We put forward a novel method for generating ultrarelativistic vortex positrons and electrons with intrinsic orbital angular momenta (OAM) through nonlinear Breit-Wheeler (NBW) scattering of vortex γ photons. A complete angular momentum-resolved scattering theory has been formulated, introducing angular momenta of laser photons and vortex particles into the conventional NBW scattering framework. We find that vortex positron (electron) can be produced when the outgoing electron (positron) is generated along the collision axis. By unveiling the angular momentum transfer mechanism, we clarify that the OAM of the γ photon and the large angular momenta due to multiple laser photons are entirely transferred to the generated vortex leptons. Furthermore, the cone opening angle and superposition state of the vortex γ photon can be determined via the angular distribution of created pairs in NBW processes.
