Troubleshooting Guide – UK Aspire Vendor
Disposables / Pre-Filled Devices
Q: I don’t think I’m getting enough puffs from my disposable vape kit

Monitor how long of a draw you’re taking

The puff count is calculated based on an average draw length. If you exceed that, you'll get fewer puffs. Consider upgrading to a refillable kit if needed.

Take a break

Vape only when you need to—keep your device tucked away to avoid accidental puffs.

Check your dosage

Longer draws or more frequent puffs may mean you need a higher nicotine strength temporarily.

Max nicotine reached?

If already at 20mg, you may be vaping excessively. Try deliberate “vape breaks” to reduce dependency.

Is your batch bad?

Devices can malfunction. Contact our customer service for a replacement if you suspect a faulty unit.

Q: My disposable tastes bad

Give it a rest!

After a few puffs, pause to let the coil reabsorb e-liquid—burnt cotton tastes unpleasant.

Move it about

Tilt or invert the device so remaining juice reaches the wick.

It's not you, it's us

If defective, reach out for a warranty replacement.

If all else fails

When juice or battery is spent, replace the disposable or switch to a refillable kit.

Vape Kits
Q: The battery in my vape kit doesn’t hold its charge for very long

Consider your usage

Check your device’s mAh rating. Higher capacity lasts longer—upgrade if needed.

Charge correctly

Cycle between 25–85% and avoid overnight charging to extend battery life.

Confirm charging

Ensure your cable and port are clean; look for the charger’s indicator light.

Check the socket

Remove debris from the port for a reliable connection.

If all else fails

Batteries degrade—replace if performance drops significantly.

Q: My vape kit has sprung a leak

Avoid overfilling

Leave a small air gap to maintain vacuum and prevent leaks.

Don't over-tighten

Thread parts snugly but not excessively to protect seals.

Check for cracks

Replace cracked glass or pod—spare parts are often available.

Store upright

Keep your device standing when not in use to reduce seepage.

After a flight?

Empty tank/pod before flight; pressure changes can force juice out.

If all else fails

Try a different kit or juice ratio—contact us for recommendations.

Q: There is e-liquid accumulation around the connections of my pod device

Check the coil

A worn coil can flood—install a fresh, primed coil.

Check the wattage

Low wattage may not vaporise juice quickly enough; increase within specs.

Charge fully

Ensure full battery power for proper coil heating.

Q: My vape kit isn't working

Check power

Press the fire button rapidly (3–5 times) per your manual to toggle on/off.

Charge the battery

Use the correct charger and ensure a full charge.

Clean connections

Use a cotton bud to remove residue at the battery/pod interface.

If none work

If under warranty, contact us; otherwise explore our replacement range.

Vape Usage
Q: My vape tastes burnt

Replace the coil

Coils have a finite lifespan—swap for a new one per our guide.

Prime properly

Ensure the wick is fully soaked before vaping.

Check wattage

Lower to the coil’s recommended range to avoid burning.

Let it rest

Pause between puffs to allow re-wicking.

Q: I’m not getting any draw from my vaping device

Ensure battery is charged

Make sure the device is powered on and charged.

Refill e-liquid

Top up your tank or pod.

Replace coil

A clogged coil can block airflow—install a fresh one.

Clean terminals

Remove residue at the battery/pod junction.

If unresolved

Defective coils can restrict airflow—replace and notify us.

Q: I’m not getting big enough clouds when I vape

Check VG/PG ratio

High VG produces denser vapour—match to sub-ohm coils.

Prime & replace coil

A fresh, primed coil vapourises more efficiently.

Charge fully

Ensure full battery power.

Clean connections

Good contact ensures max power transfer.

If still small

Try a higher-power device for cloud chasing.

Q: I’m not getting enough of a throat hit when I vape

Adjust PG ratio

PG gives throat hit—increase PG ratio.

Switch nicotine type

Freebase gives sharper hit; salts are smoother.

Evaluate flavour

Menthol/tobacco deliver stronger hits than sweet or creamy.

If still low

Upgrade to an adjustable airflow/power device.

Q: I’m not getting enough of a nicotine hit when I vape

Increase strength

Match your smoking habit—raise mg/ml.

Try nic salts

Faster absorption than freebase.

Use MTL technique

Long, gentle draws maximise uptake.

Q: I’m not getting enough flavour from my e-liquid when I vape

Hydrate your palate

Sip water to reset taste buds.

Check juice age

Oxidation dulls flavour—use fresher bottles.

Replace & prime coil

A clean coil delivers crisp taste.

Rotate flavours

Alternate juices to avoid vaper’s tongue.

Q: My coils don’t last very long

Consider your vaping style

Chain-vaping heats the coil without giving the wick time to re-soak, which accelerates wear. Try shorter pauses—several 2-second draws instead of one long 10-second puff.

Check your e-liquid

Sweeter “dessert” flavours contain more sweeteners, which can gunk up and degrade coils faster than a light fruit blend.

Mind your wattage

Each coil has a recommended range. Vaping at the top end shortens coil life; exceeding it risks burning. Always stay within listed specs.

Watch your draw length

Extended draws generate excessive heat. Multiple short draws reduce stress on the wick and help coils last longer.

If all else fails

Coils are hand-assembled, and occasionally a “dud” slips through. If you’ve tried everything above, prime a fresh coil and swap it out.

E-Liquids
Q: My e-liquids are turning dark

Consider storage

Keep bottles in a cool, dark, dry place.

Minimise exposure

Partial fills reduce air contact.

Check nicotine level

Higher nicotine oxidises faster.

Clean tank before refilling

Old residue can taint new juice.

Inspect coil

Particles from a worn coil can darken liquid—replace and prime.

If unresolved

All juice oxidises over time, especially freebase types.
