What is
stealth vaping and why do it?
Going from smoking to vaping solves lots of
problems. It comes with a significantly smaller health risk, no unpleasant
odors and is also much lighter on your wallet. However, at least part of the
stigma associated with smoking has traveled over to vaping — and there may be a
variety of situations where you wouldn't want to accentuate the fact that you
are vaping.
This is where stealth vaping comes in.
What is
stealth vaping?
Stealth vaping is vaping without letting
others know that you are. It's a handy skill to have if you don't want to be
the center of attention or simply feel like keeping your vaping experience to
yourself.
What do
you need to start stealth vaping?
There are two main things that make stealth
vaping possible.
Ultra-portable vaping device. The first thing
you will need to try out stealth vaping is a discreet vape kit like the IQ Air.
Stealth vaping with a giant box mod is simply not an option, no matter how
skilled of a vaper you may be. A subtle vaping mod like IQ Air is not only easy
to conceal — it also produces less vapor and requires minimal action on your
part: no buttons to press, no settings to tweak.
Technique. Stealth vaping is no rocket science
— but you will still need to keep a few things in mind and give yourself some
time to practice. The two very basic rules of stealth vaping are these:
● Hide your LEDs. Even if you are using the very subtle and discreet IQ
Air, the small LED indicator in the bottom part of the device that lights up
when you take a hit may easily give you away. Thus, do remember to cover the
light with your hand — or, alternatively, conceal it with a piece of tape or
other material.
● Don't huff and puff. If you want to vape stealthily, you can't take big
puffs. Even minimal cloud devices like IQ Air can produce quite a bit of vapor
when you take a long draw. To not draw attention to yourself (pun intended),
inhale lightly and exhale through pursed lips.
What is
zero vaping?
Zero vaping is the major league of stealth
vaping. If you master this skill, you will be able to vape pretty much anywhere
without others noticing. When you zero vape, you take a hit without exhaling
any vapor. Once again, the prerequisites for zero vaping are a small vaping mod
and the right technique. In this case, however, the learning curve may be
slightly steeper.
There are two main zero vaping techniques.
The first one involves taking multiple short
inhales. You should take a small puff and hold the exhale. Instead, inhale a
bit of air again via the mouth and nose. Do this at least one more time and
hold your breath for a few seconds before exhaling through pursed lips.
Another way to zero vapes is by taking a quick
puff and then long deep inhale (at least five seconds) to bring it into the
lungs. Once again, you will need to exhale with pursed lips.
Give each technique a few tries and see how
you feel about it. If you are vaping at a high nicotine level and doing it this
way feels uncomfortable, do not push yourself: try lowering your nicotine level
or go back to the vaping style you are used to.
Why
stealth vape?
As we've mentioned earlier, there can be quite
a few reasons why you may want to vape discreetly. It can simply be a matter of privacy or you
may be apprehensive of the reaction of people nearby. Despite the official
statement by the Public Health England saying that vaping is 95% safer than
smoking and the fact that second-hand vaping has been proven to be non-toxic,
some people may still give you a hard time over it — even if you are vaping in
a place where it is allowed.
Some vapers master the stealth vaping or zero vaping technique to avoid restrictions and vape in places where it is
forbidden. This is not something we recommend as paying a hefty fine for vaping
in the wrong place will surely leave a bad taste in your mouth — and haven’t
you switched to vaping to avoid just that?
