VOOPOO Vinci Vape Kit Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting your VOOPOO VINCI vape device?

Welcome to the VOOPOO Vinci Troubleshooting guide. If you own the VOOPOO VINCI Pod System this article will assist you to troubleshoot many of your potential problems. Here are some of the most common issues with the VOOPOO VINCI vape kit and ways you can troubleshoot them.

1. Weak or No Vapor Production

Issue: The device produces little or no vapour.

Solutions:

Check Battery Charge: Ensure that your Voopoo Vinci is fully charged. A low battery can lead to weak vapour production. Connect it to a power source and charge it fully.

Inspect the Pod Connection: Ensure the pod is properly seated in the device. Remove the pod, check for any obstructions or debris on the contacts, and reinsert it securely.

Replace the Coil: The coil may be burnt out or damaged. Replace it with a new one if you’ve been using it for a while.

Adjust Wattage Settings: The Vinci allows for adjustable wattage. Ensure the wattage is set correctly for the coil you are using. Refer to the coil’s recommended wattage range for optimal performance.

Check Airflow: Make sure the airflow is not fully closed. Adjust the airflow settings to allow for better vapour production.

2. Harsh or Burnt Taste

Issue: The vapour has a harsh or burnt taste.

Solutions:

Prime the Coil: Before using a new coil, fill the pod with e-liquid and let it sit for a few minutes to ensure the coil is fully saturated. This prevents dry hits and burnt taste.

Lower Wattage: High wattage can cause the e-liquid to burn. Lower the wattage setting to see if the taste improves.

Check E-Liquid Level: Ensure there is enough e-liquid in the pod. Running low on e-liquid can cause dry hits and burnt taste.

Replace the Coil: If the coil is old or damaged, it can cause a burnt taste. Replace it with a new one.

Thick E-Liquid: High VG e-liquids are thicker and may not wick properly, causing a burnt taste. Use e-liquids with a lower VG and higher PG ratio for better flow.

Chain Vaping: Avoid taking multiple drags in quick succession. Wait 15-30 seconds between drags to allow the e-liquid to re-saturate the coil.

3. Leaking E-Liquid

Issue: E-liquid is leaking from the device.

Solutions:

Proper Filling Technique: When filling the pod, avoid overfilling. Leave a small air gap at the top to prevent pressure buildup and leaks.

Check Seals and O-rings: Inspect the pod for any damaged or misaligned seals and O-rings. Replace the pod if necessary to prevent leaks.

Ensure Secure Pod Connection: Make sure the pod is securely connected to the device. A loose connection can cause e-liquid to leak.

Store Upright: When not in use, store your Voopoo Vinci upright to prevent e-liquid from seeping out of the airflow holes.

Incorrectly Installed Coil: Ensure a coil is properly installed. The VOOPOO Vinci uses a ‘push fit’ coil system, so make sure the coil is fully seated in the pod.

Cracked Plastic: If the device was dropped or subjected to physical stress, inspect the pod for cracks. Exposure to freezing temperatures can also cause cracks in the device.

Misaligned or Missing Filling Cap: Ensure the rubber filling cap is properly seated. Misaligning or losing this cap can cause leaks, especially if you lay the device sideways.

Prolonged Storage: Avoid storing the device filled with e-liquid for long periods. If not in use for more than 24 hours, empty the tank to prevent leaks from saturated coils.

Pressure Changes: Changes in pressure, such as during flights or high-altitude travel, can cause leaks. Empty the device before such activities.

Overheating: Avoid leaving the device in hot environments, such as a car in summer. Overheating can cause e-liquid to expand and leak through seals or airflow holes.

Freezing: Avoid leaving the device in freezing temperatures. Cold can make plastic parts brittle and prone to breaking. Store the device between +10 to +25 degrees Celsius.

4. Device Not Turning On

Issue: The device does not turn on.

Solutions:

Charge the Battery: Ensure the battery is charged. Connect the device to a power source and charge it for at least 30 minutes.

Check for Firmware Updates: Visit the Voopoo website to see if there are any firmware updates available for your Vinci. Follow the instructions to update the firmware if needed.

Inspect the Power Button: Ensure the power button is functioning correctly. Press it firmly and check for any signs of damage.

Clean the Contacts: Dirt or residue on the battery contacts can interfere with power transfer. Clean the contacts with a cotton swab and isopropyl alcohol.

5. Poor Flavour Quality

Issue: The vapour lacks flavour or tastes off.

Solutions:

Clean the Pod: Residue buildup can affect flavour quality. Rinse the pod with warm water and let it dry completely before refilling it with e-liquid.

Use Fresh E-Liquid: Ensure you are using fresh e-liquid. Old or expired e-liquids can lose their flavour.

Adjust Wattage Settings: Different e-liquids may perform better at different wattage settings. Experiment with adjusting the wattage to find the best flavour.

Replace the Coil: Over time, coils can degrade and affect flavour. Replace them regularly to maintain good flavour quality.

 6. Gurgling or Spitting

Issue: The device is making gurgling sounds or spitting e-liquid.

Solutions:

Clean the Chimney: Condensation can build up in the chimney. Use a paper towel or Q-tip to clean it out regularly.

Adjust Airflow: Slightly reduce the airflow to prevent too much e-liquid from being pulled into the coil.

Check Coil Placement: Ensure that the coil is seated correctly. Misalignment can cause excess e-liquid to enter the coil, leading to gurgling and spitting.

7. Auto-Firing or Not Firing

Issue: The device fires automatically or does not fire when you press the button.

Solutions:

Check for Stuck Button: Ensure the power button is not stuck. Press it several times to make sure it moves freely.

Clean the Device: Dirt or debris can cause the button to stick or malfunction. Clean the device thoroughly.

Replace the Pod or Coil: Sometimes a faulty pod or coil can cause firing issues. Replace with a new pod or coil to see if the problem resolves.
