If you are facing charging issues with your vape device, one of the fixes to try is to use an external charger. You need to take out the battery (if it is removable) and then place it in an external charger. Check if the battery is now charging. If it is still not charging, then the problem is with the battery. You need to replace the battery.

You can try changing the charging cable and see if it works. If it still does not work, then there is a problem with your device. You may need to change the vape device.

It is important to know how to charge the vape device. It is possible that you may not be charging the device properly. To charge the vape device battery, you need to connect the USB charger to a computer. Connecting to a mobile charger could cause problems. This is because mobile chargers can offer high-speed charging.

 

Such high-speed charging can heat the battery. This can shorten its life. You have two options to charge the vape. One is to connect to a computer’s USB. The other is to take out the battery and use an external charger.

Cleaning the vape device is essential if you want it to work well. A key reason many vape devices fail is that it is not cleaned properly. Dust and lint can get into the vape and affect its working. The charging port of the vape may be clogged by dirt. This would make it malfunction and could be the reason the vape is not charging.

 

You can use a toothpick to remove lint or dirt from the charging port or the cable of your vape device. If there is residual oil in the threading, you can use a few drops of rubbing alcohol on cotton and use it to clean. Proper cleaning should ensure your vape device works well again. To extend the life of your vaping device, clean it regularly. Don’t use water to clean the device. Never try to clean the charging port if it is wet.
