Stealth Vapes for 2023: How To Vape Like You Are Totally Invisible

Some vapers love blowing huge clouds, doing vape tricks and bringing as much attention to their vaping session as possible. Every now and then you’ll see them out and about with their vape mods, just subtly visible behind a dense vape fog with a small group of interested people surrounding them in curiosity. However, not every vaper begs for this type of attention. In fact, some vapers live in areas where vaping is much more restricted, looked down upon, or maybe even illegal. While some vapers command to be the centre of attention, others have a much different objective. If anything, they seek the opposite - the ability to seem totally invisible while they are vaping.

At times, we just want to vape in peace, without the awkward stares or question from others. This is where “stealth vape” is extremely useful. In this guide, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know to vape like you’re invisible; from the perfect stealth mods to the expert vaping techniques that ensure your vaping session goes unnoticed.

Why The Need To Stealth Vape?

It’s unfortunate that we even need to stealth vape. In a perfect world, everyone would just accept that vaping is awesome and we’d all be able to vape in peace. Unfortunately, we don’t live in a perfect world. Every day, vaping laws and regulations seem to shift - where we are allowed to vape and where we aren’t isn’t always as clear as we’d like it to be. In some regions, it’s perfectly fine to vape in bars and some public outdoor areas, while other places ban vaping from all public places.

When a smoker is smoking a cigarette, no one ever approaches them with a million questions - “Hey what’s that thing? What does it do? Where’d you get it? Can I try it?” However, a quick vaping session in a region where vaping is a rarity can turn you into an instant centrepiece of attraction from curious passers-by. Stealth vape is sometimes just about protecting your peace and privacy, and being able to enjoy your device without becoming a community spectacle. Blowing huge clouds might be perfectly acceptable within the comfort of our your own home, but doing so in some public venues may instantly attract attention that you may not care for.

Sometimes stealth vaping is just about respecting those around us. While it would be ideal for everyone to allow us to vape in peace no matter where we are, some people are just uncomfortable being around vapers while they are vaping. Stealth vaping allows us to respect those less-accepting individuals within our vicinity, without needing to give up our right to enjoy our vape!

Let’s face it, sometimes we just need a quick pull on our device to deal with the stress of the day. Whether it’s while at the job or at the bar, sometimes we just want an enjoyable moment with our favourite vape juice flavour without someone tapping us on the shoulder to tell us we can’t. Is vaping really hurting anyone if no one even knows you’re vaping? Well, it’s something like - if a tree falls in the forest but no one is there to hear it, does it make a sound? You be the judge; but nonetheless, sometimes it’s necessary to go into stealth vape mode - and we’re going to show you how!

Key Tips For Vaping Stealthy

The key to vaping stealth is knowing exactly what factors are a dead-giveaway and vaping in a way that effectively minimizes them. If you’re looking for a discrete way to vape, here are several stealth vaping techniques you should consider:

• Don’t Be Weird: There’s nothing that seems more suspicious than an antsy person who is acting as if they have something to hide. Stealth is about not drawing attention to yourself. A good spy is a good spy because they can hide in plain sight and no one suspects them. If you look like you’re hiding something, it’s probably because you are. Don’t act weird, just be normal and avoid going too far out of your normal routine (like going to the bathroom at your job every 14 minutes). Do what you normally do and find opportunities for a stealthy vape session when you’re sure that there are no eyes directly on you.
• Choose A Stealth Device: There are thousands of devices available on the market today, and each of them are designed to provide a specific vaping experience. Sub-ohm mods for example, were meant to offer extreme power; this means bigger clouds and more noise from the device. These type of mods can draw a lot of attention and definitely aren’t meant for stealthy vapers. Pod mod systems on the other hand, were made specifically for stealth vapingstealth vape devices!
• Use The Right Vape Juice Flavours: The flavour profile of your juice is extremely important when stealth vaping. Vape leaves an aroma in the air similar to the juice that is being vaped. Many of these aromas are pleasant even to non-vapers, but not all of them are normal scents that you would come across in a regular non-vaping occurrence. Menthol is a great stealth vape juice flavour since noticing a “mint” smell in the air can be passed off as one of many things like candy or gum. Tobacco flavours on the other hand are commonly associated with smoking and vaping and create a tell-tale clue of your activity when attempting to enjoy your vape discreetly. Choose a juice that isn’t too overly aromatic and that isn’t too unfamiliar in the daily life of non-vapers. Good vape flavour choices for stealthy vaping include citrus and creams; while heavy fruit and dessert flavours should be saved for times when maintaining your cover isn’t as important!
• Manage Clouds: Even small clouds are noticeable - and a true stealth vape expert knows the secrets to dispersing clouds before they make it into the air. One trick to doing so is to use some type of filter to absorb the majority of the vape before it rises into the air. More simply put, blow the vape into your shirt or through a paper towel - both of which will help minimize the amount of vape that releases into the air.
• Hold Your Vape Longer: Another trick to minimizing the amount of vapour in the air is to hold it longer before exhaling. The longer you hold vape inside, the less will be released when you exhale. While vapour naturally disperses quickly into the air, the less vape that you release, the less noticeable it will be to others around you.

Small Vapes For Invisible Vaping

In our opinion, there are no devices better for stealth vaping than pod mod systems. Pod mod systems are super simple to operate, and compared to other device types, they are much easier to use in a discrete manner. Pod mods don’t produce super huge clouds, they aren’t loud during operation and most of them don’t have bright LEDs that light up during operation. When it comes to stealth vaping, those are all the factors that we find most effective! If stealth is what you’re looking for, here’s our top five stealth vaping pod choices:

Suorin Drop

The Surion Drop is an ultra stealthy pod system that makes it easy to vape where you want and when you want. With it’s ultra unique squished teardrop shape, on first glance, most people don’t even realize that it’s a vape device! Even with this ergonomic design, Suorin was able to squeeze in a ton of function. This device is only 3 inches tall and is designed for a perfect in-the-hand feel. Unlike other pod systems, the Suorin is made with a small but highly durable body. This stealth vape mod has a detachable pod that can be easily refilled with your favourite juice and swapped out quickly for the ultimate discrete vape experience.

SMOK Infinix

Looks like a very popular brand of vape pen but performs so much better. SMOK have created a Juul killer with this super cool and sleek Infinix vape pen. Roughly the same size it has a bigger battery and larger pods, plus you can choose to fill it with any nic salt vape juice you want. The draw is very similar to smoking a cigarette so it's perfect for someone looking to give up smoking. Super stealthy and it won't hurt your bank balance, the starter kit which comes with two pods is much cheaper than a Juul.

Suorin Air

Suorin has certainly made a reputation in the world of pod mod systems, and this reign of uniqueness didn’t stop with the Surion Air. This device measures only 86mm x 54mm x 8mm and weighs only 136g - making it one of the most compact, most discrete and smallest vape mods available on the market.

In some instances, such as on an airplane or at your job, vaping can have serious consequences if you choose to ignore rules or restrictions that are in place. Use your own discernment to decide when it’s best to vape normally, vape stealth, or not vape at all; but when you choose to vape stealth, use this guide to make sure you can do so most effectively!
