Vape air pockets occur when air bubbles get trapped in the coil or wick, leading to dry, harsh hits. These bubbles prevent e-liquid from saturating the wick properly. Fix them immediately for smooth, consistent vapor production.
3 Easy Ways to Fix Vape Air Pockets
- Tap and Tilt Method
- Prime the Coil Technique
- Adjust Wattage and Airflow
Gently tap the side of your device to dislodge trapped air. Then, tilt it at a 45-degree angle for 10-15 seconds to encourage e-liquid flow into the wick. Repeat if needed to eliminate bubbles.

Hold the device upright and take 5-6 soft puffs without firing it. This creates a vacuum that pulls liquid into the wick and pushes air out, ensuring optimal saturation before vaping.
Reduce your wattage by 5-10W or close the airflow ring slightly to allow slower wicking. This gives e-liquid more time to penetrate the coil, preventing air pocket formation during use.
Combine these methods for quick, effective results, and always check your e-liquid levels and coil condition to avoid recurring issues.
