how to fix a vape pen that won't work

by Prof. Ofelia Stracke I Published 3 years ago Updated 2 years ago

Fortunately, it’s possible to fix that problem with a little ingenuity – and a pair of tweezers. This solution may not work with all disposable vapes, but it will work with many vape pens using the rectangular “puff bar” design that has become so common recently. Using a pair of tweezers, pry the mouthpiece off of your disposable vape.

Inspect the battery contact; it may be clogged or coated. If this occurs, wipe the contact portion with a Q-tip soaked in rubbing alcohol, let the terminal dry, reconnect your cartridge to the battery and try it again. Do NOT overtighten your cartridge. Make sure your battery is turned on and fully charged.Jan 30, 2020
