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:

  1. Too much liquid around the coil
    This can happen if the pod floods

  2. Puffing too softly
    Not enough heat builds up to vapourise the liquid

  3. Chain vaping 
    The coil can’t keep up and starts flooding

  4. Low wattage or weak battery
    Not enough power for the coil

 

Why Your Vape Might Be Leaking

  1. Pod not fitted properly 
    Always click it in firmly

  2. Damaged seals 
    Small rubber seals keep liquid in place; if they’re worn, it leaks

  3. Overfilling 
    With refillable pods, filling past the max line causes spills

  4. 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

 

Final Thoughts

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.
