How to Fix Common E-Cig Issues？Maintenance plays a big role in the performance of your electronic cigarette batteries and cartridges. You may find that a favorite battery or blank cartridge isn’t giving you the same satisfaction it once did. When this happens, there are a few things to try before throwing in the towel and replacing it.
Batteries
If you find that a fully charged battery doesn’t seem to be powering your ecig properly, it may need to be cleaned. The threading of the battery is the set of grooves along the edge that attaches to the cartridge. Try using a simple toothbrush to give these a good cleaning (but of course refrain from using the same toothbrush orally). If there was any debris or buildup on the threading, the battery likely wasn’t making good contact with the cartridge, resulting in lower vapor production.
You may also try resetting the battery. There are two ways of doing this: one for manual and one for automatic.
For manual batteries, remove the cartridge from the battery and hold the power button down for roughly ten seconds. This will cause the LED light on the tip of the battery to glow steadily for a few moments, then it will blink several times before dimming out altogether. Once you have done this, reattach the battery to the charger and allow it to go through a full charging cycle. This should resolve any issues you were having with the battery previously.
For automatic batteries, first, remove the cartridge from the battery. Make sure the threading on the battery is clean and simply blow into the center of the threading several times. This will cause the LED light on the tip of the battery to blink, confirming that the battery has been reset. Reattach the battery to the charger and allow it to go through a full charging cycle.
Cartridges
If you are getting a burnt taste or diminished vapor from your ecig cartridge, the first thing to check is the level of eliquid remaining. For a reusable blank cartridge, simply add more eliquid to the cartridge. Be sure to do this sooner than later since vaping a cartridge with low eliquid can permanently degrade the wick; a damaged wish renders the cartridge unusable and must be replaced.
For a cartridge that is not low on eliquid but is still producing diminished vapor, check to be sure that no eliquid has dripped into the center post. The hollow post located in the center of your cartridge allows air to flow through and is vital for maximum vapor production. To unclog the center post, take a pin or toothpick and remove any buildup inside the post. This should restore the performance of your cartridge.
