Exxus Quick Brief
What You Should Know
A quick rundown of the main points, questions, and guidance you'll find in this guide.
Overview
Even a well cared for vaporizer wears out eventually. Knowing the signs helps you decide whether a good clean and a fresh part will fix things, or whether it is time for a new device.
This guide covers three common signals: a battery that no longer holds a charge, persistent leaking you cannot trace, and a burnt or off taste that cleaning does not solve.
Key Takeaways
- A battery that needs constant recharging often points to a worn cell, so a device with a larger battery like the Exxus 1600 can help.
- Persistent leaking that survives cleaning usually means a worn part or worn seal.
- A burnt, stale, or bland taste can signal that an atomizer or chamber needs replacing.
- Try cleaning and swapping worn parts first, since that often restores performance.
- When cleaning and replacement parts no longer help, a new device is the practical fix.

If you can’t tell when the right time is to purchase a vaporizer, then read closely! When your favorite everyday vape is probably giving you all kinds of unsatisfying struggles, then it’s best to purchase a new device. Here are three main reasons to watch out for if you find yourself having a hard time completing a session:

Your device might be short in battery lifespan
First, you need to think of your vape’s battery capacity. If you have to continuously charge your vape, you might have a shorter battery life. The best solution is to find modern devices that can manage larger batteries.
Tip: You should consider the Exxus 1600 Cartridge Vaporizer with a 1600mAh battery.

Your vape is leaking
Nothing is more obnoxious than your vape leaking juice all over the inside of your pocket! If you have taken your vaporizer apart, examined the interior, and cleaned the parts, but you can’t seem to figure out the source of the leak, then a new replacement is ideal.
Usually, a leaking vape may be caused by an old coil that is in need of a change. You want to avoid vaporizing your oil when it leaks. This can lead to drawing difficulties, which could give a burnt flavor to your hits. A leaking vape is never a great sign as it can be dangerous, so don’t ignore this factor, and make sure to upgrade quickly!

You get a weird taste as you inhale
After a while of ongoing sessions, your vape might taste a bit funky! Your vape might give a burnt, stale, or bland taste, which can mean that you might need to replace its parts.
Tip: Poor maintenance on your device can decrease its performance, so try to clean your device every now and then to deliver the best taste.
From battery lifespan to poor maintenance, there are many hints on when to purchase a new vape! You should always consider investing in vaporizers that are made from high-quality materials and provide you with long-lasting sessions. Make sure to check out vaporizers like the Exxus Ego 900, Twist 1100, and Snap VV at ExxusVape.com.
Frequently Asked Questions
Owners Guide FAQs
Common questions about this guide and how to put the information to work when choosing your device.
How do I know it is time for a new vaporizer?
Watch for three signs: a battery that drains fast no matter how you charge it, leaking that cleaning does not fix, and a burnt or off taste that new parts do not solve.
Why does my vaporizer keep leaking?
Leaking often traces back to a worn part or seal. If you have cleaned and inspected the device and still cannot find the source, replacing the part or the device is the next step.
Why does my vape taste burnt or stale?
A burnt or bland taste usually means an atomizer or chamber is worn out. Cleaning and replacing that part often restores flavor, but a device past its life may need upgrading.
Will a bigger battery help if my vape dies too fast?
If the old battery no longer holds a charge, moving to a device with a larger cell such as the Exxus 1600 can give you longer sessions between charges.
