Where is the liquid in a vape?

There is vape liquid in the chimney. The chimney of your e-cigarette is the hollow tube in the middle of your tank. If liquid gets into this area, it can cause some minor (but annoying) problems like spitting, popping, and leaking. The easiest way to prevent your eLiquid from getting into the chimney is to make sure you don't overfill the tank.

What happens if you overfill a vape tank?

If you overfill, the liquid will seep into other areas of the tank and seep out. You shouldn't fill your tank all the way up, either. Your vape needs that gap of air to create pressure in the tank, giving you a better vaping experience. Check out the manufacturer's recommendations for how much to fill the tank and stick to it.

How to keep eliquid from getting into chimney?

The easiest way to prevent your eLiquid from getting into the chimney is to make sure you don't overfill the tank. You should also take care in how you fill the tank. Take your Max VG liquid and tilt the tank, squeezing the e-juice down the side then slowly tilting it back up.

What are vape o-rings made of?

Most vapes have o-rings made from a rubber material. The rubber can get brittle and dry with age. If you've had your vape for a while, it's worth checking on the quality of the o-rings if you are suddenly experiencing leaks. The o-rings should be firm but pliable.

How strong are e-cigarette tanks?

E-cigarette tanks are pretty strong, but they aren't invincible. They are mostly made of glass, which means there is always a chance they could get broken or cracked. Most vapers use their e-cigarettes all day long, meaning the device journeys from car to the office and back home again. They might get shoved in a pocket or tossed on a desk. So it's no wonder that damage happens to the tank occasionally. If you start to experience leaks, hold your vape up to a light and examine the tank closely. The light will make it easier to see hairline cracks or chips in the edges that could be causing the leaks. If you see any signs of damage, order a replacement tank right away (and consider investing in a carrying case for your vape!).

Why is VG liquid thicker than other liquids?

Because of the thicker consistency, they are less likely to leak than liquids made from other bases.

Why do I have to twist my e-cigarette?

That's because overtightening can cause damage to the o-rings, or rubber rings, that create the seal. If you damage those, it's very easy for liquid to come out. So give your e-cigarette a tight twist to ensure it's closed, but don't twist it as hard as you possibly can.

hey guys, left the shop in a hurry so didn't bother to hit it and test it out. First I had the "low ohms" then trying to fix it I ended up power locking it. Anybody know how to fix this? Clicking the reset button hasn't done anything, also powered it on and off, resetting both while it's on and off. Still not fixed.

just bought this but left the shop without hitting it. I click to hit it but get "power locked" on the screen. I tried the reset pin on the bottom but didn't do anything. I'm assuming this is a child lock that I accidentally activated. Anybody with a Smok vape (assuming they use the same software) or a Q Box that knows how to unlock it?
