Tip: Experienced vapers suggest testing the different components of your vape to narrow down what’s causing the blinking. Separate your vape tank from the battery and then hit the button again—if your pen still blinks, a battery issue is a likely culprit. If it doesn’t blink, there might be a connection plate issue or a problem with the vape coil.
Check your vape’s user manual to see what the exact cut-off time is.
Tip: If your device is wet, try blowing a steady stream of air through the vape while covering the lower air vents with a paper towel—this is a great way to force most of the water out. Then, stick your wet vape in a sealed baggie filled with dry rice or silica gel packets for at least a day and see if that helps. Check your vape’s user manual for specific guidance on how to troubleshoot a short-circuiting device.
At this point, reassemble your vape—just be sure not to twist the components together too tightly, or else your device might not work properly. Tip: If the connection plate is pressed too far down into your vape battery, your device might malfunction. This strategy works especially well with vapes that have 510 thread batteries, like O2VAPE, Ooze, and Yocan.
Tip: Don’t make too many adjustments to this connection plate, or else you might hurt the cartridge. This troubleshooting tip is particularly helpful for vapes with 510 thread batteries.
Tip: Make sure that you’re using a high-quality cartridge or a cartridge that’s designed for your vape; otherwise, oil might leak onto the battery. Be sure to try this tip if your device has a 510 thread battery (like an Ooze, Yocan, or O2VAPE).
Tip: If you don’t have a hair dryer handy, grab a really thin item like a safety pin or toothpick and gently stick it into the opening along the top of your cartridge.

If you have a disposable vape, get a new vape rather than replacing the coil.
Always consult your vape’s user manual before you start cleaning your device. Never soak your vape battery in water or any sort of cleaner. If your vape has a tank, take time to drain it, clean it out, and soak it in a mixture of rubbing alcohol and water.
