💧 Why Is My Vape Spitting or Leaking? Common Fixes
What Does “Spitting” Mean in Vaping?
Spitting happens when hot e-liquid pops or spits into your mouth while you vape.
It’s not dangerous, but it’s annoying and can taste unpleasant.
Leaking is when e-liquid drips or seeps out of your pod or tank — usually into your pocket, bag, or hands.
Both are common problems, but they’re easy to fix.
Why Your Vape Might Be Spitting
Here are the most common causes:
-
Too much liquid around the coil
This can happen if the pod floods -
Puffing too softly
Not enough heat builds up to vapourise the liquid -
Chain vaping
The coil can’t keep up and starts flooding -
Low wattage or weak battery
Not enough power for the coil
Why Your Vape Might Be Leaking
-
Pod not fitted properly
Always click it in firmly -
Damaged seals
Small rubber seals keep liquid in place; if they’re worn, it leaks -
Overfilling
With refillable pods, filling past the max line causes spills -
Extreme temperatures
Heat can thin e-liquid, cold can thicken it, both causing leaks
How to Fix Spitting
-
Take longer, steady puffs rather than tiny sips
-
Make sure your battery is charged before vaping
-
Avoid leaving your pod unused for days (it can flood)
-
Give your vape a quick shake downwards to clear excess liquid before use
How to Fix Leaking
-
Check the pod is fully clicked into the device
-
Keep your vape upright when not in use
-
Don’t leave it in direct sunlight or in a hot car
-
For refillable pods, never fill past the max mark
-
Replace damaged pods — worn seals can’t be fixed
Real-World Example
If you’re using a prefilled pod kit like the Hayati Pro Max Plus 6000 or Angel 20k, spitting is rare but can happen if the pod has been stored sideways for too long.
A quick shake and a few firm puffs usually clears it.
For refillable kits, like the Vaporesso Eco Nano, always follow the fill line and keep it upright — that alone solves 80% of leaks.
How to Prevent These Problems in the Future
-
Store your vape properly
-
Keep the battery topped up
-
Don’t leave pods in extreme heat or cold
-
Choose quality pods from trusted UK vape shops

Spitting and leaking are normal vape issues, but they’re easy to stop once you know why they happen.
A little care with storage, charging, and puff style goes a long way.
