How to Unclog Your Vape Pen or Cartridge
Written by: Sierra Acosta
Sometimes your vape pen gets a little too spiritually attached to its oil and decides to stop cooperating. If you’re dealing with a clogged cannabis vape cartridge or wondering how to unclog a vape pen, start by keeping things mellow: turn the battery off and check the mouthpiece for any visible oil buildup.
1. Clean the Vape Mouthpiece
First, give the mouthpiece a gentle wipe with a clean cotton swab to remove any accessible residue or vape oil buildup.
2. Try the Preheat Setting
Check if your device has a manufacturer-approved preheat setting, use a short preheat cycle to loosen thick oil and get things flowing again.
3. Gently Warm the Cartridge
If the vape cartridge is still clogged, gently warm it between your hands for a few minutes or follow the manufacturer’s instructions for safely warming the cartridge.
Once it’s warmed up, try a slow & gentle draw rather than pulling on it like you’re trying to summon the Great Spirit through a straw. Seriously, nobody wants to be sitting there fighting with their vape like it personally offended them.
If still the clog remains… Take a deep breath and remember: not every blockage is meant to be conquered. Sometimes you have to know when to call it quits and start over.
Stoner Tips 🌱
Harder Isn’t Always Better
Taking extremely forceful pulls can draw excess oil toward the mouthpiece and potentially contribute to vape cartridge clogging. A slow, gentle draw is generally a better approach.
Vape Storage Can Make a Difference
Keeping cannabis vape cartridges and vape pens according to the manufacturer’s storage recommendations can help protect the oil and hardware. Extreme temperatures are generally something to avoid.
