What Does It Mean When a Disposable Vape Blinks

There are many reasons for blinking lights on your disposable vape. If you have been using the disposable for some days and you see blinking light, that could be the vape telling you that it is coming to the end of its natural use. And you simply need to get a new one. In this case, it is the e-liquid that has run out. And since it is disposable, it cannot be refilled. Thus, you need to purchase another device for a continuous vaping experience.

Some other times, if the device is low on battery or has a faulty one, the blinking lights also come on. This indicates that the device's power source is weak, and you need to do something about it or get a new one altogether.

At another time, especially if you just picked the disposable fresh out of the box and it begins to blink, that is a different case. In this case, the disposable is usually faulty and needs to be replaced. You can reach out to the company you bought it from to correct this anomaly.

Reasons for Disposable Blinking

You probably have a clue regarding the factors responsible now. But then, here are the three (3) main reasons why your disposable is blinking:

The battery is low or dead

Naturally, most vapes are prefilled with about 1.8ml of e-liquid. And they usually come with a battery capacity of 350mAh. Unfortunately, this is not a battery capacity that can last forever. Within two to three days of puffing, the battery would have gotten much weaker by use. Thus, a way to indicate to you that the battery is dead or low is through the blinking lights.Beco disposable vapes

So, no worries. This is a normal phenomenon. And the battery capacity was intentionally made in a way that it would sufficiently last you throughout the phase of vaping the 1.8ml e-juice. It is only in rare cases when the battery is very weak or dead that it would not be able to power the vaping of the juice.

The e-juice is empty

A normal prefilled disposable can last up to 400 puffs! That means that 1.8ml e-juice capacity can last you up to that number of puffs. And it only makes sense (doesn't it?) that once you take 400 puffs, you should expect the vape to be empty or close to being so. And at this stage, the device begins to notify you that something is wrong with the e-liquid's content level through the blinking light. And this blinking happens even if the battery is not yet dead, but the liquid level is very low. Most people think that many vendors do not truly prefill the disposable with the said quantity, and that is why it finishes faster than they expect. This could also be a reason that the lights blink, to bring your attention to the low-level quantity of vapes.

Faulty Device,Your Brand-New Disposable not Heating

Here, the blinking lights bring your attention to the internal damage that might have occurred in the device. If the device probably drops into water or any of the internal cables get broken, then the disposable will not be able to heat up the e-liquids in order to produce the vapors that are inhaled. Thus, the lights blink to tell you that something is internally wrong with the device.

So, is the case hopeless, or is your device gone once the blinking lights come on? Well, you can still fix your disposable vape. Here is how.

If the e-juice in your disposable is empty, then consider refilling your disposable vape with new e-liquids. Most of these e-juices are available online or in any of the vape stores around you.

For a faulty device, you would need a replacement from the company. Or you have to buy a new one, essentially. Sometimes, repairing the disposable vape may seem to be a long shot. But you should definitely look towards getting another device to continue your vaping venture.
