If the device still produces normal vapour but tastes of almost nothing, the problem is usually your nose rather than the liquid. The effect is called olfactory adaptation, better known as vaper's tongue, and it is your olfactory system doing exactly what it evolved to do. Why it happens Most of what we experience as taste is actually smell. The olfactory system is built to notice changes in scent, not constant background levels, so it deliberately tunes out anything it has been exposed to cont …

Gurgling means liquid has pooled in the airway instead of being vaporised. It is not usually a fault, and it clears in about thirty seconds. Left alone it turns into spitback — hot droplets thrown up the mouthpiece — which is worth avoiding. Clearing it Turn the device so the mouthpiece points down. Loosely cover the airflow intake with a fingertip. Draw two or three times without the device firing, so air pushes the pooled liquid out. Wipe the mouthpiece with a dry tissue. If liq …

A vape that fires without being drawn on has a stuck sensor, and it is the one fault worth treating with urgency. Every other problem on this blog is an inconvenience. This one means a coil is heating unattended, often inside a pocket where there is nothing to carry the heat away. Deal with it first, diagnose it after. What to do right now Take it out of your pocket or bag. Put it somewhere open and non-flammable — a hard countertop, not a sofa, a bed or a pile of paper. Do not put it o …

Most leaks are physics rather than a faulty device. Heat thins e-liquid and expands the air inside the tank; that expanding air has to go somewhere, and it pushes liquid out through the airflow holes. Orientation makes it worse. A device carried mouthpiece-down in a warm pocket is close to a worst case. What actually causes it Heat. A hot car, direct sun, or a tight trouser pocket against your leg. Warm e-liquid is thinner and flows where it should not. Pressure change. Altitude is the obvious …

If there is no light and no vapour, the problem is almost always airflow rather than battery. Something is blocking the path the air takes through the device, so the draw sensor never triggers. That is good news: airflow problems are usually fixable in under a minute, and the fix costs nothing. Work through these in order — they are ranked by how often each one is the answer. 1. Check the airflow intake for a sticker Manufacturers frequently ship devices with a small sticker or silicone …

A burnt taste means the coil is firing on a wick that has run dry. Instead of vaporising e-liquid it is scorching the cotton around the coil, and that flavour is unmistakable — acrid, dry, slightly peppery. The device is not broken; it is out of liquid at the point where it matters. Four things cause it, and they need different responses. 1. Chain-vaping The wick refills by capillary action, which takes time. Puff faster than it can resupply and you hit dry cotton even with a tank half f …

A blinking disposable vape is the device shutting itself off on purpose. In almost every case it is one of four things: the battery is flat, you held the draw past the built-in cut-off timer, moisture has bridged the charge port or mouthpiece, or the e-liquid has run out while the coil is still trying to heat. The blink is a protection circuit doing its job, not the device failing at random. Below is how to tell those four apart in about a minute, and what is actually worth trying. 1. The batt …
