You should feel the smoke towards your throat, especially if you take several quick breaths.

Water bongs and pipes are usually the hardest to use for smoke tricks.

You are, in a way, simply letting the smoke escape on its own. You can tilt your head back to make it even easier.

Take a 2-3 second drag, keeping the smoke in your mouth. Curl your tongue up to the roof of your mouth, with your lips still closed. As you open your mouth, snap your tongue down to force the smoke out with a short puff of air. Quickly purse your lips, like you were whistling, and suck back in the cloud of smoke.

Try short, quick exhalations. These take some practice, but it will feel like “reverse hiccups. " A hiccup is little more than a sudden, brief inhalation, and you can feel this if you try to mimic a hiccup feeling. Instead of inhaling, though, push the air out. You can also think of making a “Huh, Huh, Huh,” sound. Place your tongue behind the hole in your lips and “flick” out bits of airs. This is the best way to shoot the rings out far, but they will be thinner and weaker rings. Try the “cheerio” method. Push your lips out so that your cheeks are slightly concave (curving into your mouth). Tap your cheek with a finger, hitting it reasonably hard to force some air out of your mouth. This is a great way to get a ton of rings quickly.

Hookahs, which produce thick smoke and burn for a long time, are often the best devices to practice on.

Start with 1/2 cup of water and a 2-second squirt of soap, then adjust accordingly.

Don’t inhale with the straw at your lips or you risk inhaling a big bunch of soap.
