3 Ways to Keep Your Rosin Vape Unclogged this Winter

Halfway through the grown-up trick-or-treating fun, that vape you brought goes on the fritz and won’t draw. Even worse, you whip out your Elvis-strain vape you know your hippy uncle will love at Thanksgiving, and find it clogged.

Few things are more embarrassing, vibe-killing, or frustrating than a clogged vape cart. And for whatever reason, this problem tends to happen more in the cold weather and affects rosin vapes the worst.

So, what’s up? Why do your vape carts keep getting clogged, and what can you do? We’ve got the skinny on what causes a clogged vape cart in the cold or otherwise and how to get it unclogged in a jiffy.

Why Rosin Vapes Clog in the Cold Weather

Rosin vapes, particularly those with high terpene content, are prone to clogging in colder temperatures because the terpenes and oils can thicken or even solidify, obstructing the airflow and heating mechanism of the vape cartridge.

Not all vape carts are affected by the cold the same. For example, those made with distillate that don’t have high terpene contents are thicker and less vulnerable to cold temperatures, but they can also be far less true to the strain.

Other Reasons for a Clogged Vape Cart

While the cold is definitely a big thing to monitor when it comes to rosin vape carts, carts can clog for various reasons.

If you opt for a high-quality vape (ahem … Inferno carts are known to be some of the best in MA, in case you didn’t know), you’re far less likely to have problems. Nevertheless, here’s a bulleted list of other reasons why a vape cart might clog:

• Temperature Fluctuations: Apart from cold temperatures, extreme heat can also cause some extracts to become too thin or too thick, leading to clogs or leaks.
• Quality of the Oil: Poor quality or improperly processed oil might contain impurities or have inconsistent viscosity, which can lead to clogs.
• Storage Position: Storing the vape cart upright when not in use can cause oil to settle in one spot, potentially leading to clogs or flooding of the coil.
• Airflow Issues: If the airflow is restricted due to design or user modification, it can lead to uneven heating and oil distribution, causing clogs.
• Type of Coil and Wick: The material and design of the coil and wick can affect how oil is vaporized. Poor quality or incompatible materials might not handle the oil’s viscosity well.

How to Keep Your Rosin Vape Unclogged

No doubt, rosin vapes are the cream of the crop for most canna vapers. So switching it out in favor of a vape cart with a different extract can sound preposterous. Thankfully, as long as you’ve got a high-quality vape, a few good habits will keep your rosin vape hitting just fine.

Warm It Up

Think of your vape cart like a sleepy little friend on a chilly morning; it needs a gentle nudge to wake up. Before you hit that Inferno Superboof vape (or pass it over to good ole Uncle Tom), give it a little love by warming it up.

Hold it in your hand for a few minutes, or if you’re in a rush, use a hair dryer on a low setting. This warmth will coax the oils and terpenes into a more liquid state, so you know you’ll get a smooth draw.

Store Properly and Keep Your Vape Cozy

You know how you get a little rickety and stiff if you’re out in the cold a little too long? Your rosin vape cart’s the same.

Store your cartridges at room temperature, or if you’re feeling extra nurturing, slightly above. Avoid leaving them in places like your car where temperatures can drop overnight.

If you’re out and about, trick-or-treating or otherwise—tuck your vape in a pocket close to your skin. Your body heat will keep the rosin flowing. By keeping it at a cozy temperature, you’re preventing the oils from thickening and causing those dreaded clogs.

Clean Regularly

Now and then, your vape can need a good cleaning, especially if you’ve invested in a larger cart or disposable that lasts a while. Grab a dab tool or a thin, clean paperclip for some gentle maintenance.

Clear out any blockages in the mouthpiece or airflow holes. Also, check the threads where the cart screws into the battery. A bit of residue here can be disruptive. Regular cleaning not only keeps your vape running smoothly but also maintains the purity of flavor.
