Vape Not Charging Guide UK

Learn why your vape is not charging, how to check cables, charging ports and batteries, and when to replace a device or accessory.

Why Is My Vape Not Charging?

If your vape is not charging, the cause could be a damaged cable, dirty charging port, unsuitable plug, worn battery, faulty device, or moisture around the charging connection. Start with simple checks before replacing the device.

Use the charger or cable recommended by the manufacturer, keep charging ports clean and dry, and stop using any device or battery that becomes unusually hot, swollen or damaged.

Charging Checks to Try First

Try a different compatible charging cable, check the wall plug or USB port, gently remove dust from the charging connection, and make sure the device is dry. Do not force a cable into the port if it feels loose or damaged.

If your vape still will not charge after basic checks, the battery or device may need replacing. Do not attempt to open or repair a lithium-ion battery yourself.
