1. Check if it’s a blocked cartridge

Most “not working” vape pens are simply clogged. Thick oil can block airflow, especially in colder weather. Try gently warming the cartridge in your hands and taking a slow, steady pull.

2. Battery issues (very common)

If nothing happens at all, your battery may be dead or disconnected. Recharge rechargeable pens fully, or check if a disposable has actually run out of power.

3. Disposable vape “dead” too early?

Sometimes disposables stop working before the oil is finished. This can be due to manufacturing faults or improper storage.

4. Poor connection between cartridge and battery

For 510-thread devices, unscrew and reconnect the cartridge to ensure proper contact.

5. Thick or settled oil

Cannabis oil can thicken over time, especially in colder environments, making it hard to vaporise properly.

6. Burnt or used-up coil

If you taste a burnt flavour, the coil is likely finished and the cartridge needs replacing.

7. Airflow blockage

Residue or oil buildup in the mouthpiece can block airflow. A gentle clean can often restore performance.
