Common Disposable Issues and How to Fix them

Autofiring

Autofiring seems to be quite a common issue with disposable vapes. The reasoning for this could be that the battery is set at a lower voltage than 4 volts. This means that the device does not put out enough power to heat up fast enough.

How to fix it?

To stop your device from autofiring, block the airflow at the bottom. If this does not help, then block both the airflow and the mouthpiece and it will stop autofiring. This issue may persist for a good amount of time, but just keep blocking it after each drag. Alternatively, you can put the device on charge (if it is rechargeable and not autofiring). After a fair amount of usage, the device will generally stop autofiring.

A weak drag

A device not dragging or dragging weakly could be because the seals were not removed (note: there are generally seals covering the airflow and the mouthpiece). Alternatively, the device just needs to be put on charge (if it is rechargeable). If the device is not rechargeable, you can pop it open and give the little battery on the inside a bit of a charge. Please do not do this if you are inexperienced, as it can be dangerous. If the device does not charge, then it could be a faulty device.

Leaking

Generally leaking happens when a device has been left in a hot area for too long or due to over-usage. When liquid heats up, it expands. If you chain-vape, you are heating the coil excessively and this may cause leaking. The recommended drag time is 1 second and then letting it rest for 30 seconds before the next drag.

Flashing LED

The LED light in a disposable flashes rapidly when the battery is flat or if there is some other fault with the device. If the device is rechargeable, then just pop the device on charge.

 

 

Getting a faulty device is not a common thing, but it does happen. Disposables are mass-manufactured and due to this, there are bound to be some issues with disposables. Remember, not all machines are perfect
