Why Does My Vape Keep Hitting After I Stop?

Sometimes, when you finish using your vape it might still make hissing or crackling sounds. This means it is auto-firing. It is like when an electronic toy keeps making noise even though you have stopped playing with it. But with vapes, it can be a bit more serious because they have a part that heats up close to the battery. If the battery gets too hot it can be dangerous.
Even the best vapes can have this problem if they get broken or used in the wrong way. So, it is very important to fix it quickly before the battery gets too hot. Usually, you can stop a vape from auto-firing. In this guide, we will show you how to fix it and how to make sure it does not happen again. We will also give you tips on what to do if you can not stop your vape from making noise on its own.
How to Fix Your Vape from Keep Hitting After Stop?
When your vape keeps making noise after you stop using it, that means it is auto-firing. Let’s learn how to stop it, depending on what kind of vape you have. There are mainly three types of vapes:
- Disposable vapes: These don’t have buttons to press.
- Pod vapes that are puff-activated: These also don’t have buttons.
- Vapes with buttons: These have buttons to press.
How to Stop a Disposable Vape from Auto-Firing
Some disposable vapes have an on-off switch. If yours does, you can stop the noise by switching it off. But most disposable vapes do not really turn off. They have a sensor that knows when you are using it. If this sensor gets stuck, the vape might keep making noise. To fix it, try blowing firmly through the vape’s mouthpiece.
How to Stop a Pod Vape Without a Button from Auto-Firing
If your pod vape does not have a button, it is like a disposable vape. Blow through the mouthpiece to try and fix the sensor. If that does not work, take the pod out. Without the pod, the vape can not auto-fire and it will just blink until the battery dies.
How to Stop a Vape with a Button from Auto-Firing
Vapes with buttons are easier to handle. To stop auto-firing just press the button five times to turn it off. Easy peasy.
What’s to Do if Vape Auto-Firing Not Stop?

If your vape keeps making noise and you can’t turn it off it can be scary, especially if it is a disposable vape. Most disposable vapes do not have an on-off switch. If blowing through the mouthpiece does not help, you will have to wait for the battery to die. But be careful because the vape might get hot.
If You Can Not Stop a Disposable Vape from Auto-Firing
If your disposable vape will not stop auto-firing, put it somewhere safe like outside in the dirt until the battery dies. You can also place it in a cooking pot, but make sure nothing flammable is nearby. In a few minutes, the battery will actually die. After that, take the vape to a recycling center that accepts batteries.
If You Can Not Stop Another Type of Vape from Auto-Firing
For vapes with removable pods or fire buttons, it is easier. Just remove the pod or turn off the device. If you dropped the vape in water or on a hard surface it might still have problems. In that case, you will need to recycle it.

Avoiding Auto-Firing Issues with Your Vape
Right now, you might have fixed your vape’s auto-firing problem. But to stop it from happening again we need to look at what is causing it and how to fix it.
Make sure your vape is real because It is very important to have a real vape, not a fake one. Fake vapes are everywhere, especially disposable ones. They can be dangerous because they might leak or overheat. To avoid this, always buy from trusted vape shops.
Vapes start auto-firing because e-liquid gets stuck inside so clean your Vape from time to time. If you are using a puff-activated vape, blow through it to clear out the liquid. For pod vapes, take out the pod and dry it with a paper towel. If you are using a 510-thread battery, clean the connections with a cotton swab dipped in alcohol.
Do not puff too hard puffing too hard on a vape can make e-liquid go where it shouldn’t. This can cause your vape to auto-fire. Try to puff gently to avoid leaks and other problems.
If you are using a puff-activated vape, blow through it gently if it starts auto-firing. This can help dislodge any stuck sensors. Also, keep your device clean by drying the pod or cleaning the battery connections with alcohol if you are using a different type of vape.
Final Tips Remember, real vapes are safer and less likely to auto-fire. Always buy from trusted shops and check their authenticity. And keep your device clean and handle it gently to prevent problems.
