Ready For Competitive Cloud Chasing?

Even if you aren’t a highly experienced vaper, you’ve likely already heard of cloud chasing. It spread quickly in the United States and soon migrated to the UK as one of the year’s biggest trends. Those who have witnessed this phenomenon usually can’t decide whether to be intimidated or impressed. And if you don’t know much about it because you are a beginner vaper, you may be under the mistaken impression that it’s only for people with lots of money to spend on pricey vaping equipment. The truth is that the cloud chasing community can be the perfect place to associate with other vapors, get advice on products, and have a little fun with friendly people.

What’s It All About?

Almost anything these days can be made into a competition – i.e. competitive burger eating, cheese rolling, extreme frisbee – so why should vaping be any different? What cloud chasing basically entails is seeing who can make the densest, biggest cloud of vapor. Those who choose to watch rather than participate are dubbed cloud gazers, rather than cloud chasers. Again, those are the absolute bare bones basics.

And if you like this kind of thing, it can be fun as all get out. One should remember that one of the primary concerns about the vaping is keeping the vaper themselves free from harm. If you’re going to get into this little competition, you’ll have more fun if you educate yourself first and do your research. Getting into vaping just to go cloud chasing may not be the best reason to start, however. Cloud chasing is best executed by people who already appreciate the joys of vaping and have the experience and knowledge to participate in this activity safely.

Before You Start, Know This

OK, so you decided that you want to give cloud chasing ago. Here are some things that you should consider:

• To find out about the science behind cloud chasing, talk to an experienced vaper
• Get your hands on some safety information and guidance from an expert about prime, vaping equipment
• If you favor flavor over cloud production, you’ll want to go with a different type of e-liquid than if you’re just into vaping for the flavor so explore these options (VG liquids produce the best vapor a while high PG liquids are all about flavor)
• Know when and where to practice your cloud chasing and where and when it is inappropriate (sticking to experimenting with other vapers or in the privacy of your own home is preferable to blowing your most impressive cloud into some unsuspecting non-vapers)

What’s the Scoop on Cloud Chasing Competitions?

Time was, cloud chasing was just fun and interesting – suddenly it became a competitive sport. Now, however, it is the subject of worldwide events and the way to win some pretty sensational prizes. The prizes got better because this activity has become so large that sponsors are getting into the act. Typically, there are different classes involved and each competition. During some matches, two cloud chasers will blow out vapor at the same time while the crowd serves as judges to see who creates the most impressive cloud or, for the really experienced vapors, does tricks or routines.

If you’re looking into purchasing vaping equipment with cloud chasing in mind, check the reviews on each product. More times than not, the kind of cloud produced is mentioned in any halfway decent review by an experienced vaper. And before you get serious about cloud chasing, grab your calendar and pencil in the viewing of a competition so that you can see what it’s really all about.
