How to Stop Vape Juice from Getting in Your Mouth

Nothing ruins a vape session faster than getting a mouthful of e-liquid. If you’ve ever taken a hit and ended up with a weird, sweet, sometimes spicy liquid on your tongue, you’ve experienced what vapers call “spitback.” At K Town Vape in Kennesaw, we hear this complaint a lot — and luckily, it’s easy to fix.

What Causes Vape Juice to End Up in Your Mouth?

1. Oversaturated Coil
Too much e-liquid in the coil can cause the juice to pop and spit when heated. This often happens if you overprime a coil or overfill the tank. Those tiny pops send droplets straight into your mouth.

2. Drawing Too Hard or Too Fast
Pulling too aggressively on your vape can flood the coil and send unvaporized juice through the mouthpiece. Take slow, steady draws instead of quick, sharp inhales.

3. Low Wattage Settings
If your wattage is too low, the coil won’t heat the juice fast enough to vaporize it fully. That leaves room for spitback or liquid bubbling up the chimney.

4. Poor Coil Design or Faulty Coil
Not all coils are created equal. Some designs are more prone to spitback, especially if they’re worn out or defective. Make sure your coil is in good condition and properly installed.

5. Condensation Buildup
Vapor naturally condenses in the mouthpiece over time. If left uncleaned, this can drip back down or get pulled up when you inhale.

How to Stop Vape Juice from Getting in Your Mouth

• Don’t overprime or overfill your tank – Follow the fill line and let new coils sit just long enough.

• Use the correct wattage for your coil – Stay within the recommended range for even heating.

• Take slower draws – This helps the coil work properly without flooding.

• Check for leaks or cracks – A damaged tank can lead to flooding and spitback.

• Clean your mouthpiece and chimney regularly – Use a paper towel or Q-tip to wipe out excess juice and condensation.

• Tilt your vape slightly while hitting – This helps control airflow and reduce bubbling.
