There’s nothing more frustrating than reaching for your vape, only to be met with a burnt taste, a leaking pod, or a device that is simply not working the way it should. Most of these issues are completely common and easily fixable with a few adjustments to the ways you maintain and use your vape. Let’s explore these common issues and what you can do to prevent and fix them.

Leaking/Spitback

Leaking and spitback are very messy, annoying issues that vapers will likely encounter at least once in their life. Both of these issues are caused by oversaturation, meaning there is more juice being pulled into the coil than the cotton is able to hold and effectively burn off. Some of the factors that may cause coil oversaturation include:

Bonus Tip: If you are still struggling with leaking and spitback, it is possible your pod or coil may be defective. Try a new coil and see if the issues persist. If you’re looking for the right tank, consider using a top fill talk to reduce the messy leaking!

Burnt Coils

Nothing’s worse than expecting a tasty vape puff only to inhale a gross burnt cotton and metal tank. Unfortunately, there are no proper ways to fix a coil once it’s burnt, but we can explore how we can avoid premature burning.

Auto Firing

This issue is typical among vapes that have a draw-to-fire feature that allows users to fire their vape just by inhaling. These vapes use an air sensor which activates the coil when a vaper takes a puff. There are two main reasons why this can occur including:

Not Firing

Another issue that vapers face is misfiring or no vapor production. Here are some of the common causes of misfiring and what you can do to solve it.

Key Takeaways/Final Thoughts

We hope this guide helps if you ever face any of these common issues. If you’re short on time here are the key takeaways we’ve discussed in this article.

• The most common issues vapers face include: leaking and spitback, burnt coils, auto-firing, and misfiring;

• Leaking and/or spitback can be caused by pressure and temperature changes, long periods of time between puffs, low wattage setting, plugged airflow and incompatible juice;

• This can be avoided by changing your coil, practicing consistent vaping habits, and regularly maintaining your vape;

• Coils burning prematurely is typically caused by dry hits/empty tank, juices with high amounts of sweetener, wattage setting is too high, chain vaping, and over charging;

• To avoid this, keep your tank topped up, properly prime your coils, avoid sweeter juices and chain vaping, and practice proper charging habits;

• In draw-to-fire vapes, autofiring is mainly caused by juice or debris triggering the sensor, internal damage, or a malfunctioning chipset. Make sure you keep the airflow free from condensation and debris;

• Misfiring can be caused by the coil not being read properly, chips or battery malfunctions, or battery charges being too low to meet the set power output; try using a new coil or replacing your device.
