When a vape flashes, it often indicates an issue or a specific condition that requires attention. Here are six common reasons behind why a vape might flash:
Low Battery: A flashing light on your vape device could signal that the battery is running low. Charging the battery is typically necessary in this situation. Some devices flash a certain number of times to indicate different battery levels.
Short Circuit: If there's a short circuit in the device or if the coil isn't properly installed, the vape might flash as a safety precaution. Check the coil, connections, and overall device for any signs of damage or improper assembly.
Overheating: Continuous usage or chain-vaping can cause the device to overheat. Most modern vapes have safety features that cause them to flash when they become too hot. Give it a rest and allow it to cool down before using it again.
Firing Timeout: Some vapes have a safety feature that automatically stops firing after a certain duration to prevent overheating or other issues. The flashing might indicate that the device has reached this timeout period.
No Atomizer Detected: If the device doesn't detect an atomizer or if the coil isn't making proper contact with the device, it might flash to indicate the absence of an atomizer. Check the connections, ensure the coil is properly screwed in, and try again.
E-Liquid Level or Flooding: In some cases, a vape might flash if the e-liquid level is too low or if the tank is flooded. Refill the tank if needed or clean excess e-liquid to address this issue.
