5 Reasons Your Vape Device Is Blinking（Including disposable vape）

If your vape device's light is blinking, don't panic as it's probably not broken. Blinking lights don't always mean your vape pen is damaged. But, depending on the color of the light, it can be a warning sign.

Here are five (5) main reasons why your vape device blinks.

• You locked the fire button. Some devices have a lock feature that prevents accidental firing. If you hit it by mistake, your pen won't fire.
• The tank is too loose or too tight. A tank that is too loose can cause your vape pen to leak, and a tank that is too tight can cause the airflow to be restricted. Double-check the tank to make sure it's on correctly.
• Your device is full of gunk. Vape gunk is the residue that's left behind from vaping. It can clog up your pen and make it difficult to use. Gunk can build up on the connection between the tank and the atomizer. A good cleaning will help.
• You dropped your device and broke an internal component. Please take it to a professional for repairs. However, there are instances when this happens, you may need a new device.
