Remember, there are no silly questions!
Turning your Pod On/Off
Most Pods operate without a button, these dont need to be turned off. Pods that have buttons can usually be turned off by pressing the fire button rapidly either 3 or 5 times. Each device is different though, If you dont know how it turns on or off, consult your user manual or give us a call.
Priming New Replacement Pods
When using a new Pod you need to "prime" it. To prime a Pod, fill the reservoir and let the Pod sit for 5 minutes. Always prime your Pods before using them for the first time, this will saturate the cotton inside the Pod and ensure a consistent puff.
Replacing Pods
Your replacement Pod has a finite lifespan. This depends on several factors, but generally we would expect a fresh pod to last somewhere in the range of 3 days to 2 weeks. This changes widely from user to user, if you are using your Pod frequently, you should expect less overall life than someone who uses their Pod occasionally.
Keeping your Pod topped up with eliquid when vaping will improve your replacement Pod lifespan, and ensuring you turn your device off before you put it in a pocket or bag will safeguard you against accidental misfires.
Its also important to make sure you only store your Pod in clean environments, as things like pocket lint or dust may get inside, and can cause your Pods to taste burnt quicker
Filling
To fill a Pod, invert it and remove the silicone plug from the bottom. Fill your eliquid into the reservoir, but dont overfill it as this can cause your Pod to leak.
If you do overfill your Pod, wipe it down with a paper towel or damp rag.
If you accidentally spill nicotine containing eliquid on your skin, wash it off with cold soapy water. Nicotine can absorb through your skin and make you feel sick, so its also important to wipe down surfaces that have eliquid on them, especially if you have pets or chlidren.
Charging your Internal Battery
If your device has an internal battery, charge it with the micro USB to USB cable provided. We recommend avoiding charging any vape on a cellphone charger, as some cellphone chargers are designed in a way that my damage your battery. To keep your battery healthy, we would also recommend avoiding charging your battery for long periods of time after it has fully charged. (a USB cable is not a charger, it is just the cable you plug into a wall adapter or regulated device).
Vaping Troubleshooting
