Let's say you're at a barbecue and your vape starts to taste burnt. Don't panic. First, stop using it. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes in a cool place. Sometimes that's enough to let the coil re-saturate. If the draw feels tight, it might be a vacuum lock from temperature changes. Try gently tapping the device to dislodge any air bubbles.

Leaks are another common summer issue. If you notice e-liquid around the mouthpiece, wipe it off and store the device upright. If it's leaking a lot, it might be that the device has been overheated for too long. At that point, it's probably not worth saving—the coil could be damaged.

Remember, if a device is leaking or behaving erratically, don't try to charge it if it's liquid-compromised. That's a safety hazard.
