Troubleshooting Your Vape
Vape Tasting Burnt?
Are you using the correct type of e-liquid?If you have a sub ohm vape (coil is less than 1 ohm),
You should be using min 60% VG e-liquid.
If you use e-liquids that are high PG,
Which are typically 70% PG, they are the wrong liquid and will cause a burnt taste (and be REALLY harsh).
Have you ever run your coil dry?
Always make sure there is liquid in your vape – once you run your coil or pod dry it is like a piece of burnt toast – you can’t really unburn it.
How old is your coil?
Coils (and pods) typically last 1 – 4 weeks, depending on how much you use it etc. The cotton in coils get clogged up (like an air filter), so need replacing.
When Should I Change My Coil?
When it tastes burnt or yucky.
When your tank/coil starts leaking.
When it is spitting.
When the tank is getting hot.
When you don’t get much vape or cloud anymore.
Is Your Vape Feeling Harsh?
Are you using the correct type of e-liquid? If you have a sub ohm vape (coil is less than 1 ohm) you should be using min 60% VG e-liquid.
If you use e-liquids that are high PG,
Which are typically 70% PG, they are the wrong liquid and will be very harsh on the throat. When you use a sub-ohm vape the full strength is 6mg (because you are getting like 3x more cloud, so is equivalent to 12mg – 18mg of PG liquid).
Higher nicotine levels are also harsher!
Try dropping down a level.
NEVER use Nic Salts in Sub-ohm devices
My Vape is Spitting! Why?
How old is your coil? Coils typically last 4 – 10 days. Old coils get clogged up so the liquid hits the heating element and shoots hot liquid up.
Are you running your vape at the correct wattage? Coils have a recommended wattage to run at. Most are written on the coils now, or are on the box. Run them at the recommended wattage give or take 10%. Too low and the coil floods and can spit.
Are you using the correct type of e-liquid? If you have a sub ohm vape (coil is less than 1 ohm) you should be using min 60% VG e-liquid. If you use e-liquids that are high PG, like from the dairy, which are typically 70% PG, they are the wrong liquid and are too watery and can cause spitting.
Is Your Vape Leaking?
How old is the coil?
Old coils get clogged up so the liquid goes straight through and causes leaking (typically through bottom air vents)
Are you using the correct type of e-liquid?
If you use e-liquids that are high PG, like from the dairy, which are typically 70% PG, they are too watery and can leak through tank seals.
Have you been using your vape regularly?
If you haven’t used your vape for a few days (or weeks or months!), the coil gets over saturated so liquid ends up leaking through.
Is the coil screwed in properly?
This can be a big cause for leaking so double check!
Does your tank/coil have all of the correct O-Rings?
Nicotine does eat through o-rings – try replacing the o-rings on your tank (you should have spares in your box).
Why Is My Vape Not Charging?
Have you tried a different cable?
A different USB charger?
Have you been using the correct - plug and cable amp for your vape?
How old are your batteries?
If you have external batteries, have you been using an external charger or just the USB cable? If your battery/batteries are more than 6 months old they may need to be replaced.
