If your cartridge isn’t working at all, it may be because the contact (the piece where the cartridge and battery meets to allow the vape pen to work) from the battery and cartridge aren’t connecting properly. This can happen with used batteries that have been removed and replaced on cartridges multiple times.

Scenario #2: My vape pen doesn't work at all.
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.

Bought 2 new vape cartridges and only one of them is working. The other doesn’t work at all for some reason. The one that is working only works sometimes. Can anyone tell me what the problem could be? All my other old cartridges still work so I don’t think it’s my pen. I provided a picture of the pen and cartridge

Inspect the center pin of both the cartridge and the battery. Clean the contacts with cotton buds and if really dirty a very small amount of rubbing alcohol. Both pins where they connect must be free of debris for the atomizer to fire properly, perhaps it is gummed up.

I started having the same issue once I moved up to 80% thc cartridges. In lieu of a stronger battery, another thing to do is preheat the cartridge for a bit before inhaling.

Why is my vape pen not working?

You may have come across a cartridge that simply does not work in your vape battery. It could be a voltage issue, a certain oil viscosity that is not compatible with your pen, or more. The way to confirm this is to test your cartridge on other vape pens, which can be done with extra vape pens you may have access to, or by going to a local vape shop and seeing if they have vape pens you can test. At the end of the day, if you go through 2-3 different types of vape pen batteries, it is likely not a compatibility issue and the oil cartridge is likely dead.

Why does my vape pen shut off after 10 seconds?

Even if you have taken the care to slowly amp up your voltage , holding the power button too long can also damage the electronics in a cartridge. A lot of vape pens will auto-shutoff after 10 consecutive seconds of the power button being pressed, which is meant to prevent this issue. However, if you continually heat the pen by repeatedly pressing the power button, or you have your voltage setting high, that continuous heat can burn out circuits.

What does dry firing mean on a pen?

Dry firing just means you press the power button and heat an oil cartridge when it is empty. This is not a real issue for pre-filled cartridges, as they are well, pre-filled with oil and not empty. But more for refillable cartridges that use a wick to heat and vaporize your choice of oils is at risk of this. Usually, when you power on your pen, that energy goes into the coil and wick, which heats the oil, which produces vapor. However, heating the coil without oil means the wick does not have anything to vaporize and transfer heat to, resulting in permanently burning the wick. Though you can technically use the cartridge still, it will forever have a burnt, nasty taste that essentially ruins it for vaping.

Why is my vape oil not heating?

Over time, as you vape oil from a cartridge, as the vapor travels, oil residue will be displaced in the mouthpiece. As the cartridge cools, and when it is not being heated, that small oil particles along the airway will condense back to oil, which can sometimes clog the pathway, especially in the skinny cartridges as the airway is super thin. The solution is a simple one. Simply allow the pen to heat the cartridge for extra time, and soon you will be able to take draws like normal.

Can you use an oil cartridge on a vape pen?

As we have mentioned, just because you have an oil cartridge that fits on your oil vape pen, it does not always mean that it is perfectly made for your vape pen. Depending on the viscosity (thickness) of your oil, the manufacturer of your cartridge, and other various factors, a vape battery is not always powerful enough to power all oil cartridges. If your pen offers variable voltage functionality, upping the temperature can resolve this issue. If you are using the simply, Stylus Oil Vape Pens, power can be an issue with some cartridges.
