappear into your inhale.

4. Breathe out through your nose or mouth naturally
After the ghost is pulled back in, finish with a normal exhale.

Pro Tips for a Cleaner Ghost Vape

• Keep your lips relaxed. Don’t force the vapour out with a full exhale. Just open your mouth and let it drift

• Control your environment. Still air gives you the cleanest ghost

• Practice timing. If you inhale too late, the vapour will drift away. If you do it too soon, it won’t look like a ghost

• Start small. A tight cloud looks better than a big one when ghosting

• Use a mirror. Seeing yourself helps with positioning and timing
