Avoid unintentionally making the same mistakes that many beginners experience by reading our helpful guide below. Following these simple tips can avoid losing any precious oil from your 510-thread cartridge.

1 - AVOID EXPOSING 510-THREAD OIL CARTRIDGES TO EXTREME TEMPERATURES

Leaving your THC vape pen in the car or exposing it to extreme temperature changes may cause the cannabis oil to become highly viscous and thus lead to a leaky cartridge - it’s like leaving a tube of lip balm in a hot car- messes will ensue! Prevent leaks from occurring by following each of our vape pen tips and keeping away from hot environments.

2 - AVOID DRASTIC ELEVATION AND TEMPERATURE CHANGES

While O.pen vaporizer pens make the perfect companion from the beach to the mountains - try to avoid drastic elevation and temperature changes as this may force the oil to leak from the cartridge. Much like leaving a sealed shampoo bottle in your checked bag on an airplane, proper vape pen care and storage prevents leaking.

3 - PROTECT YOUR THC CARTRIDGE

It can be the worst experience cracking your brand new oil cartridge because of an accidental drop. A simple solution is using an O.pen protective cover or you can purchase a cheap pencil or pen grip that is available for only a few bucks on Amazon. These inexpensive but effective products will adequately protect your 510-thread cartridge from cracking if dropped, and avoid losing any precious oil.

4 - AVOID DRAWING ON YOUR VAPE TOO HARD

It's important to gently inhale to avoid pulling any cannabis oil up, not that this is commonplace. It is more likely towards the end of a cartridge, and especially true if you have been vaporizing a cartridge a lot, among multiple people, the cannabis oil will become thin enough to travel through the mouthpiece. We recommend allowing the oil cartridge to cool down before going back for another puff of the vape pen. Frequent use will cause the cartridge to become warm, and in turn, the cannabis oil inside too.

5 - UNDERSTAND MAX VOLTAGE FOR CARTRIDGES 

It's important not to exceed the recommended voltage for a 510-thread cartridge when vaping, and if you do, it can result in bitter tasting vapor. Typically, the average vape cartridge for vaping cannabis oil should not go beyond 4.0 volts.  We understand that everyone is after a different type of vapor, and we provide the best options available with our variable voltage vape batteries for sale. We sell a variable voltage vape battery pen with 4 different settings, and recommend always starting low before going high.

Now that you’ve learned how to take care of your oil cartridges, it's important to understand how to properly take care of your vape pen battery, so its battery life can last as long as possible. Simple vape pen tips such as keeping it out of extreme heat and using the correct charger can make a big difference. We list the most common mistakes to avoid with a vape battery and how to properly take care of them below.

1 - KEEP YOUR THC PEN FULLY CHARGED

If the light on your vape battery is flashing red – it’s time to recharge. Simply connect the pen battery to the charger and insert into a USB port on a computer or other electronic device. The light on the battery and charger should illuminate, letting you know that it’s charging up. Once the light on the charger turns green, the battery is fully charged and ready to use.

If you're someone where the speed of charging your vape battery matters, then we highly recommend our variable voltage option that comes with a rapid 20 minute charge mode. This is our 2.0 vape battery pen that we describe in more detail below.

2 - USE A VAPE PEN CASE TO PROTECT IT

As far as THC pen care goes, storage cases are often overlooked as necessities for proper care. To keep your cannabis oil pen looking brand new, keep it in a protective case. Cases allow you to make your vape pen more portable, protecting it from breaking and scratching. Some even allow you to puff on your vape pen while in the case.

3 - VAPE PEN BLINKING 3 TIMES - HOW TO FIX

Experiencing your vape pen blinking 3 times can be a common issue, often linked to a short circuit or poor connection between the vape cartridge and battery. Here's a step-by-step guide to address and fix this problem, ensuring your device operates smoothly.

1. Identifying the Issue:

   • Understand that a blinking light may indicate a short circuit or a weak connection.
   • Recognize the potential causes, such as a dirty connection or misalignment between the cartridge and battery.

2. Cleaning for Resolution:

   • Use a cotton swab and alcohol to clean the connection points on both the cartridge and battery.
   • Ensure a thorough cleaning to eliminate any residue that may disrupt the electrical connection.

3. Adjusting the Connection Plate:

   • Try adjusting the connection plate on either the cartridge or battery to enhance the establishment of a stable connection.
   • Ensure proper alignment to promote seamless communication between the components.

4. Troubleshooting with a New Cartridge:

4 - VAPE PEN BLINKS 10 TIMES

When you find your vape pen blinking 10 times, at first, you might be alarmed. But this is a somewhat common occurrence in vape pen devices, for a plethora of reasons. Here are the most common reasons why you’ll find vape pens blinking 10 times - 

If you’ve run through all of the typical troubleshooting tips, and your vape pen is still blinking 10 times, then it might be time for a new device. While high-quality vape pen devices are equipped to last long periods of time, they won’t last forever. 

Keep in mind that consumers who use vape pens frequently, or neglect regular cleaning routines typically have to replace their devices more frequently than others who don’t. That’s why following these vape pen tips is beneficial to avoid or defer replacement costs.

5 - VAPE PEN BLINKS WHEN CARTRIDGE IS IN

If your vape pen blinks when the cartridge is connected, the issue is one that’s typically easy to solve. Normally, the ongoing blinking of a vape pen occurs when the battery connection is loose or disrupted. That’s why the device continually blinks as it would when it’s beginning to charge. 

To fix the issue, simply unscrew the battery and re-screw it back in to tighten the connection. Of course, there are a few other reasons why a vape pen blinks when a cartridge is in. It could mean your power button is stuck or blocked with dirt or grime. 

In this case, wipe down the button with an isopropyl alcohol-soaked q-tip. Beyond this, more advanced models might blink when a cartridge is in, if there’s some safety hazard, or if an incompatible cartridge is connected. 

If cleaning the button and reconnecting the battery doesn’t work to solve the issue, reference the device’s manual for more information. Because continuous blinking could indicate the activation of safety features, it’s best to halt vaping use until it’s resolved, to avoid damaging the device or other potential hazards.

6 - VAPE BATTERY PEN BLINKING WHILE CHARGING

If you're currently experiencing a blinking link on your vape pen while trying to charge it, the solution is ensuring the connections are both clean with a cotton swab dipped in alcohol. Allow for both connections to dry before trying to charge again. If the blinking continues to happen, it might be time to replace the charger. 

7 - VAPE PEN KEEPS BLINKING

Unfortunately, the continuous blinking from a 510-thread vape battery pen is indicating the cartridge is not compatible. This is typical with cheap vape cartridges from unlicensed brands, another reason to buy reliable oil cartridges from licensed brands such as ours.

There are many reasons why you're going to want to buy a vape battery from a reputable brand. We have high standards and many safety measures to ensure quality vape batteries are manufactured.
