A 2023 Hemp Vaping Question: Can You Get Your Cloud Chasing Game On By Vaping Cannabinoids?

As it pertains to vaping cannabinoids, a good majority of us are searching for a reasonable way to enjoy a nice, blissful high and taste some freshly extracted terpenes when we go in for each puff. On the flip side, there is another category of vapers out there who crave only taking in huge, thick, and fluffy clouds and blowing them out for an awesome visual effect while they savor their hemp.

We recognize that cloud-chasing is a thing with nicotine-based vaping setups, due to the e-juice formulas and the power of the devices. Still, is it possible then when vaping cannabinoid-based vape oils?

The Answer: Yes and No

That’s right folks, the answer really depends on a host of factors, as it turns out. You see, if you’re looking to get some dense fog out of your cannabinoid vapes, then you simply gotta take into consideration each of these things below.

#1: Comes Down to Your Device

For starters, whether or not you’re able to chase clouds with your cannabinoid vapes depends on your actual vaping hardware. Typically, the higher the wattage level and the lower the resistance of your coil, the bigger and thicker the clouds. Some devices tailored for vape oils have those things going for them, and others don’t. Remember, there are three primary methods to vaping cannabinoids:

• Option #1: With a pre-filled cartridge that attaches to a device.
• Option #2: Using an All-In-One (AIO) disposable/rechargeable vape pen.
• Option #3: Buying a hemp vape oil bottle that can be poured into a compatible open cartridge or tank.

Note: If you’re using a disposable vape pen, the battery’s capacity tells you a lot about how much you can chase clouds. If you’re using a standard 510-threaded vape pen for your vape cartridges, it’s all about the settings, but also the coil of the cartridge itself.

#2: Depends on Your Vape Oil Formula

One of the variables about nicotine-based e-juices that make them so capable of delivering amazing clouds is that they contain an ingredient called, “vegetable glycerin”, commonly abbreviated to “VG”. This is a highly viscous thickening agent that makes the clouds nice and fluffy. You can find cannabinoid vape oils that contain VG, but they’re actually quite frowned upon. How come? Well, because they’re seen as an additive that dilutes the actual hemp. Plus, a very good majority of hemp enthusiasts only want to inhale pure hemp extracts when they vape.

#3: What You Consider the Art of Cloud Chasing To Be

Cloud-chasing is quite subjective, since there is no true metric that determines cloud quality in terms of its density and size. Technically speaking, all vaping is cloud-chasing in that we’re always releasing a cloud of vapor into the air when we exhale. So, while you likely won’t get the massive, dense clouds you get with a nicotine-based setup, you’ll still get decent cloud action with any cannabinoid vape. Not only that, but you may decide that the clouds you’re getting are good enough for you. It’s worth point out that you can still do vape tricks with cannabinoid-based vapes, like blowing rings and so on.

#4: How Deeply You Inhale

Another thing to consider is how deeply you inhale the vapor into your lungs, which determines how much vapor you’re actually inhaling. Of course, the more vapor you take in, the bigger the clouds that will come out. Now, in theory, this sounds like a simple solution – if you want to chase clouds, just take bigger pulls of vapor. But, of course, that’s not for everyone. For one thing, if you’re pulling in a ton of vapor for the sake of your clouds, you’ll need to be prepared for the fact that you may get really high – a lot higher than you’re used to. And, cannabinoid-based vape oils tend to be slightly harsher in terms of throat hit, hence you might end up coughing in an effort to get some impressive clouds while you’re vaping.

Hemp-Based Cloud Chasing Can Be Done Afterall!

Overall, anyone can chase clouds by vaping cannabinoids. Will they be the biggest clouds that you’ve ever seen? Probably not. But, you’d be surprised by how thick and fluffy that vapor can be with a good-quality setup. So, if you’re a cloud-chaser, then go ahead and take bigger pulls if you choose. Just one word of caution, though: we DO NOT recommend turning up the wattage as high as possible to produce more vapor, since you can easily burn and ruin those coils and of course, cannabinoids and terpenes in the process.
