Why Avoiding Vape Mistakes Matters

Even simple mistakes can lead to:

  • Burnt or unpleasant taste
  • Leaks or device malfunctions
  • Shortened device lifespan
  • Frustration for new vapers

💡 Pro Tip: Learning the basics early saves money and ensures a smoother, more enjoyable vaping experience.


🛠 Common Vape Mistakes & How to Fix Them

1️⃣ Using the Wrong Nicotine Strength

Choosing too high or too low a nicotine level can make your vape harsh or unsatisfying.

How to fix it:

  • Heavy smokers → start with higher nicotine
  • Light smokers → start lower and adjust gradually

2️⃣ Not Priming Your Coil

Skipping coil priming can burn the coil and ruin flavor.

How to fix it:

  • Apply a few drops of e-liquid directly to the coil
  • Let it soak 5–10 minutes before vaping

💡 Tip: Priming is quick but essential for smooth hits.


3️⃣ Overfilling or Underfilling Your Tank

Incorrect e-liquid levels can cause leaks or dry hits.

How to fix it:

  • Fill only to the marked line
  • Don’t let the tank run completely dry

4️⃣ Chain Vaping Too Quickly

Vaping continuously without pauses can overheat the coil.

How to fix it:

  • Wait 30–60 seconds between puffs
  • Allow your device to cool for longer-lasting performance

5️⃣ Neglecting Device Maintenance

Dirty or worn-out parts reduce flavor and device lifespan.

How to fix it:

  • Clean your tank regularly
  • Replace coils/pods every 1–2 weeks
  • Keep your device charged and stored safely
