Now that you know why your disposable can get clogged up, it's time to go over ways to prevent this from ever happening. Here are some ways you can avoid all the hassle in the first place:
Keep the Cap
Most disposables come packaged with a rubber cap covering the mouthpiece. Though it is natural to toss it out and start vaping, you should keep this cap and place it on the disposable when you're not enjoying it to keep dust or pocket lint from getting into the mouthpiece.
Temperature Control
Never leave your disposables outside or anywhere where the temperature can fluctuate greatly. Simply put, just leave your disposables in your home.
Vertical Storage
Setting down your disposable "standing up" will prevent distillate from slowly reaching the mouthpiece. The corner of a box or drawer should suffice if your disposable is long and narrow.
Frequent Charging
How often you recharge your disposable will depend on how you enjoy it. Some disposables should not recharged, but if the option is there, make it a habit between your sessions.
How to Unclog Your Disposable
You could follow all the steps above and still deal with clogs. That's life. If you are dealing with a clogged disposable, here are some crafty ways you can get it back and running:
Use the Preheat Function
If your disposable is clogged and it has a preheat function, activate it. A preheat function warms the distillate at a lower temperature to "loosen it up," which can be enough to unclog your disposable.
You can activate the preheat function for our latest disposables by pressing the power button twice after turning the device on.
Take Strong Pulls
Another easy way to clear your unclogged disposable is to take extra hard pulls. Like, imagine you're trying to suck a tiny seed through a straw. Just make sure you take a deep breath and give yourself breaks. Once unlogged, we only recommend taking gentle pulls on your disposable.
Clear The Mouthpiece
Disposables often get clogged because of a build-up of residue around the mouthpiece. You can clear up this residue by inserting a toothpick or a bent paper clip into the mouthpiece and gently (without too much force) scraping away at the interior of the mouthpiece.
Warm Up The Disposable
For reasons unknown, you may have forgotten to bring your disposable inside from that fun night looking up at the stars with other cannabis enthusiasts. If you've got patience, just bring it indoors and let time do its thing.
But if you can't wait, you can use the water bowl technique, which is the following:
- Place your disposable in a sealable plastic bag
- Remove the air from the bag by pressing it out or sucking it out
- Seal the bag and place it in a bowl of warm (not hot) water with the bag's opening sticking out of the water, secured to the side of the bowl with a binder clip or similar device
