EDIT: oh, I realized I have a question for you, too - so, I bought this like disposable USB-chargeable vape pen, and it has a lot of juice left, but I’ve noticed when I suck to get it started, it just won’t “hit” or heat up … it’s like there is oil clogging something that is necessary to get it started?
Sometimes I have to suck really hard for minutes to get it going (there is no button as far as I can tell to get it started).
Any suggestions on how to get it to work more reliably? Am I supposed to be cleaning or maintenance-ing this pen in a way I don’t know about?
Thanks!
Cheap vapes need to heat up. This is preferable to overdrawing current and starting a fire.
any idea on how to get it to heat up when it only starts to heat based on suction? I can’t suck hard enough to get it going, it seems.
No. You gotta suck. If there’s a button you can use that.
there is no button :-(
any tips on how to get it started?
maybe there is some kind of device that can suck for me, or would be able provide more pressure?
or maybe ways to heat the oil?
Maybe I could like microwave dry rice or something and then stick the pen in the rice to pre-heat the pen?
If it takes more than 10 seconds to heat up it’s broken.
it’s not about timing, when I try to suck it’s clogged and it can’t initiate heating at all - it’s not like it’s slow to heat, it just doesn’t know to heat. So I have to suck really, really hard (to the point that it hurts), and suck for minutes before it finally clears enough that it can initiate heating (and then it works fine).
Then it’s broken
hm, weird - I think it’s just clogged, not broken - I’m able to suck hard enough to get it to eventually clear and heat up, and then it works fine
I wouldn’t call that broken as much as clogged - so I’m wondering how to clear the clog in more efficient / better ways, but it sounds like you’re out of ideas?
I dunno
