Why is my electronic cigarette leaking?<\/b> Improper maintenance, the wrong choice of e-liquid, or incorrect use are among a number of factors that can cause your e-cigarette to leak.<\/span><\/p>\n

Properly Maintaining and Checking the Clearomiser<\/strong><\/h2>\n

If your <\/span>electronic cigarette<\/b><\/a> is leaking, you need to check a few things before considering replacing or repairing it.<\/span><\/p>\n

First, concentrate on <\/span>your puff\u2019s clearomiser<\/b>, which is the <\/span>upper part<\/b> of your e-cigarette that screws onto the lower part and contains the <\/span>battery<\/b>. Start by <\/span>cleaning it thoroughly<\/b> with lukewarm water and a few drops of washing-up liquid. If the leaks persist after this procedure, it\u2019s possible the clearomiser <\/span>isn\u2019t screwed on properly<\/b>. In this case, screw it back on firmly but gently to avoid damaging your electronic cigarette.<\/span><\/p>\n

The <\/span>heating element<\/b> may also be <\/span>poorly screwed in<\/b>. In this case, lots of e-liquid can escape from the <\/span>screw thread<\/b>, which may also be <\/span>worn<\/b>. To be on the safe side, if you notice a particularly strange taste in your e-liquid, <\/span>reduced performance from your e-cigarette<\/b>, or leaks, you will need to <\/span>change the heating element<\/b> as soon as possible to avoid damaging your vape.<\/span><\/p>\n

Finally, make sure the <\/span>seals<\/b> on your e-cigarette are in good condition! If they are <\/span>worn<\/b>, they will be less watertight, and the risk of leaks will inevitably <\/span>increase<\/b>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Choosing the Right E-liquid<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The base of an <\/span>e-liquid<\/span><\/a> is made from three ingredients: <\/span>propylene glycol<\/b> (PG), <\/span>vegetable glycerine<\/b> (VG), and <\/span>flavourings<\/b>. <\/span>Nicotine<\/b> is optional. To avoid leaks, take a look at the <\/span>PG\/VG content<\/b> of your e-liquid. An e-liquid <\/span>high in PG<\/b> will be more <\/span>fluid<\/b> and, thus, more prone to causing leaks in your vape.<\/span><\/p>\n

By contrast, a liquid <\/span>high in VG<\/b> will be much more <\/span>viscous<\/b>, but the heating element will have trouble absorbing it, which can also cause your e-cigarette to leak.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, you need to find an e-liquid with a <\/span>balanced PG\/VG ratio<\/b> to reduce the risk of liquid leaking from the clearomiser.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Importance of Properly Maintaining Your Electronic Cigarette<\/strong><\/h2>\n

As a <\/span>regular vaper<\/b>, <\/span>electronic cigarettes<\/b> go with you everywhere: in your bag, your pocket, and your hand. This exposes your vape to bacteria and dirt on a daily basis, so it\u2019s important to pay special attention to <\/span>cleaning <\/b>it.<\/span><\/p>\n

It pays to be diligent with cleaning your electronic cigarette inside and out. The <\/span>internal components<\/b> will need to be regularly maintained to ensure that your electronic cigarette <\/span>works properly<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

To clean the <\/span>components<\/b> of your e-cigarette correctly, here are some simple steps to follow:<\/span><\/p>\n
