How To Fix Common Vape Issues At Home

That sudden, frustrating gurgle or the disappointing lack of vapor can instantly ruin a moment. Before you consider your device a lost cause, know that many common vape problems have surprisingly simple solutions you can handle at home.

With a little know-how, you can often get your device working perfectly again without a special trip to the store.

The device is leaking or gurgling:

A leaky vape is a messy problem, often from overfilling the tank and flooding the coil. The quick fix is to disassemble the device. Unscrew the tank from the battery. Blow gently through the mouthpiece into a paper towel to clear excess liquid. Wipe all connecting threads before reassembling. To avoid this entirely, consider the leak-proof design of a Geek vape UAE.

No vapor is being produced:

You press the button but get nothing. First, check the most obvious culprit: the battery. Connect your device to its charger to ensure it has power. If the battery is charged, inspect the connection between the tank and the battery. Clean any residue from the contacts with a cotton swab. The problem could also be a worn-out coil that wants replacing.

A burnt taste is present:

A harsh, burnt taste means your coil is not wicking properly. This is typically because the cotton inside is dry and burning. To fix this, ensure your tank has enough liquid. If the flavor persists, the coil itself may be burnt out and involves a change. To extend a new coil’s life, always prime it by applying a few drops of liquid directly onto the cotton before installing it and waiting ten minutes before use.

The button is flashing:

A flashing light is your device’s way of sending an error message. Usually, it indicates a low battery, so place it on the charger. If the battery is charged, the flashing could signal a connection issue. Check that the tank is screwed on correctly and that the coil is properly seated within the tank. A loose connection can interrupt the circuit.

The device is auto-firing:

If your vape activates without you pressing the button, act immediately. This is a serious issue, often caused by e-liquid leaking into the internal components. Quickly turn the device off if possible and remove the tank. Clean the battery’s contact point thoroughly. Do not use the device again until it is completely clean and dry to avoid safety hazards.
