Want thicker clouds? You’ve come to the right place.

For years, cloud chasers have lugged around hefty box mods. While great for vapor production and larger clouds, they’re not exactly the most portable. And if you accidentally drop it? It sounds and feels terrifying.

But in 2025, the best vape for clouds isn’t what you’d expect. New technology is changing how we achieve those satisfying puffs without compromising on size, battery life, or vaping experience.

Cloud vaping is a pretty niche hobby in the weed world. While it’s arguably most popular in the nicotine vaping world, many stoners seek thicker clouds for more flavor and potency. Plus, it’s downright fun.

What started with simple e-cigs is now way more sophisticated, with cloud chasing competitions popping up worldwide. Turns out, people love the satisfaction of exhaling a massive cloud. Why? It’s pretty rewarding, both physically and visually.

Seasoned vapers understand that producing thicker clouds takes the perfect combination of equipment and technique to maximize vapor production and get those clouds puffy.

Sub-ohm vaping changed the game by allowing coils with resistance below 1.0 ohm for more heat and substantially more vapor. And now, it’s pushing the boundaries of cloud production.

If you really want to produce bigger clouds, see our guide below.

Want to know how to blow big vape clouds? While your chosen device matters, it really comes down to a science:

For dry herb vaporizers like the PAX FLOW:

• Proper grind consistency: A medium-fine grind increases surface area for more efficient vaporization
• Moisture content: Slightly sticky but not wet flower produces thicker clouds
• Terpene-rich strains: Terpenes and a higher resin content naturally generate denser clouds
• Fresh flower: Produces stronger clouds than older, dried-out material
• Full chamber packing: Not too tight, not too loose, for optimal airflow and heat distribution

Coil design also affects how your device vaporizes e-liquid:

• Dual coils: Increase surface area and create larger clouds than single coil setups
• Fused Clapton coils: Their complex wire structure is perfect for both flavor and clouds
• Lower resistance: Sub-ohm coils and ohm vape kits generate more heat and a lot more vapor

If you really want huge clouds, it helps if your device has the following:

• Adjustable airflow: Set to allow maximum air intake
• Higher wattage: These settings generate more heat
• Power output: Matched to your coil’s optimal range
• Sufficient battery capacity: For consistent clouds

Even with the perfect setup, it won’t mean much if you’re not inhaling properly. There are two ways to do it, depending on your end goals:

Maximum Effects, Less Dense Clouds:

1. Take a slow, deep, direct-lung inhale
2. Fill your lungs to about 80% capacity
3. Hold the vapor briefly (1-2 seconds)
4. Exhale slowly and steadily

This technique helps maximize the vapor your lungs can hold. While you won’t have the thickest clouds on the exhale, this method maximizes potency.

Maximum Clouds, Fewer Effects

1. Draw from the device and hold the vapor in your mouth
2. Swish it around for 2-3 seconds
3. Exhale slowly or perform a smoke trick

As you can tell, this technique is mainly used for devices with low-to-no nicotine strengths, since it’s solely used for cloud production and doesn’t involve the most efficient inhalation technique for maximum effects.

You didn’t think we’d toss in a PAX vape when discussing big clouds, did you? These modern vapes deliver more than satisfying visuals and breezy portability.

The star of the show? The PAX FLOW. It literally brings the heat (and none of the harsh smoke) with your favorite strains in a new and improved hybrid heating system.

This sleek device can take 0.25g to 0.5g of flower, and it loads like a traditional pipe through the convenient “side door.” But what makes it particularly effective for big clouds? The PAX FLOW delivers up to 4x more airflow than previous PAX vaporizers. It was literally designed for maximum vapor production and less draw resistance.

With five heat settings to choose from, finding your vaping temperature sweet spot for hefty clouds is easy. Grab your PAX FLOW today.

Keep your gear fresh, discreet, and easy to find with the PAX Stash Box.

This smell-proof, airtight container is built tough and made to impress. It features dual inner compartments, a tray, and a sleek aluminum lid that doubles as a prep surface. Whether you’re storing your device, flower, or accessories, everything fits perfectly—especially if you pair it with the PAX Grinder and Stash Jars.

The PAX Prep Tray gives you a clean surface to load your flowers, while the Prep Tongs keep everything tidy and precise. Want to take it even further? The Water Pipe Adapter connects your PAX to your favorite bong for cooler, water-filtered vapor…and way bigger hits.

Whether you’re into order, clouds, or both, these essentials have you covered.

Once you’ve mastered producing huge clouds, learning vape tricks adds another layer of fun to your cloud-chasing sessions. We’ve broken down all the classic smoke tricks in this guide, but here’s a quick look at some of the best ones:

This is a standard vape trick that vapers pull out of their arsenal. While we definitely recommend YouTube tutorials for technique, here’s how it’s done:

• Forming your mouth into an “O” shape
• Using your throat (not lungs) to push out small, controlled bursts of vapor
• Keeping your tongue at the bottom of your mouth
• Using quick, light throat pulses rather than coughing

This trick makes you look like a fire-breathing dragon, where vapor escapes from your nose and both sides of your mouth at the same time:

• Take a large draw without inhaling fully into your lungs
• Keep the vapor in your mouth
• Open the sides of your mouth while keeping the center closed
• Exhale forcefully through your nose and both sides of your mouth

This one takes some practice. The goal is to create a spinning vortex that looks like a mini tornado:

• Exhale a dense cloud onto a flat surface
• Quickly slice through the vapor with your hand held perpendicular
• In the same quick motion, move your hand upward (sort of like a scoop)

Perfect these tricks, and you have the base knowledge and movements for practically any smoke trick in the book.
