Why Is My Vape Hot?
It's normal for vapes to get warm when you're using them, but if your vape is too hot to touch, it could be a sign of a problem. Here are some of the most common reasons why your vape might be hot:
- High wattage. The wattage setting on your vape controls how much power is used to heat the coil. If you're using a high wattage setting, it's going to produce more heat, which can make your vape feel hot.
- Coil gunk. Over time, e-liquid can build up on the coil and prevent it from wicking properly. This can cause the coil to overheat, which can make your vape feel hot.
- Airflow. If there's not enough airflow, it can make it harder for the coil to cool down. This can also cause the coil to overheat, which can make your vape feel hot.
- Bad battery. If your battery is old or damaged, it might not be able to provide enough power to the coil. This can cause the coil to overheat, which can make your vape feel hot.
If your vape is too hot, it's important to take steps to cool it down. Here are a few things you can do:
- Reduce the wattage setting. If you're using a high wattage setting, try reducing it to a lower setting. This will help to reduce the amount of heat produced by the coil.
- Clean the coil. If there's e-liquid gunk build-up on the coil, clean it with a cotton swab dipped in rubbing alcohol. This will help to remove the gunk and improve the coil's ability to wick.
- Increase the airflow. If there's not enough airflow, try increasing the airflow setting on your vape. This will help to cool the coil down.
- Replace the battery. If your battery is old or damaged, replace it with a new one. This will ensure that your battery can provide enough power to the coil without causing it to overheat.
If you've tried all of these things and your vape is still too hot, it's best to stop using it and contact the manufacturer for assistance.
