FYI You will want to use a mod which is optimised for cloud chasing such as a copper mechanical mod or a unit which is able to work at very high wattage levels. The amount of airflow generated is also a crucial factor so you will need a RDA with good air flow characteristics to produce those really impressive clouds. You want a really good amount of air flowing under or across the coils for best results. The way the coil is set up and the more conductive the device is the better are also considerations for maximum cloud generation. A lot of people find that using a mech mod which has dual nano coils is particularly effective. Of course all of this is going to draw a lot of power so you will need to ensure that your battery has plenty of power if you are to produce impressive vapor clouds If there are offline events being held by vape clubs in your area then this is a great place to go to learn more and ask questions from the experts.

The great thing about the vaping community is if someone does not know the answer to a particular question then they can often put you in touch with someone who does know. While an article like this can give you some general guidance on getting your breathing right, there is no substitute for practise, practice and more practice. Generally to get the best and biggest clouds you will need to inhale the most amount of vapour that you can and then release it in a controlled manner. First you would totally empty your lungs of air and as you exhale it is a good idea to lean forward as this helps get rid of as much air as possible. When you inhale the vapour you want to do so for as long as you can and as hard as you can. Also straighten up once more as this will allow you to get more air into your lungs. Try to exhale at a constant rate and push your jaw slightly outwards as this will allow the vapour to escape more easily. Finally if you tighten your lips in the very final stage of the exhale to generate that extra final push to really produce the huge cloud that you desire. Once again, we cannot stress enough that practice really does make perfect and feel free to ask more experienced cloud chasers for their tips to help you get the really big clouds.
