Here are four fixes you can try to fix your dab pen battery charger when the dab pen is not charging.
You might need to adjust the connection plate inside the 510 thread if your Dab pen battery won’t charge or fire with a cartridge screwed in.
No matter what type of batteries you have for your dab pen, charging is still essential for it to work. Here, we’ll explain how to fix a Dab pen that won’t charge so that it can start functioning once more. Let’s get started!
How to Fix a Dab Pen Battery Charger?
Now that we know the parts of a Dab pen, let’s get it charging again. Here are a few potential solutions you can test.
Unblock the Airflow
The most frequent cause of a Dab pen not functioning is an obstruction in the airflow, not a lack of charge. Users who wait too long between cleanups cause this to occur. You always leave a tiny bit of substance behind when you vaporize oils and waxy concentrates. Using multiple cartridges with the same mouthpiece increases the likelihood of this material building up quickly.
- How to fix it:
See if there is any debris inside your mouthpiece. If there is any, remove the mouthpiece from the vaporizer. A toothpick or a small cotton swab dipped in isopropyl alcohol can then be used to attempt to remove it. Reattaching your mouthpiece to your vaporizer and attempting to take a hit are both options after cleaning it.
Fix the Battery Connection
The battery might not be connecting if your Dab pen simply won’t turn on. This can be due to multiple reasons. When using a Dab tank or cartridge, the cartridge itself could be broken and not connect. Some pods may get dirty, or the Dab may have some other debris preventing the battery from connecting.
- How to fix it:
If you’re using a cartridge, try switching it. If the Dab pen works with other cartridges, the issue may be just with the one cartridge, not your Dab pen.
If the issue persists or you’re using a pod, make sure the battery’s round centerpiece is perfectly aligned with the round centerpiece of your pod or cartridge. Do you see the beginnings of a thief? When that happens, use a toothpick to very gently push the coil back into place. Ensure the connection isn’t being hampered by any debris by wiping it off. Then, attempt smoking a joint or activating your Dab pen.
Replace the Battery
Last but not least, a bad battery in your Dab pen could be the cause of it not charging. It could have fallen, gotten wet, or simply worn out. So you should know the lifespan of the dab pen battery. It’s unfortunate that replacing your Dab pen’s battery may not be an option since it’s typically its main component.
This tends to be the case with cheap Dab pens without any warranty since the batteries in those tend to die after just a few months of use. Although it can be a hassle, you can get your battery fixed when you buy a high-end Dab pen because they typically come with a warranty.
- How to fix it:
Look for your warranty card. A minimum two-year warranty is offered on batteries by the majority of reputable Dab pen manufacturers. If you have the warranty card, you can easily fill it out and proceed with the replacement process.
You might need to purchase a new Dab pen battery if your battery is no longer covered by warranty or if you don’t have a warranty card.
Dirty Connection
Charger problems will result from anything that can disrupt the link. Your atomizer might have been overloaded, have a leaky chamber, or something may have gotten inside the battery connection. See How To Charge A Dab Pen Without A Proper Charger?
- How to fix it:
You can remove the filthy goo that’s causing the connection issue by wiping your hands on a dry paper towel. Use isopropyl alcohol or a cleaning solution sparingly if the dirt is too difficult to remove.
To keep any liquid from entering the battery, almost completely ring the paper towel out. Only do this if you are unable to remove the dirt from the battery. Invert the battery upside down to help prevent the alcohol from dripping inside the unit.
Here are some tips on maintaining your dab pen battery:
Components of a Dab Pen
Here’s a quick look at what’s inside your Dab pen:
- Battery: Your Dab pen probably comes with a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, though some operate on replaceable batteries. The battery generates the energy to heat up your atomizer.
- Charging port: Simple plug-in port, typically a micro-USB or USB C, though there are some proprietary options as well.
- Atomizer: The small heating element that heats up your juice or chamber into airborne droplets to inhale.
- Sensors and buttons: Depending on the Dab pen, it may have buttons to adjust the vaping session, sensors to heat up when detecting a draw, or a combination of both.
Dab pens are simpler than they seem, with only four main components. If you focus on figuring out which one isn’t working, you’ll get your Dab pen to charge again.
