Why is my vape leaking or gurgling?

The problem Liquid collects around the pod, the device gurgles on a draw, or liquid reaches the mouthpiece.

Likely causes - Overfilling a refillable pod, leaving no air gap. - A pod not seated fully, or a worn seal. - Condensation building up in the airway, which is normal in small amounts. - Drawing too hard or too long, which pulls excess liquid into the coil. - A large temperature or pressure change, such as a flight or a hot car.

Safe checks - Remove the pod and wipe the contacts and pod housing dry. - Refit the pod firmly. - Fill to the marked line and leave the air gap. - Take slower, gentler draws. - Store the device upright.

When to replace Replace the pod if the seal is visibly damaged or leaking continues after these checks.
