Taking slow breaths also prevents oil from coming through the mouthpiece and into your mouth. This fix works for any type of vape, whether it’s a reusable battery or disposable. It doesn’t matter if you’re using CBD, THC, or a standard e-cig.

If you have a buttonless vape pen or a disposable e-cig, gently blow into the end of the battery that doesn’t have the mouthpiece. The battery will still activate and warm up the oil to clear the clog without the risk of breathing in oil residue.

Some vapes have a preheat setting if you quickly press the button 2 or 3 times. Preheating works best for THC and CBD vapes that have thick oil.

Avoid putting the paper clip any further than 1⁄2 inch (1. 3 cm) into your cart so you don’t damage the internal components. Wipe the clip on a napkin or paper towel to clean off the oil residue and keep it from spreading around.

Check your vape pen’s battery for any residue as well. Look at the circular center pin where the cartridge screws in, and use your cotton swab to clean off any oil. Just avoid pressing down on the center pin so you don’t damage it.

This is also known as “chain vaping” and usually happens if you’re sharing your vape in social settings.

If you taste an unpleasant flavor when you hit your vape, it’s a sign condensation has built up.

Always use vape carts that are from trusted sellers to ensure you’re getting high-quality oil.

If your vape has a burning smell or taste, then it may be permanently damaged. It’s best to throw it away instead of trying to clean it.

Oil hardens up when it gets cold. When oil gets too hot, it thins out and pulls into the heating chamber to form a clog.
