Troubleshooting: Why your e-cigarette isn't working properly

introduce

Let's say you notice that your vaping device's wick is clogged, or its battery isn't working properly. If you experience these problems, don't immediately discard your device and run to the store to buy a new one. Sometimes, the key is to fix the problem.

In this valuable discussion, we'll discuss the most common technical issues with e-cigarettes and how to troubleshoot them in the most efficient way. You'll also learn about devices that won't stress you out when using them - like our Artisan, Essential and Infinity 2 devices - that are known for their best-in-class design and performance. Let's get started.

Why doesn't my e-cigarette work?

That's a good question. First, there are some common issues that can prevent your device from functioning properly, including:

Faulty or dead batteries : Batteries are the source of energy for your vaping device, just like fuel is the source of energy for your car.

Low e-liquid : Check if the e-liquid tank is empty.

Connection Issues : Usually, these issues are caused by the atomizer and battery not being connected properly.

Is your e-cigarette not igniting? In addition to the common problems mentioned above, there are other reasons why this may happen, such as:

Coil defect : The coil is an important part of the electronic cigarette device. If the coil is defective or burned out, the electronic cigarette will not ignite properly.

Improper Assembly : If you are unsure how to properly assemble your device, you can ask someone more knowledgeable for help.

• Incomplete charging: E-cigarettes, like mobile phones, cannot be used properly if they are not fully charged.

Troubleshooting: How to fix e-cigarette technical problems

Battery Issues

Sometimes the culprit is the battery. Here’s how to fix this problem:

• Check to see if the battery is dead. That is, the battery does not have enough power to operate the vaping device. The next step is to charge the battery.
• Sometimes you'll notice some dirt on the connection that connects the battery to the tank. Don't let the dirt stop your e-cigarette from working properly. Remove the battery for a while and use a cotton wheel to clean the connection and the top of the battery. Once you're done, reinsert the battery and see if your e-cigarette is back to normal.
• If the problem is charging, recharge it and wait until it is fully charged before vaping. Also, do not try to overcharge it.
• Or, you may need to buy a new battery.

E-liquid blockage

The most common sign is a disruption in the flow of e-liquid, known as a dry burn. This is usually caused by a clogged wick or reservoir. Just like a clogged drain requires a plumber, you need the right solution, but you don’t need someone else because you can fix e-liquid clogs yourself.

First, gently inhale or exhale through the nozzle of the device. This will melt the oil that may be causing the clog. Then, take a hair dryer and use it to heat the clogged oil for half a minute. By this time, your cart will be more resistant to clogging. Use a cotton swab dipped in rubbing alcohol to remove the oil around the air holes of the cart.

Sometimes, you won’t notice any signs of blockage, but your vaping device still isn’t functioning properly. Check that you’re using the right e-liquid and that it’s compatible with your device.

Coil Problem

The coil and atomizer of your e-cigarette are the wizard who performs the magic that turns your flavorful e-liquid into the smoke you crave. But if the wizard is sick, the magic won’t happen.

Could it be that the coil is worn or loose? A loose coil is like a loose guitar string. A loose string means bad music. A loose coil means bad smoke.

So make sure the coil is installed correctly, tightened, and secured in place. You must also check that the electrical connections and resistance are correct. You don't want to have a mismatched coil.

In addition, if you replace a brand new coil, you must pre-treat it first. The correct pre-treat is to drip a small amount of e-liquid on the cotton window of each coil and let it sit for about 10 minutes before using the e-cigarette.

Overheating Problem

Just like an overheated car, an overheated vaping device is one of the last things you want to happen to you. Of course, if the device is left in hot water, it can also overheat. If you use a device for mouth-to-mouth technique where you inhale directly into your lungs, it can also overheat.

To prevent the device from overheating, regular cleaning and checking of the battery is one of the most recent troubleshooting steps. You will also need to invest in high-quality coils, batteries, and other components.

Device Setup

The settings on your vaping device are the angels that protect you from unsafe vaping and ensure you get the satisfaction you deserve. However, if these settings are not correct (such as the temperature or wattage being adjusted incorrectly), the performance of the device will be impaired.

Even if you’ve been vaping for a long time, you’re probably better off referring to the manual again. And some devices, like our Infinity 2, allow you to set specific modes based on the experience you want.

Improper assembly after cleaning

Just like a cluttered house can turn off visitors, not cleaning your vaping device regularly can lead to bad tastes and vapors, poor performance, and damage to the device. Properly reassembling your device after cleaning can prevent connection issues and a tendency to malfunction. This leads to the next section.

How to maintain optimal e-cigarette performance

Follow these basic tips to keep your vaping device running at peak performance.

E-liquid : When not in use, keep it sealed in a locked storage area at an appropriate temperature and out of direct sunlight. You should also keep it in the original bottle, otherwise the taste will be wrong.

Water tank : Check the tightness and clean the airway. When not in use, keep it upright and turn off the airflow to prevent dust from entering.

Batteries : Found your battery packaging damaged? Buy a replacement pack, otherwise, you'll need to buy new batteries to avoid any surprises. Then, practice proper charging.

E-cigarette equipment : For the entire device, clean the connections and clean it regularly. These will keep it in top condition.
