This is not the kind of fizz we’re looking for, right? Fear not, we’ve got your back with this super easy guide to banishing those pesky bubbles. It’s so simple, you could do it while watching the latest TikTok dance trends. So, grab your vape pen and let’s get started learning how to remove air bubbles from vape cartridges.
How to Fix a Clogged Vape Cartridge
Step 1: Fix a Clogged Vape Cartridge – Use a Hairdryer
First off, let’s crank up the temperature. No, we’re not suggesting you break a sweat. We’re talking about how you’re about to fix your clogged vape cartridge. Just as you wouldn’t hit the gym without warming up, you don’t want to tackle your vape cartridge without a little heat.
Borrow your roommate’s hairdryer (just don’t tell them why), switch it to low heat, and give your cartridge a gentle warm-up. We’re aiming for a toasty, cozy feel, not a Sahara desert heatwave. You don’t want your cartridge feeling like it’s just crossed the finish line at a marathon.
Step 2: Shake the Cartridge
With your cartridge all warmed up, it’s time to shake things up. Think Taylor Swift and “shake it off” but not an earthquake. Hold your cartridge firmly and give it a good shake. Remember, we’re trying to get rid of bubbles, not create more.
Step 3: Flip it and Reverse it – Flip it Upside-Down
Next, flip that cartridge upside down. Why? Because you don’t want that vape pen clogging up again. And, gravity, folks! Those bubbles will naturally want to rise, so by turning your cartridge upside down, you’re helping them move away from the wick (that’s the part that soaks up the vape juice).
Step 4: Unclogging Paperclip style – Use a Paperclip
Now comes the hardest part: waiting. Let your cartridge chill upside down for a bit. Catch up on your favorite Netflix series, learn a new TikTok dance, or plan your next Instagram post. When you return, those bubbles should be history.
If you’re cart is still clogged, grab a paperclip, unfold it (as pictured below) and insert it into the cartridge. Give it a few twists and slowly pull it out. Clean the clip off and repeat.
(PRO TIP: do NOT push the paper clip too far or you will dislodge the battery connector going to the heating element that sticks out at the bottom of your cart – if you do..good luck using your cartridge again).
Step 5: Now You Can Vape Bubble Free
Once the bubbles have disappeared, flip your cartridge back to its upright position. Give it a moment to settle, and voila! You’re ready to vape, bubble-free.
Remember, vaping is all about enjoying the journey. So don’t let a few bubbles ruin your vibe. Follow these simple steps, and you’ll be blowing cloud rings in no time. Keep it cool and vape on VICESNOB.
