Alot of B series motors will smoke at higher RPM's
Burning a little bit of oil.
How many miles are on the motor?

Sounds like valve seals. Bump for an answer.

Most likely valve seals but then again, what B series VTEC motor have you seen that DOESN'T blow smoke in VTEC? lol

Are we talkin' about a massive blue cloud or just some smoke?

my b18 smokes a little bit when I'm in around 5000 rpm after VTEC but I guess what he's asking is what's causing it. Because no engine should smoke

Generally if it smokes on Throttle then its the oil control rings. If its smokes off throttle and on start up, its valve seals.
