Anyone who vapes is familiar with the sensation that
occurs during an accidental dry hit. A
dry hit is essentially a hit that doesn’t have adequate moisture to it, and so
it burns the throat rather than being a smooth stream of vapor. It also has a burnt taste to it, as well as a
burnt smell. Needless to say, dry hits
are anything but pleasant.
But, that’s not to say that they’re uncommon. Unfortunately, pretty much every vaper will
experience a dry hit from time to time.
This is the case whether a person is vaping a standard e-liquid or a wax
or herbal oil in a vaporizer.
However, there are definite causes behind dry hits, and
simple ways to prevent them from occurring.
What Causes Dry Hits?
Dry hits have many causes. Below are the most common
culprits.
Not Enough Moisture
A dry hit can occur from a lack of moisture, as in,
not enough oil to saturate the heating element of your device. If you’re not staying on top of your oil
levels, you may not have enough in your cartridge or tank to actually produce a
hit.
A Dead Coil
Many devices require that you change the coil, or
heating element, regularly. That’s
because many of them contain natural fiber wicks that eventually burn out after
regular use. A dead coil or heating
element can cause dry hits because it can no longer properly vaporize the oil.
Too High of an Output Setting
If your output level is set too high, it can burn the
oil, which will result in a dry hit.
Poor Quality
If you’re using low-quality products, such as cheap
oils or unreliable equipment, you may have more dry hits than usual.
How to Avoid Dry Hits When Vaping Oil
Now, let’s talk about the simple solutions to dry
hits.
Always Stay on Top of Your Levels
Always make sure that you have enough oil in your tank
or cartridge to fully saturate the heating element of your vaporizer. Never allow the oil to get below the half
mark.
Make Sure Your Coil and Output Level are
Compatible
Also, make sure that your output level is compatible
with the heating element that you’re using.
Using an incompatible output level and coil can cause your oil to burn
rather than vaporize, which will result in a dry hit. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions
when it comes to setting up your vaporizer system.
Only Purchase High-Quality Goods
We never recommend buying cheap oils or hardware
products that are low in quality in an effort to save money. This can give you constant dry hits due to
the inability to vaporize the oil properly.
It can also cause a host of other problems that can ruin your herbal
experience.
Change Your Coils as Needed
Lastly, always stay on top of your coils, if you use a
device that utilizes disposable coils.
Once your oil no longer tastes fresh and fails to produce an adequate
level of vapor, it’s time to change out that coil for a new one. Only use coils that are designed to be
compatible with the vaping system that you’re using.
