How to Fix Common Vape Problems: Leaking, Spitting, and No Power

Vaping is a great alternative to smoking, but like any electronic device, things can sometimes go wrong. Whether you are facing leaking pods, spitback, or a device that won’t charge, most issues have simple fixes. Here is your complete guide to troubleshooting common vape problems in Dubai.

1. Leaking Pods or Tanks

Leaking is one of the most annoying issues vapers face. It can be caused by several factors:

• Temperature Changes: In Dubai’s heat, e-liquid can thin out and leak. Don’t leave your vape in a hot car.
• Overfilling: Leave a small air bubble at the top when filling your tank.
• Coil Issues: Ensure your coil is screwed in tightly and properly seated.

2. Spitback (Hot Liquid in Mouth)

Spitback occurs when the coil gets flooded with too much e-liquid, and instead of vaporizing, it boils and pops into your mouth.

How to fix it:

• Flick the device downwards (wrapped in a tissue) to clear excess liquid from the chimney.
• Increase your wattage slightly if you are using a variable wattage device.
• Don’t inhale too hard; take smooth, gentle draws.

3. Device Not Firing or No Power

If your device isn’t hitting, check the following:

• Battery: Is it charged? Try a different cable or power source.
• Connection: Clean the contact points between the pod/tank and the battery with a cotton swab.
• Safety Lock: Many devices have a “5-click” on/off safety feature. Try clicking the fire button 5 times quickly.

4. Burnt Taste

A burnt taste usually means the coil is dry or burnt out. This is often called a “dry hit”.

Solution:

• Prime your coils: When installing a new coil, let it sit in the liquid for 5-10 minutes before vaping.
• Check liquid levels: Don’t let your tank run dry. Refill before it’s empty.
• Replace the coil: If the burnt taste persists, the cotton inside is likely damaged and needs replacing.
