Why Is My Vape Spitting?

Vape spitting is an issue that some adult vapers may encounter. There are different reasons why a vape could be spitting liquid, from incorrect wattage levels to a degraded coil.

 

Reasons for a Vape Spitting Liquid 

 

There are several reasons why vape spitting might occur:

 

- A vape’s wattage is incorrect – for instance, when the wattage is too low, the vape may not be able to heat the e-liquid fast enough to vaporize it correctly.

 

- A coil has degraded – the interior of a coil might flood with e-liquid once it has degraded. This could cause the vape to spit liquid.

 

- The coil is over primed – when too much e-liquid is added around the coil (for example, during a coil change), excess e-liquid could result in a vape spitting.

 

- The airflow is blocked - when this occurs, a vape may not work properly. It might be possible to clear the airflow by cleaning the mouthpiece.

 

- The e-liquid is not suitable – an incorrect e-liquid could result in a spitting vape. Check the manufacturer’s advice if you are unsure about the right type of e-liquid to use.

 

What Can You Do to Prevent a Vape from Spitting? 

 

Taking care of a device may keep it working and help preserve its longevity. The following precautionary measures might help in preventing future vape spitting incidents.

 

- Fill the tank carefully and do not overfill it – also consider that the method of cleaning the mouthpiece could mitigate a problem like excess e-liquid (where the tank is overfilled).

 

- Take care not to over prime the coil – a coil may need to be primed every time it is changed. Prime it as per manufacturer instructions and be careful not to over prime as this can lead to a spitting vape.

 

- Replace coils regularly - as with any component, coils typically degrade over time. Coils are a vape component that should be changed when necessary.

 

- Monitor the Vegetable Glycerin and Propylene Glycol content in e-liquid - both of these are common e-liquid ingredients. Some devices require an e-liquid that has a 50/50 balance of Vegetable Glycerin and Propylene Glycol. Other devices may have alternative requirements. Check the suitability of the e-liquid in use according to the manufacturer’s guidance.

 

- Avoid modifying the vape – many manufacturers recommend you do not adjust your vape to maximize its vapor production, as this can cause vapes to malfunction, or even stop working altogether. 

 

- Practice good maintenance – manufacturers usually recommend regular vape cleaning. Wipe the mouthpiece and remove e-liquid residue from the chimney and beneath the coil to soak up any excess. You can also check your O-ring (if you have one) for damage and replace it if necessary.

 

- Store the device correctly – follow manufacturer guidance on how to correctly store your vape

Are There Any Smoke-Free Alternatives That Won’t Spit? 

 

For those adult smokers interested in an alternative to smoking cigarettes who would prefer to avoid vape spitting, you might consider a smoke-free alternative that does not include e-liquid. IQOS heated tobacco is an option, available for adult smokers looking to switch from cigarettes. There are more than 19 million* IQOS users globally, of which 13.2 million** have completely quit cigarettes.

 

IQOS heats authentic tobacco instead of burning it. IQOS provides cigarette-like satisfaction*** and, unlike cigarettes, IQOS does not burn tobacco and therefore produces no smoke. As there is typically no e-liquid in heated tobacco, there is no chance of spitting liquid.
