There’s a whole lot to love about THC disposables and cartridges, that’s for sure! This category of THC products has been booming recently, and with good reason. Vaping THC, either through a disposable or a cartridge, is a method with a very speedy kick-in time. But, there are a few major drawbacks to using THC disposables and cartridges. We’re hoping to solve some of those right now.
Some of the main issues that occur with THC vape options like disposables and cartridges, are leaking and clogging. In this blog, we’re going to go over some of the basics for how to avoid THC disposables / cartridges clogging up, as well as how to avoid them leaking. Let’s dive in!
Clogging Tips
Clogging is a common issue with THC disposable vape pens and cartridges, and it can impact the overall performance of your device. Here are some tips to help prevent and address clogging issues:
Before taking a hit, try warming up the vape pen by taking a few short puffs without inhaling. This helps to liquefy any thickened oil and can reduce the chances of clogging.
Alternatively, if your device has a pre-heat function, this is the perfect time to use it!
Store your disposable vape pen in an upright position. Storing it upside down or on its side can lead to the oil settling in the mouthpiece and causing clogs.
Overheating the vape pen can cause the oil to become too thin and lead to leakage and clogging. Take breaks between hits to allow the device to cool down.
Ensure that the airflow vents are not blocked. Blocked airflow can cause pressure imbalances, leading to clogs.
Clean the airway with a thin tool or a gentle puff of air to remove any blockages.
If you notice clogs in the mouthpiece, clean it gently with a cotton swab or a small, soft brush.
Be careful not to push any debris further into the pen, as this can worsen the clogging.
Drawing too hard or too frequently can lead to the coil getting flooded and, in turn, cause clogs. Take slow and steady draws to avoid this issue.
Check for Damaged or Worn Components:
Keep your vape pen in a stable environment, avoiding extreme temperatures. Extreme heat or cold can impact the viscosity of the oil and lead to clogging.
But, clogging isn’t the only issue THC disposables and cartridges are prone to- leaking can happen as well.
Leaking Tips
Leaking from THC disposable cartridges or vape pens can be an annoying issue, but there are several steps you can take to prevent or address it.
Store your THC cartridge or disposable vape pen in an upright position when not in use. This helps prevent the oil from pooling in the mouthpiece or airflow holes, reducing the risk of leaks.
Inspect the cartridge or disposable pen for any damaged or missing seals. Damaged seals can lead to leaks. If you find any issues, consider replacing the cartridge.
Ensure the connection between the cartridge and the battery is clean and free from any residue. Wipe it with a cotton swab or a clean cloth regularly.
Extreme temperatures can impact the viscosity of the oil and contribute to leaks. Store your THC products in a cool, stable environment, away from direct sunlight.
Avoid taking overly forceful puffs, as this can lead to the flooding of the coil and result in leaks. Take slow and steady draws.
Ensure that the battery you’re using is compatible with the cartridge. Using an incompatible or overly powerful battery can lead to overheating and leaks.
We hope these insights help you enjoy your THC vape products more than ever before! Clogging and leaking are definitely annoying, but there are ways to avoid them. These are the best ones we’ve found.
