So, you want to know how to zero a vape? You’ve landed in the right spot. Whether you’re aiming for a more discreet experience or simply want to minimize visible vapor, mastering this technique can make all the difference.


Zeroing involves adjusting your vaping style to reduce vapor production, allowing for stealthy enjoyment. You can achieve this by using compact devices with lower wattage and higher nicotine levels, which produce lighter vapor that dissipates quickly. Experimenting with inhalation techniques, like taking shorter puffs or inhaling quickly, can also help.


With some practice and experimentation, you can refine your approach and enjoy a satisfying, discreet vaping experience. Let us share the methods and some tips to master zeroing your vape!

Zeroing 101: The Fundamentals of Ghost Inhaling

Ghost inhaling involves taking a puff and quickly drawing the vapor back into your lungs before exhaling it. This technique reduces the amount of visible vapor produced, making it an essential skill for discreet vaping. It's closely tied to zeroing, as both focus on minimizing vapor output.

Step-by-step Guide to Mastering Ghost Inhaling

  • Step #1: Choose your device. Select a compact vape device with lower wattage. Smaller pod systems often work best for this technique.
  • Step #2: Select your e-liquid. Pick an e-liquid that suits your taste. Lower nicotine strength can help prevent throat irritation while you practice.
  • Step #3: Prepare to inhale. Take a slow, steady puff. Ensure your lips create a tight seal around the mouthpiece to capture the vapor.
  • Step #4: Ghost the vapor. Instead of exhaling immediately, quickly inhale the vapor back into your lungs. This might take some practice to get comfortable.
  • Step #5: Exhale wisely. If you want to exhale, do so slowly. Focus on letting the vapor dissipate gradually to minimize visibility.
  • Step #6: Practice. Like any skill, ghost inhaling takes practice. Experiment with different techniques until you find what works best for you.

Advanced Zeroing Techniques 

French Inhale

This technique involves inhaling vapor through your mouth and allowing it to escape from your nose. Here’s how to do it:

  1. Take a puff and hold the vapor in your mouth.
  2. Open your mouth slightly and let the vapor flow out while inhaling through your nose.

Pros 

Cons

The French Inhale creates a captivating visual effect and significantly reduces visible vapor.

It requires practice to perfect and may be less effective in extremely crowded areas where even minimal vapor can attract attention.

Snap Inhale

The Snap Inhale method focuses on quickly inhaling the vapor back into your lungs after exhaling a small puff.

  1. Take a small puff.
  2. Immediately inhale sharply to pull the vapor back into your lungs.

Pros

Cons

This technique minimizes visible vapor and can create a satisfying throat hit.

It can be difficult to master and may cause coughing if done too aggressively.

Other Techniques

The Swallow Technique

Inhale vapor, hold it in your mouth for a few seconds, then take a deep breath through your nose and swallow. This method effectively reduces vapor visibility but requires practice to execute smoothly.

The Palm Vape Approach

Hold your device in your palm, covering any LED lights. This is perfect for discreet vaping in crowded spaces.

The Second Inhale Technique

After removing the vape, inhale air to dilute the vapor before exhaling. This helps make the vapor less noticeable.

Choosing the Right Vape for Zeroing

Selecting the right vape device is key to mastering zeroing techniques. Different devices affect how easily you can minimize vapor output.

  • Pod Systems: Compact devices usually have lower wattage and higher resistance coils. They produce lighter vapor that dissipates quickly, making them perfect for discreet vaping.
  • Sub-Ohm Tanks: Deliver big clouds and intense flavor but aren't great for zeroing. Their high wattage generates a lot of vapor, making stealth more challenging. If you prefer these, you’ll need to adjust your technique.
  • Cigalikes and Low-Wattage Devices: Good for beginners and produce minimal vapor. They help reduce throat irritation, which is beneficial when practicing zeroing.

Choosing the Right Juice for Zeroing

The PG/VG ratio and nicotine strength affect how much vapor you produce. PG is thinner and creates less vapor, while VG is thicker and makes more clouds. For zeroing, choose a higher PG ratio. It offers a smoother hit and reduces visible vapor.

Higher nicotine levels let you satisfy cravings with smaller puffs, which helps keep vapor down. If you're starting, try moderate nicotine strengths. You should aim for e-liquids with a PG/VG ratio of 70/30 or 80/20. This balance improves flavor and lowers vapor. Choose nicotine strengths like 3mg or 6mg based on your preference.

Practice Makes Perfect: Tips for Honing Your Zeroing Skills

Practical Exercises

  • Take shorter puffs to reduce vapor production. Inhale lightly and quickly.
  • Inhale the vapor, hold it in your mouth for a few seconds, then swallow. This keeps vapor output low.
  • Vape in front of a mirror to see how much vapor you exhale. This helps you adjust for less visibility.

Common Mistakes

  1. Avoid exhaling too much vapor at once. Take smaller puffs and exhale slowly.
  2. High VG E-liquids create larger clouds. Choose higher PG e-liquids for better control.
  3. Changing wattage frequently can affect your technique. Stick to a consistent setting for discreet vaping.

When and Where to Zero

Respecting vaping regulations and the comfort of those around you is essential when zeroing. Always be aware of local laws regarding vaping in public spaces, as well as any designated areas for vaping. Here are some guidelines for appropriate use:

  • Opt for areas where vaping is allowed and won’t disturb others, such as designated smoking areas or private settings.
  • If you’re with non-vapers, consider their comfort. Use zeroing techniques to keep vapor output low and avoid drawing attention.
  • Familiarize yourself with specific regulations regarding vaping in public or shared spaces in your area.

Conclusion

Mastering the art of zeroing takes practice and awareness. By refining your technique and being mindful of your surroundings, you can enjoy a discreet vaping experience that respects regulations and the comfort of those around you. High-quality devices like the WAKA DUO and WAKA Heavy Hitter 30K enhance your ability to minimize vapor output, making them excellent choices for anyone looking to improve their zeroing skills.
