Are you asking yourself, “Why is my vape blinking?” With modern vaporizers, there can be several reasons for blinking lights, and VaporFi is here to help you decode these often ambiguous signals. Many vaporizer manufacturers use OLED indicators to send various alerts to the user. Your vape pen flashing white light, blinking blue or green, or flashing red is meant to catch your attention and signal a potential issue. While we recommend first reading your e-cigarette owner’s manual, this quick guide explains some common reasons for these alerts so you can get back to enjoying your vape device safely and securely.

Sometimes, the battery connection in your vape isn’t sufficient due to a loose battery. If the vape battery is not screwed in correctly, it won’t charge fully, and the indicator light will continue to blink. This could appear as the vape pen blinking white or another color.

Solution:

• Unscrew the battery and re-screw it to ensure a firm connection.
• Clean the connection points with a cotton swab to remove any grime or e-juice buildup.
• Clean your tank to ensure no lint is interfering with the device’s function.

A common and easily resolvable issue is a stuck activation button. If your vape pen flashes white 3 times or shows another signal, it might be because the power button is slightly pushed in.

Solution:

• Clean the area around the button with a wipe or cotton swab.
• If the light turns off, you’ve resolved the issue!

Another possible cause of vape blinking is incompatible components. For example, if you install a replacement coil with too-low resistance, your device might alert you.

Solution:

• Switch out the mismatched part for a compatible one.
• Consider upgrading to a sub-ohm device if using low-resistance coils.

Most devices are equipped with safety features that cause a blinking display light. If your vape pen blinks 20 times when plugged in, use your manual’s troubleshooting guide to pinpoint the specific issue.

Solution:

• Don’t ignore blinking lights; safety features are crucial.
• Refer to your manual to understand the specific alert and follow the recommended steps.

If the battery charge, poor connection, mismatched components, safety feature activation, or a stuck activation button is not the issue, you may need to investigate further. Never ignore a blinking indicator light, as it could indicate a serious problem. Stop vaping immediately and check your device for any issues.
