📽️ Video Post – The Meme That Sparked a Movement: Vape Nation by h3h3Productions

Welcome to a special video post on the Vape Nation blog — and not just any video. We're diving into one of the most iconic internet memes to ever involve clouds of vapor, peace signs, and a surprising amount of denim:
VAPE NATION. 💨✌️


🚬 The Origins of Vape Nation: h3h3Productions Goes Viral

Vape Nation meme gif featuring a person wearing a green headband and sunglasses, raising their arms to flash peace signs while surrounded by vapor.

The original Vape Nation video was released in March 2016 by the popular YouTube comedy duo h3h3Productions (Ethan and Hila Klein). Known for their satirical takes on internet culture, h3h3 hit a home run with this video — and not just among vape fans.

In the video, Ethan Klein dons oversized sunglasses, a vape pen, and an unforgettable green headband embroidered with "VAPE NAYSH Y'ALL" while exploring New York City, asking strangers if they're “down with the vape.” He performs exaggerated vape tricks, sneaks into "No Smoking" zones, and delivers tongue-in-cheek commentary that parodies both the vaping subculture and social activism.

The result is a brilliantly absurd and hilarious satire that both mocks and embraces vape culture — and that quickly racked up millions of views.

While the video pokes fun at certain trends, it also shows the sense of freedom and personal expression many people associate with vaping. That’s exactly what we wanted our brand, Vape Nation, to reflect:

  • A little humor
