Troubleshooting your Vape: Summer Edition

Troubleshooting your Vape: Summer Edition

We can all agree that vape pens are the perfect stoner sidekick! They're super discreet, you can take a quick puff practically anywhere, and you never experience the horror of arriving at your destination and rolling up a doobie, to discovering no one brought a lighter! The downside is that this gorgeous summer heat can sometimes cause minor malfunctions in vape pens, like leaks, weak hits, and overheating. Here are some summer tips to keep your penjamin working smoothly on the hottest days.

Never leave your vape in a hot car

Hot vehicles and vape pens don't mix! Leaving your vape in a scorching car or in the blazing sun exposes it to excessive summer heat. When it gets too hot, the oil in your cartridge becomes less viscous and more fluid, which can turn your vape pen into a leaky mess!

To avoid disaster, always store your vape in a cool, shaded spot and out of direct sunlight. Storing it upright can also help minimize leakage and prevent a sticky situation on days when you can't dodge the sun.

Avoid sudden temperature changes

If your vape overheats, let it return to room temperature naturally. Never put it in an overly cold place like the fridge! When the temp gets too hot, and the cartridge starts to liquefy, sudden cooling will cause the oils to solidify unevenly, which leads to clogging and weak hits from your device. 

If your vape has been exposed to excessive cooling or spent a little too much time near the AC, try warming it up gently by rubbing the cartridge between your hands. A gentle shake can also help redistribute the oil and improve performance. Remember to keep it cool (but not too cool) to avoid clogging.

Keep the sun off your stash

Leaving your vape in the sun can warp and melt the actual hardware of the device and compromise its functions! You can avoid heat damage by stashing it in a case that shields it from direct sun. For extra protection, consider using a heat-resistant vape case with additional padding and insulation. A good case can prevent overheating electronics and keep your vape at a stable temperature, so you’re always ready to sesh.

NEED A NEW VAPE?

Stay fully charged

Extreme temperatures have the potential to cause a lot of problems with your vape battery. It can drain faster and even fail! To prevent sudden battery drain, make sure your device is fully charged and the cartridge is securely connected before heading out on any adventure.

If your battery starts to drain unexpectedly, it could be due to overheating! Find a cool, shaded spot to recharge it. If it feels hot to the touch, always give it time to cool down before charging!
