A clogged expensive vape pen will immediately stop filling the vaping fun and can be a real buzz killer, from adding stress to possibly having to get your hands dirty.
Below, we'll discuss everything you need to know about why e-cigarette pens get clogged. From temperature fluctuations to how to open a shopping cart, we'll provide all the necessary details to ensure your expensive vape pen avoids the dreaded clog.
The main design defect of traditional cartridge
First, you need to understand the internal design flaws that cause many traditional expensive vape pens to clog easily.
Below, we will briefly discuss the key attributes that often serve as the main bottleneck for traditional vape pens. By familiarizing yourself with this problem point, you'll be better able to ensure that your expensive vape pen maintains a steady stream of delicious vapor.
The internal processing of ammunition
When you hear about or encounter a clogged e-cigarette pen, it's usually blamed on the design of the coil shoulder and the quality of the cartridge assembly.
Originally, cartridges were mostly made of metal coils and cotton cores. When the battery is turned on, heat is transferred to the coil. The coil is a component that directly retains and distributes heat to the core that is in direct contact with the oil.
However, due to the viscosity of most oil-based products, the oil vaporization industry is lucky to get rid of outdated cotton cores and coil designs. CCELL was the first company to perfect ceramic heating technology in evaporators, and it still leads the industry today.
Although the cotton core design of modern e-cigarette pens is not common, clogged e-cigarette pens are still relatively common due to the quality of most modern atomizers and heating elements.
Why do expensive vape Pens get clogged?
Next, let's discuss the various reasons for the blockage of electronic cigarette pens.
Below, you'll find some specific conditions that increase the chances of a vape pen getting clogged.
The type and source of the oil are important
Isolation-based products and active resins/rosin appear to clog many carts more often than distillates due to the uneven particle distribution and base viscosity, as well as the potential for recrystallization of the compounds.
Of course, CCELL cartridges come in different forms with specific functions that perfectly handle every type of oil around them.
In addition, you must ensure that you buy from companies that use quality oil and always avoid black market sources.
Oil viscosity and temperature fluctuations
One of the most fundamental reasons for the blockage of e-cigarette pens is the interaction between internal and external temperature and oil.
In warm conditions, the oil in the cartridge will become fluid. Alternatively, low temperatures can thicken the oil inside the cartridge.
Each of these extreme temperatures causes a sudden blockage of the airflow in the expensive vape pen.
How does cold oil affect airflow?
If you're outside during a cold snap, or if you leave your expensive vape pen in a cold place, the oil in the cartridge may be sticky, or "thicker."
In other words, the high-viscosity oil becomes more difficult to evaporate, thus challenging the heating element of the e-cigarette pen and increasing the chance of blockage.
The cold also limits the movement of the viscous oil, potentially preventing it from entering the "inlet hole that allows the heating element to suck in the oil."
How does hot oil affect airflow?
On the other hand, an e-cigarette pen left in a hot car or pocket during a heat wave can cause the oil to become less viscous, or "thinner."
The less viscous oil moves quickly in the cartridge and even has the potential to spill into different levels of the expensive vape pen. As a result, the hot oil may block critical airflow points and provide less-than-ideal conditions for evaporation.
While it is recommended to always keep the expensive vape pen in a cool, dry place, we know that this is not always possible.
