Nowadays, a vape pen cartridge is the preferred delivery method for many.

Try gently using a safety pin or similar item around the mouthpiece to test if there is something hindering airflow, and see if you can manually dislodge it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The fix:<\/strong> Avoid overfilling the cart (you'll know when you've done this as \u201cspitback\u201d occurs when the cart has been overfilled and hot droplets shoot out). Avoid leaving the device for too long without using it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-incorrect-airflow-setting\">Incorrect airflow setting<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Getting the airflow setting right is key to ensuring your oil flows freely. When you're filling a vape pen cartridge, the airflow holes must be completely closed. When the vape pen is being used, the airflow holes should be open enough that you can inhale with ease, without having to pull air in forcefully.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The fix:<\/strong> Inhaling too hard can encourage flooding, which can lead to leakage and airflow problems. Inhale gently, and let the wicks on the coil do the heavy lifting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-twisting-the-vape-cartridge-too-tight\">Twisting the vape cartridge too tight<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Filling the cart then over-zealously twisting it closed can block off the airflow holes. \u201cWhen airflow holes are located in the threading area, you can't screw the cartridge too tight,\u201d said Peki.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The fix:<\/strong> Screw your cartridge back onto the vape battery gently.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-block-image \">\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/CRTV-3750_Lifestyle-Campaign_Vape_042-2.jpg?ssl=1\" data-modal-open=\"lightbox_3426\">\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/CRTV-3750_Lifestyle-Campaign_Vape_042-2.jpg?fit=640%2C360&ssl=1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/CRTV-3750_Lifestyle-Campaign_Vape_042-2.jpg?w=2048&ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/CRTV-3750_Lifestyle-Campaign_Vape_042-2.jpg?resize=300%2C169&ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/CRTV-3750_Lifestyle-Campaign_Vape_042-2.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/CRTV-3750_Lifestyle-Campaign_Vape_042-2.jpg?resize=768%2C432&ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/CRTV-3750_Lifestyle-Campaign_Vape_042-2.jpg?resize=1536%2C864&ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/CRTV-3750_Lifestyle-Campaign_Vape_042-2.jpg?w=1280&ssl=1 1280w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/CRTV-3750_Lifestyle-Campaign_Vape_042-2.jpg?w=1920&ssl=1 1920w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 768px) 476px, (min-width: 1218px) 772px, 100vw\" alt=\"4 cannabis vape pens in a pile\" title=\"Click to see a larger version of the image\">\n\t\t\t<\/a><cite>Photo by: Gina Coleman\/Weedmaps<\/cite><\/figure>\t\t\t<div id=\"lightbox_3426\" data-modal data-modal-hide-heading data-modal-manual-close hidden>\n\t\t\t\t<h2>Image lightbox<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/CRTV-3750_Lifestyle-Campaign_Vape_042-2.jpg?fit=640%2C360&ssl=1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/CRTV-3750_Lifestyle-Campaign_Vape_042-2.jpg?w=2048&ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/CRTV-3750_Lifestyle-Campaign_Vape_042-2.jpg?resize=300%2C169&ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/CRTV-3750_Lifestyle-Campaign_Vape_042-2.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/CRTV-3750_Lifestyle-Campaign_Vape_042-2.jpg?resize=768%2C432&ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/CRTV-3750_Lifestyle-Campaign_Vape_042-2.jpg?resize=1536%2C864&ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/CRTV-3750_Lifestyle-Campaign_Vape_042-2.jpg?w=1280&ssl=1 1280w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/CRTV-3750_Lifestyle-Campaign_Vape_042-2.jpg?w=1920&ssl=1 1920w\" sizes=\"100vw\" alt=\"4 cannabis vape pens in a pile\">\n\t\t\t\t<button role=\"button\" class=\"a11y-modal__close-btn\" data-modal-close-btn>\n\t\t\t\t\t<svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"currentColor\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M13.414 12l4.293 4.293a1 1 0 01-1.414 1.414L12 13.414l-4.293 4.293a1 1 0 11-1.414-1.414L10.586 12 6.293 7.707a1 1 0 011.414-1.414L12 10.586l4.293-4.293a1 1 0 011.414 1.414L13.414 12z\"\/><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t<\/button>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-oil-viscosity\">Oil viscosity<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Although oil viscosity is not directly related to airflow, Peki said oil viscosity issues are often mistaken for airflow issues. \u201cDifferent oils and concentrates have lower or higher viscosity,\u201d he explained. \u201cThicker oils need more time to warm up.

For starters, dab pens are designed to vape thicker concentrates, such as wax or roisin, which tend to have a higher viscosity than the concentrate liquid used in vape pens. However, some vape pens are compatible with both cartridges and wax.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to troubleshooting bad dab pen airflow, there are different issues to identify. The most common issue is battery-related, or in the case of a dab pen, box-mod-related. You'll want to get the setting right for the specific heating coil in your dab pen. Dab pens that operate with a box or vape mod battery often require a little rudimentary research so you can get familiar with your device and how it works.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSome box mods come with temperature control capabilities, however, not every type of coil is suited for that,\u201d said Peki. \u201cIf you try to dab with a Kanthal coil in temperature control mode, you won't get any vapor.\u201d Peki also pointed out that if the wattage setting of the box mod is lower than the recommended wattage, you can expect feeble, wispy vapor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bottom line: <\/strong>High-quality dab pens are extremely modifiable devices that can work with various types of coils (the heating element) and batteries. Often, getting to the bottom of your airflow problem is simply a matter of familiarizing yourself with the quirks and settings of your dab pen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wm-article-table-of-contents-header\" id=\"why-do-i-have-to-pull-so-hard-on-my-vape\">\n\tWhy do I have to pull so hard on my vape?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Chances are, if you're pulling hard on your vape pen it's because you've been pulling too hard in the past and you've flooded the tank. Drawing hard when you vape causes the wicks to absorb more concentrate than the coil can vaporize. Excess oil floods the tank and clogs the airflow holes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The fix: <\/strong>Take your vape pen apart carefully and clean the threading on the battery, the tank, the air holes, and the mouthpiece. Following this, you can reassemble the device and test it, taking gentle pulls and making sure to inhale slowly and not too forcefully. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We've come a long way since the days where smoking weed meant rolling a doobie.
