Why Is My Vape Auto-Firing? Why it Happens & How to Fix It
Auto-firing is a term to describe the action when your vape kit starts to automatically vapourise the e-liquid that’s inside your vape tank/ pod. This is a massively celebrated hardware feature that allows people to simply draw on their vape kit mouthpiece and then start puffing away. Most pre-filled disposable vapes, vape starter kits, vape pen style pod kits, and mouth to lung tanks (also known as mtl tanks) with detachable drip tips offer this vaping style. This can also happen with advanced vape kits (ohm kits) and vape mods with top-fill ohm tanks.
Inadvertent auto-firing should not ever happen without intention. We find that more often than not, this occurrence is the result of frayed connections that have internally accumulated over time. This is the same with most electrical goods that require charging. Unless you noticed this problem right away, it’s rarely the result of (new) faulty ohm vape hardware or fresh resistance coils that have become slowly deteriorated over time, however, this should not be ruled out completely. This tutorial will also help out those who are looking to stop their disposable vape from auto-firing.
So, let’s break down any potential issues and then delve into the best solutions…
This a problem that occurs when debris blocks the conduction ports between the mod of your device and the tank or pod that holds your e-liquid. This sort of block can accumulate when your kit is rolling around your pocket or bag. It can also happen when you leave you’re unscrewinganging your pod or vape tank and stray lint finds its way between the connectors.
You may be a vaper who insists on using your firing button. That’s okay because it's a great tank feature if you're keen to really create some big clouds of vapour for vape trciks! It’s great to have total control over how you inhale and it can help save you more e-liquid in the long run if you’re trying to conserve. Despite this, you might find that your button is fiddly, maybe sticking in when you try to press it, or maybe solidly stuck in place, causing it to ignite e-liquid at random intervals.
Vape tanks can leak and auto-fire when your e-liquid transfers to the atomizer incorrectly. This sort of thing can happen when the tank is cracked, the seal is broken/frayed, or you’ve been overfilling your tank.
Condensation issues can flare up between the tank/pod and the vape battery, which can lead to issues with how the battery and the pod communicate with each other.
This is what most people assume the problem is and it can be a real concern, especially if the kit cost a lot of money. This should only be truly considered if your kit is either very new or has been working and then suddenly ran into issues.
