How to Fix a Rechargeable Vape That’s Not Charging
Rechargeable vapes are convenient and cost-effective, but they can occasionally run into charging problems. This guide walks you through common issues and practical solutions to fix your rechargeable vape when it’s not charging.
Charging Problems
Try a Compatible Charger
Your vape may not charge if you are using the wrong type of charger. Make sure you use the charger provided by the manufacturer or one that meets the vape’s specifications.
Replace a Faulty Cable
A damaged or faulty charging cable can disrupt the charging process. Inspect the cable for visible signs of wear, such as fraying or bent connectors. Replace it with a high-quality, compatible cable.
Recharge the Battery
Sometimes, the battery may be completely drained and needs a few minutes of connection before it starts charging. Leave the vape plugged in for a while to see if the battery responds.
Connection Issues
Check for Loose or Dirty Connections
Dust, debris, or residue on the charging port or cable connectors can interfere with the charging process. Use a clean, dry cloth or a small brush to gently clean the contacts. Connect your charging cable firmly to both the vape and power source.
Blocked Airflow
How to Unblock Your Vape
Blocked airflow can prevent your vape from functioning properly, even if it’s charging. Check for any obstructions in the airflow holes or mouthpiece and clean them gently using a thin, non-metal tool. Keeping the airflow clear ensures optimal performance.
Faulty or Defective Device
Replace or Return the Vape
If none of the above solutions work, your vape may have an internal fault. Check your warranty details and consider contacting the manufacturer or retailer for a replacement or repair. Avoid attempting internal repairs yourself, as this could void the warranty.
Safety Features Activated
Reset Your Vape
Smart rechargeable vapes often have built-in safety features to protect against overcharging or overheating. If the device stops charging suddenly, try resetting it by turning it off and on. Refer to the user manual for specific reset instructions.
Temperature Issues
Adjust the Heating Modess
Extreme temperatures can affect your rechargeable vape’s charging capabilities.
Some smart disposable vapes have adjustable heating modes, like the HIFANCY LUXURY BOX 18000 which has four.
If your vape has this advanced setting, please set the heating modes to an optimal level and avoid exposing the vape to extremely high or low temperatures, as this can damage the battery.
