Troubleshooting your UWELL Whirl T1 vape device?

If you own the UWELL Whirl T1 kit this page will assist you to troubleshoot many of your potential problems.  The UWELL Whirl T1 is a well made quality device, but with any vaping product on the market, could experience issues.  Hopefully, you will find the questions you have and effectively troubleshoot your UWELL Whirl T1 vape kit with this information.


UWELL Whirl T1 is leaking

If your UWELL Whirl T1 is leaking there are a few things that you should be looked at in order to stop the leaking.  Because of the tank & coil design of the UWELL Whirl T1, it is an unlikely device to leak but there are a few common issues that could cause it to leak.

A) Over Filling

Overfilling your tank is the most likely reason for it to leak.  Be sure to never fill your tank beyond the max capacity of the tank as it will leak out the top when you replace your coil.  When in doubt, fill your device to about 90% capacity.

B) Cracked plastic

If you dropped your UWELL Whirl T1, or if it was in a pocket or purse that got bumped around a lot, it’s possible for the plastic pod to have broken. Even if you do not see a crack, if the leak is coming from near the top, it is possible that the plastic has been cracked. The plastic in the UWELL Whirl T1 can also crack if it is left below freezing temperatures for a period of time.

C) Coil installed incorrectly

The Whirl T1 has a locking mechanism for it’s coils. If this is not used it may be installed incorrectly. Make sure that the coil is pressed all the way in, and the lock is in place for the coil to ensure no leaking.

D) Drawing Too Quickly

If you take very fast, hard draws off just about any vaping device, including the UWELL Whirl T1, your device will be prone to leaking.  Vaping devices use the power of your inhale to pull e-liquid to the heating coils and mix it with the vapour.  If you pull very long and hard on the device it is possible for some e-liquid to be pulled into the airflow chambers.  For all types of vaping, slow long drags are recommended.

E) Device Sitting For Too Long

You should never store any vaping device filled with e-liquid.  Over time the e-liquid will saturate your coil and begin to leak.  If you are not planning on using your device for more than 24 hours be sure to empty all e-liquid.

F) Flying

The increased pressure of flying will make all vaping products leak; even the UWELL Whirl T1.  It is best to empty all vaping devices before flying on a plane.

G) Over Heating

If you leave any vape in a vehicle in the summer or in direct sunlight, it could leak. Overheating the device can cause the e-liquid to expand pushing it out through the coil and out the mouthpiece, causing it to leak. Temperatures raising expand the size of the molecules of the e-liquid, and if your tank is full, to begin with, your e-liquid will have nowhere to go but to leak out of the pod.

H) Freezing

Leaving your device in a vehicle or any area under the freezing temperature could cause it to leak.  This is because some parts are plastic can become brittle and are then susceptible to breaking under freezing temperatures.  The ideal temperature for any vaping device is +10 to +25 degrees Celsius.
