Easy to follow tips and solutions for the most common e cigarette battery and atomiser problems.

This could be caused by excess e liquid seeping down into the battery and onto the battery pressure switch causing it to stick. Try the following to see if it releases the pressure and resolves the problem.

1. Remove the battery from the atomiser and then blow into the atomiser end of the battery until the LED light comes on. The action should feel similar to that used for blowing up a balloon. Repeat 3 or 4 times.
   
   
2. If this doesn't work, repeat the blowing and sucking process on the LED end of the battery. 

This is quite a common problem and is usually caused by a flooded e cigarette atomiser or low powered battery. If you are sure your e cigarette battery still has plenty of charge, try this method for clearing a flooded atomiser.

1. Separate the e cigarette atomiser from the cartridge and battery.
   
   
2. Hold a piece of kitchen roll or tissue lightly over the battery end of the atomiser.
   
   
3. Blow into the cartridge end of the atomiser as though you are blowing up a balloon. Any excess e liquid will be blown out of the atomiser and onto the tissue paper.
   
   
4. Repeat the action until there is no more e liquid appearing on the tissue. This should solve the problem.

When you're topping up or refilling cartridges, be very careful not to overfill them because apart from e liquid in the mouth, excess e liquid can kill your e-cigarette battery too.

If it's not something as simple as your e cigarette battery needing to be charged, loss of vapour may be the result of a bad contact between the battery and atomiser. The threads on an e cigarette battery and atomiser are electrical contacts which need to be kept clean in order to work.

1. Clean the thread of your electronic cigarette battery (the brass screw that screws into an atomiser) by wrapping a wad of paper towel around the thread and twisting it back and forth. The action is rather like drying a glass with a tea towel.
   
   
2. You can use your fingernail to get right into the grooves and ensure the contact is as clean as possible.
   
   
3. Use the same method for ensuring the atomiser contact threads are clean too, then screw your e cigarette back together.
   
   
4. Ensuring your battery has plenty of charge, try your e cig again to see if cleaning the threads has helped.
