What is The Ghost Vape trick?
The Ghost Vape is a trick where you take a mouthful of vapor, push it out as a dense ball, then quickly inhale it back in.
The ball of vapor seems to float in front of your face and then disappear, which is where the name comes from.
There are a few variations, so let’s look at each one.
The Classic Ghost Vape
This is the most basic version. Draw vapor into your mouth without inhaling it into your lungs, then make an “O” shape with your lips.
Use a short push from your throat or tongue to release a ball of vapor, rather than blowing it out. Then quickly snap your mouth forward and inhale the ball back in before it spreads out.

The Double Ghost Vape
Once you have the classic ghost down, you can try the Double Ghost.
It builds on the Classic Ghost by releasing and catching more than one ball of vapor in a row. Technique varies between vapers, so follow the video for the exact method.
It takes more practice than the basic version.

How To Do The Ghost Vape
Here's the basic method in short:
- Draw vapor into your mouth, not your lungs.
- Shape your lips into an “O” and push out a ball of vapor with a short throat or tongue movement.
- Quickly inhale the ball back in before it spreads.
Thicker vapor makes the ghost easier to see, but don't raise your wattage beyond what your coil and battery are rated for. The FDA advises following the manufacturer's recommendations for your device.
E-cigarette aerosol is not harmless water vapor. The CDC notes that it can contain harmful and potentially harmful substances, including nicotine, which is highly addictive.
Practice in a well-ventilated area, never blow vapor in someone’s face, and don't vape where smoking is banned.
