Proper Device Set Up

Follow these steps to ensure your device is ready to make that thick vape ring:

Heating element is properly primed (if necessary)

If you are using an atomizer or cartomizer, be sure to check out our heating elements section of our Knowledge Base to be sure you've properly primed your heating element for best results.

eLiquid Level Is Full

Depending on the heating element you choose to use, you'll want to make sure your eliquid levels are full without over filling your heating element. This will allow more time to focus on mastering your vapor trick rather than worrying about your eliquid levels. View all 15 ml eliquid bottles > I View all 30 ml eliquid bottles >

Follow these Step-By-Step images to create your own Vape Cannon:

Step 1:

Take your Styrofoam cup and draw a circle in the middle that leaves a lip that is ½ of an inch wide all the way around. Afterwards, take your Styrofoam cup and use your butter knife to cut out a circle in the middle following the line that you drew.

Step 2:

Take the thin plastic bag and cut out a square piece that is big enough to put over the top of the cup with some plastic leftover on the sides.

*Vaping Science Fun Fact!

Did you know that the technical term for a donut shape is “torus”? One of these floating rings is called a toroidal vortex. Air and vapor are spinning from the inside of the donut to the outside, it is this spin that keeps the torus together (and forms the ring) as it moves away from your Vape Cannon.
