Troubleshooting Your Voopoo Drag Max Vape Kit: What To Know

If you have a Voopoo Drag Max kit, you probably already know everything there is to know about troubleshooting your device. But, if you’re not familiar with some of the common issues that you might face with your vape device, you won’t really know where to start when it comes to troubleshooting. Whether you’re a beginner or an advanced vaper in the UK, it would help you to read this article so you can understand how to fix a couple of common issues that you might happen to face. In all honesty, the Voopoo Drag Max is built in such a way that you aren’t very likely to face any issues, but on the off chance that you do, it’s better to know how to deal with it and why it’s happening before you decide that the device is unsalvageable.

What Is Voopoo Drag Max?

Before getting into the troubleshooting aspects, if you’re unfamiliar with Voopoo vape in the UK, we’ll tell you what it is. Voopoo is an amazing vape product brand that sells pretty much anything vape-related that you may need, including coils, pod kits and mods, vape kits, and e-liquids.

The Voopoo Drag Max is one of their most popular dual-battery mod kits which has a gorgeous sleek design, where metal meets leather in luxury. It’s designed in such a way that it’s ideal for both beginners and advanced vapers to give you the best experience of vape in the UK.

Though it’s designed with safety and user-friendliness in mind to not have any issues, pretty much any vape device can be susceptible to a couple of issues that are very easy to deal with once you identify them. These issues are your vape kit not firing when you press the button and your kit leaking. If you want to know why these happen and how you can fix them, continue reading!

1. Why Is My Voopoo Drag Max Not Firing When I Press The Button?

This is possibly one of the most common issues users face with their vape in the UK. It also happens to be one of the easiest problems to solve too.
Your Voopoo Drag Max is probably not firing when you press the button because of the most common reason; because it is locked. It sounds very simple and straightforward, but it’s very very easy to forget that your device has an option to lock and unlock when you press the fire button five times quickly. If you just got the Voopoo Drag Max and it’s not firing, it’s because the device comes packed in a locked position to avoid it from turning on during shipping by accident. If your device is not firing when you press the button, just click it five times quickly and your device should be unlocked in an instant. The LED screen will light up with the voopoo symbol to confirm that it’s unlocked.

Another very common reason your Voopoo Drag Max isn’t firing when you press the button is the fact that your battery may be dead. All you have to do in this situation is plug it in using a C-type charger and wait for at least an hour for it to charge before you try using it again.

If both of these troubleshooting solutions don’t work, you may have a bigger problem on your hands, so you’ll most likely have to take your device to the nearest vape shop to get it checked out. This is a very unlikely outcome, though, and your issue should go away with the above solutions.

2. My Voopoo Drag Max is leaking!

Another extremely common problem vapers face is their device leaking. Now, the Voopoo Drag Max is actually built in such a way that it’s unlikely to leak because of the design of the coil and tank. That isn’t to say it won’t happen. It’s very unlikely, but in the off chance that it does, you should know why it’s happening and how you can stop it.

• You’ve Overfilled The Tank:

  This is a common reason that devices tend to leak. If you overfill your tank, there’s no space for the excess e-liquid and so it leaks out of your device. Make sure you never fill your tank beyond its max capacity because it’ll leak out of the top when your coil is being replaced, and you run the risk of permanently damaging your device. Whenever you’re in doubt, just fill the tank to 90% of its capacity instead of a full 100%.

• Your Pod’s Plastic Is Cracked:

  If your device is leaking but you’re unable to see any external reasons, chances are you may have accidentally dropped your device and the plastic pod broke. You may not even have dropped it and it might have just been bumped around a lot in your bag or your pocket. Even when the crack isn’t clearly visible, if the leak comes out from near the top, it’s highly likely that it’s happening because of a cracked pod. This can also happen when the device is left below-freezing temperatures for a large amount of time.

• You May Have Installed Your Coil Improperly:

  This device in particular has a very unique coil system that is very easy to push into the pod. All you have to do is insert the coil until it’s tightly secured in the pod. If you don’t do this right, then your coil won’t sit snug in your device and this will lead to leaking.

• You Left Your Device Alone Too Long:

  This might sound funny like your device is a pet in constant need of attention. Let us clarify; this basically means that you left your device sitting too long while it still had e-liquid in it. You must never store any vape kit with e-liquid still inside for long periods of time because this will inevitably saturate your coil and lead to leaks. If you don’t plan on using your device for over 24 hours, just empty out the liquid before you store it away.

• Pressure From Flying:

  Flying can be stressful for pretty much anyone, and this includes your device as well. The increase in pressure that comes from flying can lead to leaks in pretty much any vape kit, even if they’re as meticulously designed as the Voopoo Drag X. Always make sure to empty your device of e-liquid before flying to avoid leaks.

• Your Device Is Overheated:

  Overheating is common if you tend to leave your device out in the sun for too long. Especially when it’s left in direct sunlight. This overheating can lead to the expansion of your e-liquid, which then makes it push out through the coil and the mouthpiece. When the temperature of the e-liquid is raised, its molecules expand, and if your tank is pretty much full already, you run an even higher risk of your device leaking. It’s simple physics!

• You Gave Your Device The Cold Shoulder:

  If you leave your device in a car or any other area that has temperatures below freezing, your device will inevitably begin to leak. This happens since the plastic parts can turn brittle and crack or break because of the temperature. To ensure the safety of your device, remember that the ideal temperature for all vape kits is +10 to +25 °C.

These are the main reasons your device might be leaking, and they’re all an easy fix. If your issue doesn’t match up to one of these reasons, please take your device to a vape shop near you and get it checked out!
