Sitali Pranayam has the tongue curled and extended beyond the "O" shaped lips -- it is the "cooling breath." Cannon Breath keeps the tongue relaxed in the mouth with the lips still in the "O" shape. There is also a Cannon Fire exhale, which is one massive exhale through the round mouth. Sat Nam...

Everything's clear now!

In this the tong is rounded off and is taken outside the mouth and air/breathing is taken through the tong and exhaled through nostril. This is mainly done in heavy heat environment or heavy heat in body.

Same speed as BOF, mouth in O shape, but not too puckered (i.e. no whistling), don't bulge the cheeks.

I've heard it described as 'breath of fire through the firm packed/o-shaped mouth' and that it has a cooling effect instead of heating. Does someone know more about this and how to do it correctly? Does it have to be done slower or at the same speed as BOF? I can't seem to find a lot of info on the internet. Thanks!
