Have you ever sat around a joint or bong and watched one of your friends nonchalantly puffing beautiful smoke rings and wondered how he did it? Have you then tried to make smoke rings yourself and failed miserably?

Making smoke rings consistently, whether it’s with an e-cigarette, vaporizer, cigarette, joint or any other device, is no easy feat!

If you can’t do it, don’t worry, you’re certainly not alone. Blowing nice smoke rings isn’t easy, and it doesn’t help that there are so many different techniques. It seems like everyone you ask has a different trick or ruse, but it doesn’t have to be that complicated.

Next time you smoke solo, follow these 4 steps to practice your puffs and become a pro.

How to blow a smoke

Step 1: Inhale a puff of smoke or vapor from your device

This technique can work by inhaling or not inhaling the smoke/vapor produced, but for the purposes of this training, it’s best to start by not inhaling the smoke (taking a shit) to get a thicker smoke or vapor.

Take a long puff on your joint, joint or whatever, but don’t inhale; close your lips and let the smoke rest in your mouth, as you’ll need it to make a thick smoke ring. 

You’ll enjoy the flavor more this way, especially if you smoke flavored shisha tobacco, vaporize a quality herb or a flavored e-liquid.

The thickness of the smoke is determined by the product you inhale and will affect the density and thickness of the puff.

Step 2: Press your tongue against the back of your mouth

With your lips still closed, move your tongue back slightly, pressing it against the back of your mouth. This will draw the smoke back into the throat and create a clear path for the smoke rings. The tongue should lie flat here!

Step 3: Mold the cheeks and lips as if you were sucking on a lollipop and open your mouth to form an “o”

Pretend you are sucking on a lollipop and tuck in the cheeks to form an “o” with the lips. The mouth should be open, about the size of an M&M (the candy) and the lower jaw back.

The sides of your days should be relatively flat during this step.

Step 4: Click the lower jaw forward to blow a smoke ring

To blow a smoke ring, click the lower jaw forward while holding the “o” shape with your lips. The forward click of the jaw should produce a short breath and, with it, a perfectly round smoke ring that you will blow into the air.

Some people compare this movement to a slight cough to push the smoke forward.

Tips

• If there is any wind or air movement created by people moving next to you, you’ll find it difficult to keep your rounds in order. In this case, try to find a more suitable place in the room. Depending on the source of the air movement, it may also be a good idea to send the rounds in another direction.
• Try practicing in front of a mirror. You’ll be able to see how the smoke forms, how it floats, and how your mouth shape and movements affect it.
• Be patient when trying to learn how to make perfect smoke rings. It won’t necessarily work the first time, and it will take quite a bit of practice to get it right.
• To make a small circle through a larger one, just consider the direction of the smoke rings and their velocities. Carefully blow one round so that it holds its shape as it moves slowly, then close your lips a little tighter and blow another round. The smaller one should move faster naturally, but if it doesn’t, pucker your lip to make it move faster. After that, just aim!
• Here’s a simple method for beginners: to make smoke rings that last quickly and accurately, lift your jaw quickly instead of trying to force the air out with your glottis.
• The speed at which your rings move will be determined by the strength of the pressure you exert on your final “cough.” To do this, you must push the smoke into your throat using your diaphragm, as if you were going to exhale forcefully or cough.
