how to fix a vuse battery that won’t hit

Posted on by

If you have a Vuse e-cigarette or vape pen battery that won’t hit (produce vapor when you draw on it), there are a few troubleshooting steps you can take to potentially fix the issue:

Note: Before attempting any troubleshooting, ensure that the battery is charged and properly connected to the vape cartridge.

Materials You May Need:

  1. Cleaning supplies: Isopropyl alcohol, cotton swabs, and tissues.
  2. Replacement cartridge: In case the problem is with the cartridge itself.

Steps:

  1. Inspect the Battery:
    • Check the battery’s LED indicator (if it has one) to see if it lights up when you inhale. If there’s no LED light or it blinks when you try to use it, this could indicate a battery issue.
    • Ensure that the battery is charged. If the battery is dead, charge it using the provided charger and try again.
  2. Check for Connection Issues:
    • Sometimes, the connection between the battery and the cartridge can become dirty or loose. Remove the cartridge and clean the contact points on both the battery and the cartridge with a cotton swab and isopropyl alcohol.
    • Ensure that the cartridge is properly seated and screwed onto the battery. Make sure it’s not too loose or too tight.
  3. Replace the Cartridge:
    • If the battery still won’t hit after checking the connection and cleaning the contacts, try a different cartridge. It’s possible that the cartridge itself is faulty or empty.
  4. Inspect for Clogs:
    • Check the airflow holes on the cartridge for any clogs or blockages. Use a cotton swab or a small tool to clear any obstructions.
    • Make sure the cartridge’s airflow is not obstructed by a cap or cover that needs to be removed.
  5. Check for Damage:
    • Inspect both the battery and the cartridge for any physical damage, such as bent or broken pins, dents, or cracks. If you find damage, it may be necessary to replace the damaged component.
  6. Reset the Battery:
    • In some cases, resetting the battery can help. To do this, disconnect the cartridge, wait a few seconds, and then reconnect it.
  7. Test on Another Device:
    • If possible, test the cartridge on another compatible device or battery to determine if the issue is with the battery or the cartridge.
  8. Contact Customer Support:
    • If none of the above steps resolves the issue, consider contacting Vuse customer support or the retailer where you purchased the device for further assistance. They may be able to provide additional troubleshooting steps or replace the faulty components.

It’s important to exercise caution when troubleshooting vape devices, and always follow the manufacturer’s instructions and safety guidelines. If you are unsure about any aspect of the troubleshooting process or if the problem persists, it’s advisable to seek professional assistance or contact the manufacturer for guidance.
