If your vape is firing on its own, it can be both nerve-wracking and dangerous. It's crucial to understand the signs, possible causes, and how to address this issue to ensure your safety and enjoy your vaping experience.

Auto firing occurs when a vape device activates without the user pressing the fire or power button. This often happens when the device is stored in a pocket, purse, or drawer, out of reach of accidental button presses.

Auto firing is dangerous because it causes the vape to generate heat uncontrollably. A vape device can become very hot, potentially causing a fire or injury if it continues to auto fire. The battery could vent until it explodes, leading to serious accidents. This is why it’s crucial to address an auto firing vape immediately.

If you feel comfortable troubleshooting, you can try to identify the cause of the auto firing and attempt some repairs. Here are a few steps you can take:

• Ensure Safety First: If you’re new to vaping or uncomfortable with repairs, contact a professional. The VaporFi support team can guide you through troubleshooting or recommend next steps. This is particularly important as a battery-powered device running an electrical current can be dangerous.
• Remove the Batteries and Tank: To prevent further issues, remove the batteries and tank. This interrupts the electrical circuit and stops the auto firing. Never leave a fully assembled auto-firing device unattended.
• Replace the Batteries: Sometimes, a faulty battery can cause auto firing. Try using new batteries to see if this resolves the problem. Faulty batteries are a common cause of continuous firing issues in vape devices.
• Check for Damage: Look for signs of burnout on the chip and switch. If you see damage, replace these parts. Be aware that disassembling your device might void its warranty. A damaged chip or switch often leads to auto firing, so inspecting these components is crucial.
• Clean the Device: Regularly clean your vape device to prevent auto firing. Liquid leaks and excess e-liquid can cause electrical issues, leading to auto firing. Ensuring your device is clean can prevent many common issues.

Even if you fix the issue, always remove and store the batteries when the device is not in use. This precaution can prevent a repeat of the auto firing. If your vape keeps hitting on its own or makes noise on its own, it’s better to take it seriously and ensure all potential risks are mitigated.
