FAQ: ePen and ePod e-cigarettes and e-liquid caps | Vuse

When the red light comes on, this may be a low battery warning. If the red light stays on after you charge your ePen, wait 10 seconds, and then turn it off and on again, please contact Vuse Care Customer Service.

If you observe the red LED flashing this could be indicating a warning such as low battery. If the red LED carries on flashing after waiting for ten seconds and switching back on and/or charging your Vuse ePen, please consult the Vuse Customer Care line.

If the LED indicator flashes five times quickly and shuts down, this is to signal that your Vuse ePen is producing dry puffs, typical when the Cap has run out of liquid and should be replaced with a new Vuse ePen Cap before switching on and vaping.

If the LED indicator flashes eight times quickly and shuts down, this is a safety feature to limit the longest draw (vape) to 8 seconds, after which it shuts down. Switch it on with three rapid clicks of the button.

If left inactive (no button press) for 10 minutes the LED will flash ten times and shut down to preserve battery life. To turn your Vuse ePen back on, click three times rapidly on the button.

You get the Vuse ePen partially loaded. Before you will use it for the first time, we recommend to fully charge the ePen  (about 2 hours).

During use, small droplets may leak out of the Vuse ePen caps. In case of that, simply remove the liquid with a damp cloth and continue to use your ePen as usual. Below you will find the reasons why liquid drops may escape.

And this is what you can do against it:

Do not put hard objects in your ePen or in the caps - especially not in the two holes. This can damage or even destroy the device. If the problem persists after removing the fluid, contact our Vuse Care customer service.

Reasons for leaking:

Too strong taking a drag on a cap. The use of an already used cap which has been stored outside the packaging for more than one day. Blow back the vape through the mouthpiece.

Suggested solutions:

Try to steam gently. Sometimes it can happen that the first few moves liquid, but then no longer. Try to exhale the steam in a different direction (away from the mouthpiece).
