Cannabis vaping devices, whether disposable or non-disposable, can sometimes become clogged, disrupting your smooth and enjoyable experience. A clogged device may not produce vapor or might produce a weak or inconsistent draw. The good news is that in many cases, these issues can be easily fixed with a few simple methods. Let’s explore how to unclog both disposable and non-disposable cannabis vaping devices.
Unclogging Disposable Vaping Devices
Disposable cannabis vaping devices are convenient but can sometimes get clogged, usually due to resin buildup in the mouthpiece or air pathways. One of the easiest ways to clear a clog in these devices is to blow air through the rear of the device. Here’s how to do it:
Remove the mouthpiece (if detachable) or hold the device with the mouthpiece facing down.
Blow gently through the back end of the device, where the airflow or charging port is located. The pressure from your breath can help dislodge any debris or thick oil that’s causing the blockage.
Check the airflow: After blowing air through, take a test draw. If the airflow is restored, the issue is likely resolved.
If this method doesn’t work, you can try using a toothpick or small cleaning tool to gently poke through the mouthpiece or air intake, being careful not to damage any internal components.
Unclogging Non-Disposable Cannabis Vaping Devices (Cartridges)
Non-disposable devices like cartridge-based vapes tend to get clogged due to debris buildup, often from the cannabis oil thickening or resin collecting in the mouthpiece or airway. Here are a few methods to unclog a cartridge vape:
Clear the Mouthpiece: Start by inspecting the mouthpiece. Often, thick oils can build up, causing a block. Use a small tool like a toothpick or paperclip to clear any residue or debris inside the mouthpiece. Gently scrape or poke at the buildup, being careful not to damage the internal parts.
Warm the Cartridge: If the cannabis oil has thickened, warming the cartridge can help loosen the oil. Hold the cartridge between your hands for a few minutes, or place it in a warm (but not hot) area to soften the oil, making it easier to draw through.
Suck Hard: If the mouthpiece appears clear but the device still isn’t producing vapor, sucking hard on the mouthpiece can help dislodge any stubborn clogs. This creates suction that may break free any remaining blockages or allow the oil to flow more easily.
Clean the Airflow Path: For more stubborn clogs, use a cleaning brush or a cotton swab dipped in rubbing alcohol to clean the airflow passage inside the device. After cleaning, let it dry before using it again.
Prevention Tips
To prevent clogging in the future, always store your vape device upright, avoid overusing it, and regularly clean the mouthpiece and other components to reduce buildup. Keeping your vaping device in optimal condition will ensure you enjoy smooth hits every time.
In conclusion, unclogging cannabis vaping devices is usually a simple task. Whether you're using a disposable device or a cartridge-based vape, the key is to clear debris gently and avoid damaging delicate parts.
