Vape Kits for Cloud Chasers

Explore powerful vape kits designed for cloud chasers. Get maximum vapour production and intense flavour with these high-performance options.

For those of you who are not clued in yet, cloud chasing is the competitive side of vaping. All over the globe there are teams of vape users who compete against each other to produce epic clouds of vapour, outdo each other’s fantastic vape tricks, and earn the title of the best vape device master in the region.

But cloud chasing doesn’t come easily. If you want to become a professional competitive vape user then you need confidence, stubbornness, and the ability to produce huge clouds of vapour. This means you need the correct vape device to be powerful enough to keep up with the competition… and that’s where Vape Direct come in.

Cloud chasing differs from standard vaping because you use bigger clouds, sub ohm devices, and specific techniques. If you can master all the above, then you could be a successful cloud chaser.

Here is what you need to know about buying the right vape kit to start off your career with.

What is Cloud Chasing in Vaping?

Cloud chasing is a fond nickname given to describe the world of competitive vaping. The term is quite accurate, since a prerequisite for competitive vaping is that you can produce giant ‘clouds’ of vapour. Some vapers prefer producing large clouds of vapour over other aspects of vaping such as lung-hit vaping or flavour. These vape device users make the best cloud chasers.

Those who chase clouds as a hobby tend to learn all the tricks that you can do with a high wattage vaping device. We have a previous article detailing some of those tricks, should you wish to try some for yourself. Those who do tricks compete to produce the best clouds, the coolest tricks, or the most innovative new styles. Cloud chasers also typically require specific equipment, such as high wattage vaping devices, low resistance coils (sub ohm) and high VG E-liquids since these produce bigger clouds on the out breath.

Cloud chasing defines where trends in vape mods will go next. By running competitions, brands can understand exactly what it is that their clients want or need from their vape devices. New tricks can unlock potential for research and development, so, in a way, cloud chasers and lung-hit vaping spur new growth in the vaping industry.

Key Features of Vape Kits for Cloud Chasing

Not every vape kit is created equally. Some are designed to be extra slim and fit into your jean’s pocket, while others are made to be chunky, powerful, and use low wattage or high wattage vaping. Vape kit features are extremely important to cloud chasers since they need specific cloud chasing mods to succeed in their competitions.

There are a few key features of vape kits which are suitable for cloud chasing which you should know about. Vape kit features which cloud chasers need include adjustable airflow, strong battery life, and more advanced features such as temperature control and mod compatibility for optimal cloud production.

Battery Power and High Wattage Vaping Devices

High battery power and high wattage vaping result in serious volumes of battery life. This is a key feature of a vape device which is suitable for cloud chasing. Good examples of powerful vape devices which use sub ohm coils include the GeekVape Aegis Legend 2 and the hugely powerful Vaporesso GEN 200 Kit iTank 2 Edition Vape Kit.

Cloud Chasing Mods

Mod kits are the perfect way to get ready to cloud chase. Compatibility with other parts is a huge feature to look out for as this will give you more options later.

Adjustable Airflow

Adjusting the airflow in your high wattage vape device allows better clouds but with potentially less flavour. If clouds are your goal, then adjustable airflow is one of the top features.

Temperature Control

The cooler the vape device and coil, the bigger the clouds produced. Cloud chasers therefore like to stick to high VG liquids which have better flavour on the out breath.

Mod Compatibility

Making sure you vape mods are compatible not just with other parts from the same brand, but with parts from universal connections too.

What is the Best Vape Kit for Cloud Chasers?

If you want to cloud chase you will need a powerful device with long battery life and a big tank. Since in the UK we are legally limited to 2ml tank sizes, this sometimes means a mod which can hold multiple sub-ohm tanks. Some vape devices are designed and built specifically for cloud chasing. These include the aforementioned GeekVape Aegis Legend 2 or the Aegis Legend 3 vape kits and the Voopoo Drag 4 kit.

Specifically, the best vape kits for cloud chasers should have sub ohm tanks. Box mods for cloud chasing tend to be the best since these are compatible with fine tuning these features.

It is not uncommon for competitive vapers to use heavier mod vape kit products such as the Vaporesso Armour Max Kit. If you are competing and clumsy, this kit has both power and the strength to withstand attack. The Gen 200 device from Vaporesso is another mod worthy of the title of best kit for cloud chasers.

While the aegis legends come with top airflow and a leak proof tank, the Vaporesso Gen 80s gives all the power of the armoured product but without the complete shockproof ability. While all the products mentioned have a battery strength of 18650 – about three times that of a top of the range refillable vape.

Compatibility wise, we recommend that you stick with a big brand named vape device or box mod for vaping when you choose a powerful vape for cloud chasing or a mod kit. This will give you the best chances of your device matching coils and tanks.

How to Maximise Cloud Production with Your Vape Kit

If you want to compete with the top dogs, then you need to learn how to maximise cloud production when you vape. This has to do with finding the right VG/PG balance until you find the optimal cloud chasing vape juice/vape kit combo.

Coil resistance should be set below a single ohm, which is why we refer to cloud chasing as sub ohm vaping. Airflow, wattage, and configurating your device to your own specs can all contribute to better cloud production.

Which vape juices give the best clouds? You want a higher VG/PG ratio, usually around 70 VG – 30 PG. We recommend the following products if you are looking for a vape juice which will get you started in the cloud chasing world.

Vape Juices with a 70:30 VG:PG split:

·         Double Drip sub ohm vaping juices are perfect. Check out the watermelon or Bubblegum flavours as our most popular shortfills.

·         Pacha Mama provide tropical flavoured short fills with that crucial 70/30 vape juice ideal to maximise cloud production.

·         The Punx series are all 70/30 in VG favour.

·         Dinner Lady vape juices are only 30% PG.

Low PG and high VG vape juices differ in how much vapour they produce. VG heats at a lower temperature, allowing you to vape DTL without coughing or burning your throat. Now, PG liquids are heavier and denser. They take longer to heat up and therefore more of it burns away before you can breathe it in. VG therefore produces bigger clouds of cooler vape juice.

Safety Considerations for Cloud Chasing

When you are cloud chasing, you are using the biggest and the best pieces of equipment. This can lead to heightened safety issues. There is a risk of overcharging and therefore overheating when you have such a powerful battery. You should not leave your mod or cloud chasing vape on the charger overnight or when you are not in the room.

Also consider the possibility of using too high a wattage repeatedly, for too long. Even with a VG liquid there is still a risk of burning your mouth, tongue, and lips. High quality batteries and following the battery safety tips we set out in our previous guide will help. Observing safe vaping practices and promoting safety in cloud chasing all helps to keep you and you vape device safe.

Concluding Your Cloud Chasing Introduction

Similarly, if you use safe vaping practises and maximise cloud production, you can have a great time just learning the tricks of the trade. Have fun with vape tricks.
