Vaping is meant to be a smooth and enjoyable experience—but every vaper runs into technical issues from time to time. At K Town Vapor, we help customers troubleshoot common vape problems daily, and in 2025, there are more solutions (and smarter products) than ever. Whether your vape is leaking, tastes burnt, or just isn’t hitting like it used to, this guide will walk you through how to fix it—and which products we recommend to get you back on track.
One of the most frequent complaints we hear is vape tank leaking. This usually happens when the tank is overfilled, the coil is worn out, or seals are damaged. Start by checking the o-rings and making sure the coil is tightened properly. Never overfill your tank—leave a small air gap to avoid pressure buildup. At K Town Vapor, we carry reliable tanks like the Smok TFV18 and replacement o-ring kits to help fix leaking issues fast. If you're using a pod system, like the Uwell Caliburn, make sure the pod clicks fully into place and isn’t cracked or warped.
Another major issue is the dreaded burnt taste. This often means the coil is either overused or wasn’t primed correctly. A quick fix? Replace the coil and let the new one soak for 5–10 minutes before vaping. For a longer-term solution, always keep your tank at least 1/3 full to avoid dry hits, and try coils built for longevity, like the Voopoo PnP mesh coils we carry in-store. Also, vaping at too high a wattage can scorch the coil—if you’re unsure what wattage is best for your device, stop by K Town and we’ll help you set it right.
Low vapor production or weak flavor is another common frustration. This could mean your battery is underpowered, your coil is gunked up, or your e-liquid is expired. Cleaning your tank regularly with warm water, replacing your coil, or switching to a higher-VG juice can help. We also recommend using fresh batteries or USB-C rechargeable devices like the Freemax Maxus Solo, which delivers consistent power and better cloud production.
If you're looking for visual guidance, we’ve also created a video tutorial embedded below showing how to fix leaks, prime a coil properly, and avoid dry hits. You’ll find step-by-step walkthroughs using real devices we sell at K Town Vapor—perfect for beginners or anyone wanting a quick refresher.
Vape issues can be frustrating, but they’re rarely permanent. With the right products and a little know-how, you can solve most problems quickly and get back to enjoying your favorite e-liquid. Whether you're troubleshooting a disposable or rebuilding a mod, our staff in Kennesaw is ready to help you diagnose and fix the issue.
