A little regular care goes a long way with any vape device. Here are the basics that make the biggest difference.<\/p>

Clean the Contacts<\/h2>

Residue builds up on battery and cartridge contacts over time, which can cause weak hits or connection issues. A cotton swab with a bit of isopropyl alcohol, wiped gently across the contact points every week or two, keeps things running smoothly.<\/p>

Store It Upright<\/h2>

Storing cartridges upright helps prevent leaking and keeps the oil where it belongs. It also protects the battery from unnecessary strain.<\/p>

Don’t Overcharge<\/h2>

Unplug your device once it’s fully charged. Leaving batteries on the charger long-term can shorten their lifespan over time.<\/p>

Know When to Replace<\/h2>

If you’re noticing a burnt taste, inconsistent vapor, or a battery that won’t hold a charge, it’s usually time for a replacement part rather than a fix. Bring it by and we can help you figure out what’s going on.<\/p>
