Stealth vaping and zero vaping: What are they?

What is stealth vaping?

Stealth vaping refers to the act of vaping but doing it discretely. People will stealth vape when they don't want anyone to know that they are vaping or don't want to draw attention to themselves. However, stealth vaping can still produce a vapour cloud so sometimes it can be difficult to do it without anyone noticing, therefore it's not wise to do it where vaping is banned.

How to go about stealth vaping

People that want to stealth vape will usually use small vapes or a low-powered device, making the cloud exhaled barely noticeable. On these small devices you will also need to inhale small puffs. Even though those deeper inhales may be better, you're more than likely to be noticed if you do that. The best way to stop yourself from making big clouds is by drawing in on your device for no longer than a few seconds and pursing your lips together whilst doing so, this will help make sure that vapour doesn't get into the air at the same time.

The next thing to do is put some tape over the lights on your device. Almost every vape device on the market has LED lights that will light up every time you take a puff.

What is zero vaping?

Zero vaping falls under the category of stealth vaping, but the individual doesn't inhale any vapour, just nicotine. It should really only be done with small devices because doing it on a larger device will more than likely result in a big coughing fit, where vapour will come out of your mouth and nose. If you do decide to try and zero vape on a large device, you'll probably get noticed!

How do you zero vape?

There are two different ways an individual can zero vape. Both methods only need a few seconds inhale and both incorporate the mouth the lung method of vaping.

One way to zero vape is by taking lots of small inhales. Once you've inhaled, instead of exhaling, take another small breath in a couple of times until you feel your chest expand and then exhale with your lips pursed together.

The other way to zero vape is by doing one deep inhale. All you need to do is take one long, deep inhale into the lungs. And again exhale with pursed lips.

Vapers that have conquered the technique of zero vaping can be sat next to someone without them even noticing that they're vaping. However, there is a down side of zero vaping. Sometimes it can make the nicotine hit too high. If this is the case, then you should go back to your normal way of vaping - as after all, you're only vaping to get that good feeling.
