If the leak is minor and stops after cleaning, you're fine — just keep it upright and avoid temperature swings. If it keeps leaking, or liquid shows up near the charging port, stop using it and recycle it properly. Most parts of a disposable vape can be recycled, but check local guidelines. Never throw it in the trash with a battery.

And if you're buying a new one, consider a model known for solid build quality. Some of our own lineup, like the VERTEX-VISTA or LINQ-SLIM, have fewer leak complaints because of their construction. But no vape is leak-proof — proper care matters more than the brand.
