How Do You Use a Push Button Vape Pen?

As the number of people vaping continues to grow, many are choosing push-button vape pens. These devices are popular because they are easy to use and offer customizable features. If you're new to using a push-button vape pen, it's helpful to understand how it works and how to use it.

In this guide, we will provide detailed instructions on how to use a push-button vape pen like RELX's. We will explain its mechanics and provide a step-by-step process for using it, suitable for both beginners and experienced vapers. This guide will help you make the most of your push-button vape pen.

What sets these vapes apart is that single button that when pressed, allows the liquid to heat up and turn into vapor. Pressing this button as the vaper gets ready to inhale turns on the atomizer coil that is responsible for bringing the liquid to a boil and converting it into inhalable vapor.

 Therefore, this button is what characterizes this device, alongside the other parts found in the rest of other devices, from the batteries to the sensors. Furthermore, these devices also differ from the draw-activated ones that practically do not have buttons to press for working on the vapor. 

Most push-button vape pens have indicator lights that tell you what's happening inside your device. These lights can indicate battery life, heating status, or temperature setting. Typically, one color will light up while the device is heating up. 

There may even be a second light as it cools down or a third once completely cooled. When not powered on, the indicator light will likely also be off. Pay attention to these lights to ensure that your vape is functioning correctly and that you're getting the most out of your vaping experience.

Indicator lights are also helpful for knowing where your vape is in its charging process. When plugged in and charging, push-button vapes usually show a blinking indicator light to indicate that they're actively charging. Then, when done charging, it may turn a solid color, such as green, to indicate that it's ready to be used again.

In some instances, indicator lights may also be used for a preheat function to tell you when it's starting to heat up and indicate when it's fully preheated and ready for use. Preheating can help prepare the vape device's coils for the draw you're planning to take. It can also make drawing from the vape quicker and more discreet.

Ready to start using your push-button vape pen? Follow the simple steps below to begin.

Turning on your vape is the first step to using it. Luckily, most push-button vape pens use the same mechanisms to turn on.

1. First, press the button rapidly five times to turn it on. But this might depend on the vape device brand you’re using.
2. Notice the light on the button flashing rapidly a few times. This indicates it's turning on.
3. Once the battery is activated, you can push and hold down the button as you inhale from the vape device.
4. Use the same process to turn it off when ready. Press the button five times rapidly to turn off the battery.

Push button vapes also allow you to control how hot the coil gets to heat the e-juice. They typically provide three heat settings to choose from. Press the button three times to change from the standard heat setting (usually the lowest). 

You may notice the indicator light color change. That's normal. To see if additional heat setting options are available, continue by pressing the button three times again. The indicator light color changes again.

As mentioned earlier, if your vape has a preheat function, it's recommended to use that feature before use. It'll help ensure the e-juice is warmed up and ready to produce thicker and more flavorful clouds.

To start the preheat process:

1. Make sure your cartridge is attached securely to the battery.
2. To make sure the cartridge is attached securely, press in on it until you feel a click.
3. Press the button rapidly two times to start preheating.
4. The indicator light will begin flashing and turn off once the preheat process is complete.

Before you use your push-button vape pen for the first time, you may want to review the manufacturer's manual so you don't miss anything that could be important to maintaining its function. For example, it may tell you how to know that your device is adequately charged or include notes about what certain indicator lights may mean.

After you've read the manual, clean off the mouthpiece once before using it.

As with most devices, charging your push button vape is simple. Just plug it in until the battery is fully charged. 

Remember to check for the blinking indicator light or other cues that your vape is still charging. Most will blink red while charging and switch to a solid green color when fully charged – but consult your user manual to double-check.

You want to avoid overcharging your device because leaving it on the charger for extended periods when it's unnecessary can damage the battery and limit its lifespan.

Here's exactly what to do:

1. Remove the vape cartridge from the device if they’re two separate pieces.
2. Locate the charger included with the vape device.
3. Attach the charger to a wall plug or USB port.
4. Connect the charger to your push button vape pen device.
5. Check for a blinking indicator light (usually red).
6. Remove the device from the charger to prevent overcharging When the light becomes solid (typically white or green).

If you're new to vaping, inhaling may initially feel awkward. Below are some tips so you feel natural even when using it for the first time.

Again, here's another reason that reading the manual the first time you get a new push button vape pen is valuable. It may give you tips to avoid errors or complications.

Use the instructions above to turn it on for the first time.

If not fully charged, plug it in until it is ready to go.

If you're using a refillable vape pen, you'll want to add your e-liquid to the device's tank so the coils have something to heat up when you press the button.

First, disassemble the tank and fill it with e-liquid, avoiding the middle hole. Then screw the airflow base onto the tank again, keeping the battery side down. Finally, wait about five minutes for the e-liquid to soak into the coil thoroughly.

Once you've done this, turn it on and press the button while you take your first draw. Taking a few short puffs at first (primer puffs) will help prime the coils and ensure the oil is heated correctly.

If you prefer more heat or flavor, consider increasing the device's heat level. If the taste comes across as burnt or the vapor is too hot for your liking, consider decreasing the device's heat level.

Take heed of the following tips to ensure your device will last longer:

• Regularly clean the device: Like cleaning your car, ensuring your vape is in its most spick and span condition allows you to use it with no hitch. 

• Replace the coils when necessary: The coils play an important role in your device’s performance. Use your instinct; don't hesitate to do so when you feel they need replacement. 

• Store them properly: Avoid exposing your device to extreme temperatures—hot or cold—as it might be damaged. Store it in a cool area away from children’s reach and pets.  

If you notice your device is giving you a headache and showing problems, don’t replace it just yet. Sometimes, it’s just about proper troubleshooting.

• Not producing vapor: If it isn’t producing the clouds you desire, the best way is to see if the battery is turned on and adequately charged. 

• Burnt taste: Not what you want. So, if it tastes like burnt pancakes or bread, check if the coils are properly primed, your tank is full, the wattage is right, you’re using the right PG-to-VG ratio for the coil head, and the wick is not clogged.  

• Battery problems: Here is when you should never compromise. Unless things can be fixed, at times, it’s better to replace the battery all along or buy a new vape. 

• Never overcharge.
• Don’t store in extreme heat, but rather in a cool, dry area.
• Use only the right charging device.

• To prevent leakage and spillage, keep the e-liquid bottle in an upright position.
• In order to avoid clogging and leakage, never overfill. 
• Before residue buildup, or worse, damage, wipe spills immediately.

Replace the device’s parts when you encounter:

• Burnt tastes
• Tank leakage
• Malfunctioning battery

Using a vape pen, push-button style, is straightforward and allows for a customizable experience. It's vital to familiarize yourself with the device's essential functions and safety features, such as the indicator lights and heating settings. Refer to the manufacturer's manual for specific guidance and to expand your understanding of your device.

With a bit of practice, you can vape comfortably and safely. To prolong the lifespan of your vape pen, remember to charge your device properly and avoid overcharging.
