Why is my e-cig battery flashing?

Q: Why am I experiencing low vapor production?

***Drained battery******This is the most common reason why your electronic cigarette is producing low vapor volume. Replace it with a fully charged battery. ***Check the intake hole*** If you’ve tried using a fully charged battery and vapor production is still low, ensure you’ve removed the pull tab (the small sticker) from the blu Tank™. This problem also occurs if your fingers are blocking the intake hole, so be mindful of how you hold your e-cig! ***Device needs to be cleaned*** Over time, residue can build up in the threads of your e-cig battery, which can impact the performance and vapor production of your e-cig. If you’ve tried the previous tips but still don’t have good vapor production, try cleaning the battery threads next. To do this, you will need cotton swabs and the battery itself. 1. Take one end of the cotton swab and rub it over the battery threads in a circular motion. If the threads are dirty, you will see the residue on the cotton swab.***2. Blow on the battery threads to make sure any extra residue is removed.***3. Screw the clean battery into a blu Tank™ and take a drag on your e-cig. ***Faulty blu Tank™*** Finally, if you’ve tried the tips above and you still can’t get good vapor production, you may have a faulty blu Tank™. Replace it with a new one.***

Q: Why is my electronic cigarette hot?

If you use your electronic cigarette too much in a short period of time, it can become hot. If you notice this, stop using the e-cig for five minutes to allow it to cool.

If your battery flashes 15 times, it means your e-cig is being over-used and that you should take a break.

If your battery flashes 30 times, it needs to be recharged.
