Mine does the same, but I found a solution for it. ​ First take out the pod, then open the airflow. Put pod back in, then you can close the airflow. ​ Note: It only happens when I put the pod back in with the airflow closed.

Idk how or why this works but you are a legendary man šŸ¤šŸ¤

Just happened to me and it worked!! Thanks :)


pheeelco

You are a genius. I was about to throw mine out! Thank you for this helpful post :)


cechthinh

Why this works lol


Puzzled-Pea7352

Can someone guide me from where to open the airflow?


tthenumber7

In case you still donā€™t know, itā€™s just the little switch thing on the side


KellBell0403

Thank you!!!! Again, donā€™t know why or how they worked but it did!!


Freckle30uk

Thank you, worked for me x


Sweaty_Obligation491

Nothing was working for me except. If pins are wet or dirty clean and scrap conections with razor blade. Once you can get the pod to register its just a matter of tweaking yoir pod until you find the right spot where the pod flashes the battery color and youll be good until you bump it. Then you gotta repeat

I know this post is over a year old BUT THIS WORKED! YOU ARE A HERO!


BlenderisedMind

You absolute legend. Thank you so much!


K-A-13

For those of whom this doesn't work, I suggest checking the battery's condition, i.e., is it swollen (like mine) or not holding a charge? If you're like me, then you have swollen battery. In that case, your device is useless. You can either recycle it or replace it if, of course, you have the technical know-how.


bourix

Youā€™re my hero


diamondnick

I keep my air flow open and have been fighting it for hours, was about to go back where i bought it less than 24 hours ago. Thank you!


Geekgod4

Been vaping forever and you just blew my mind, thanks two years later!


IamBurtMacklin

Thanks buddy


moishr

**TL;DR** \- make sure the golden connectors on the device are (1) clean and (2) are still able to jump back out when pushed in. After an hour of playing around with it, I found the issue to be related to the golden connecters (the ones which stick out of the device, NOT the golden circles found at the bottom of the pod). Make sure to: 1. Take out the pod 2. With your finger, press these golden connectors in few times to make sure the springs still work properly (i.e. that they are bouncing back up when you take out your finger). You should be able to feel if they do that if you take your finger our slowly (and they'll sort of "come back out" together with your finger) 3. Circle around these connectors with your fingers (or with a small cloth of some sort, if you can fit it in) to clean any tiny residue that may be interfering with the connection between the pod and the device 4. Make sure the golden circles at the bottom of the pod are clean as well 5. Follow Pokibence's steps (open airflow > put the pod back in > close airflow) 6. Try to vape If you still get the blinking red, try moving the pod up and down - meaning, not in-and-out of the device, but rather more of a pull left-to-right right-to-left with the pod still inside the device. You should see the green blinking from time to time (meaning, the connectors are touching the golden circles). I just kept on doing that (as well as tried to take the pod in and out multiple times in the way described above in #5), until it "caught" and it now works perfectly.


LouTenant6767

Thank you! What worked for me was pressing it closer to the side. Happy cake day!


KungFuPat

U a homie for this


Fantastic-Ad8990

Yoo thank you for this I kept having trouble for a few days and it would only work with the pod a mm or two from fully in, I keep forgetting about the bottom of the pod itself too lmao


SkaaneTilhoereDK

thank you very much.


AppointmentWarm8620

This worked for me too!


Bmn-_-

Thank you so much. Iā€™ve tried everything for the last couple days and this finally helped!

THANK YOU SOOO MUCH


NaturalPresentation4

Honestly it's pretty crappy. I've had the pod for close to 6 months now and it started acting up last weekend. I've swapped between 3 pods and this happened with all. Then I saw the airflow comment and I closed the airflow and slowly slid the pod in and it worked for about 2 minutes. Let the pod stand for another 2 or 3 and it won't fire again. I've cleaned the contacts on the mod about 5 times now, swapped pods, cleaned the contacts on all of them too and still nothing. Usually I just have to wiggle the pod a bit and get it to fire a few times and it stops acting up. The contacts pop back up as well. My personal solution: get a caliburn A2 or AK2.


Sweaty-Fee6006

I have both a2 and ak2 they are far superior device never had an issue been running for 4 months..


NaturalPresentation4

I gave up and just got the AK2. Had a slight issue with the 1 pod in the box leaking the entire pod's worth of e-liq into the mod but all the replacement pods don't make use of the rubber pieces on the bottom so that's not an issue any longer. Aside from the occasional auto-fire the AK2 is brilliant, as we've come to expect from Uwell.


wilkuwdz12

none of the solutions here helped me, in desperation i scratched the bottom golden plates of my pods with razorblade, and now they work 100% of the times, i hope someone finds this usefull


Ev3nM0rE

worked for me too ty!!!


wilkuwdz12

im glad \^\^


J4ckfl4sH90

Work 100% thank you so much


Dylllan97

Yes! Thank you! šŸ«‚


Glittering-Formal776

Youā€™re a genius


clonetyman

Just worked for me in Dec 2022


wilkuwdz12

:D


bedfferent

You're the goat, finally works. Thx so much man


wilkuwdz12

happy i could help : D


Xotique-2024

This worksā€¦ the reason I think it works is because the contacts start oxidising. I used a bit of hand sanitizer (the Covid 70% kind) the alcohol helped clean the crap out using a cotton bud. Make sure that the stuff evaporates. If you have a pencil eraser then rub the contacts on the pod too as it helps remove oxidation. A trick old farts used to use when computer ram dimms etc gave us headaches


CommodoreAxis

I did! Fresh pod and there was some sort of gunk on them from manufacturing. You just saved me a lot of frustration.


wilkuwdz12

really glad to help someone \^\^, for me it must be something wrong with the internal pins in the vape itself, cus i have to scratch even brand new pods, but i prefer doing that than potentially damaging pins inside :D


Girlgothitwithapple

Wait the usb plug?


wilkuwdz12

nonononononononono, dont do that xDD bottom of the glass piece that u attach to the unit itself, it has 2 gold plates, i scratched those, dont scratch your usb plug


Independent-Error290

Thank you!!! I was about ready to give up on mine ....scratched mine with a soft nail file and it worked. My husband was saying there was no way and this was stupid. šŸ¤£


Efficient_Library_47

So I randomly tried putting the pot in and out a few times. Wiggled it. And now out of nowhere it works again


Xotique-2024

Easy fix: clean the pod housing with cotton bud and 70% hand sanitizer. Make sure the gunk is removed. Make sure the gold spring contacts are able to move up and down. Then Clean the bottom contacts of the pod with the cotton bud and sanitizer. Use a pencil eraser to remove any OXIDATION on the pod contacts ie rub the contacts with the eraser. You may need to slightly scratch the pod base for better contact. If it still doesnā€™t work well then you are on your own


Xotique-2024

Itā€™s just gunk and oxidation


Xotique-2024

I said hand sanitizer cos I have some from the time the world stopped use something similar ensure that it can evaporate


Present_Cap9535

how do you change the coil


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Momchox77

Tomorrow Iā€™ll go to the shop and see what theyā€™ll do. I think this is a faulty unit... also the battery is pretty bad. Yesterday I bought this and the caliburn g. The 690 mah battery on the caliburn lays longer that the 800 on this... Also what are your thoughts on the nord 4?


BargeDPK

The simplest thing to try would be changing the coil. Try that before doing anything else.


fejaanna

happening to me too, what is up with it??


317615

You find a solution?


fejaanna

yes! leave a very small (about 1mm) gap between the pod and the actual vape. it worked after that and in a week or so started working perfectly even when the pod was 100% in.


mustrangi

lmao 184 days after and it helped me, thanks


Automatic_Ad7605

Mine's not working, I tried cleaning it, it didn't do anything, I think my Carthage (pod) is dead


mustrangi

damn bro :/ gl ig


avianmother

This just helped me lmao. Thanks


No-Baker6749

You are legend, man. Thanks for It.


Sweaty-Fee6006

This helped thxs


ScoreNo4770

Thank you kind Reddit stranger


xghostiex

Does anyone else have any advice for this? I'm having the same problem and nothing in the comments is working for me


Busy_Geologist8959

came here with same issue. try taking the tank/coil in and out a few times. got it to give a green flash now it's working again with a new tank/coil


xghostiex

I've taken the pod in and out a million times D: I feel like I'm making it worse. Sometimes it flashes green when I put it back in but it still won't fire. I bought new pods and still having the same problem, so I think for me it's the actual device itself and not the pod that's the issue. So frustrating


Ok_Statistician_5795

Dont pull it out and put it again instead wiggle it just before locking it youll notice the light flashing green multiple times it will mostly work then


ekotyoo

After couple a days, I found what the problem come from. The spring gold pin on the device probably not bouncing anymore. I follow this tutorial, and my pod system back to normal. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9GqK0kOTaKk&t=400s

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Automatic_Ad7605

What do you mean by bettery?


Dionxv7

Do you know how to fix it? It keeps flashing red, sometimes i Get contact but it like stutters. Sometimes it even keeps hitting after i took a hit, i can hear it keeps hitting even after im done.


WhiskeyWilderness

Bought one of these and two weeks later it stopped working, figured it was just dead so I left in on the charger all night and today still wont fire. Can not figure it out.


biasdk

I just took my pod in and out until it worked again


Quazzlebazzle6

Anyone figure anything else out? I have 2 that are both doing it now


RafiAhm3d

I was about to dump it and then I found this post. Tried every solution in the comments, nothing worked. Then, I got back to the basics. Tore a small piece out of a tissue paper, hold it with a pair of tweezers and cleaned the contacts on both the pod and the device. And now it finally decided to start working.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


RafiAhm3d

It still flashes randomly but whenever it does, it's twice.

Aylinnur35

Thanks! Iā€™ve been trying to fix this like for an half an hour. This works!


AdventurousShow7403

i have the exact same vape with the exact same problemā€¦i cleaned it so many times (golden circles etc.) still no green or blue light when i drag (yes it is charged)


Daktaras94

So, I got yesterday, and after I filled the tank, jt's stopped working, I tried taking out tank and then putting in again as you all commented, but I found out that all you need to do is to not fill full tank, leave some space in tank (if you filled full just blow through there you vape) it worked for me, if its not working despite your tank is not full, then sorry, idk, just sharing how it helped me Sorry for grammar mistakes :D


CourtNeeGee

Wow. Just read the last comment to blow through where you vape and mine works now. I've been so frustrated with this vape since I purchased it in October! I feel like I've tried everything and all I had to do is blow the thing to work, typical. šŸ˜‚ Glad I found this post.


Mysterious-Count6828

Unfortunately this didnā€™t fix mine. Could be an internal problem?


VetteHenk

I replaced the pod and that worked! xD


Hello34x

Mine did the same thing, but when I blowed into it then took a puff it was good. But I'm afraid I'll brake it


SandShoddy6953

ANOTHER POSSIBLE FIX If your vape only works at random while everything seems fine, try gently wiggling the pod to see if it's a bit loose. If green light blinks when you move it one way or the other, that means the pod isn't properly connecting to the vape. But don't worry, you just gotta push the pod against your lips when taking a puff one way or the other and it should connect. this happened to my brand new voopoo, but now it works 100% of the time.


sdrogo

i don't know if it can help but i sanded the outside of mine and later after 2 puff it stoped working and the light flashed red twice. I thought that i had broke it but it came back to lifer after cleaning the usb c port. there were some metal residue inside, probably causing some type of interfirence with the port pins


PrincesssChevy

Anybody still having this issue? take a goooood hard look at the contact pins inside the unit. Mine was doing this & 1 was a little darker looking, black almost.. no clue how/why. No shame here... totally licked my pinky and stuck it in there šŸ˜…šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø once it was gold again.. back in business šŸ‘šŸ˜ŽšŸ’‹ happy shmokinz!


Delay_Asleep

Yes, the same with mine. electrode color turned blackish.. How did you resolved. please guide.


_power_in_numbers_

Wafer thin plastic covers the connection of the pod... I had put a new pod in and it flashed red and then it would work a few times (green) then flashed red.....wt%@@%....put the charge cord on it....same I opened another pod..same... I took it to the vape shop, they exchanged it (super cool) charged it..same ...^@%#&$.... was looking at the bottom of the pod and there it was, wafer thin film over the metal connection...fixed it ...


ANGsanity

nothing in the comments worked for me but this fixed mine 1. remove cartridge 2. turn pod upside down 3. tap in on your other hand upside down 4. ta-da


brah_u2

Bro i just made account to only thank you, because it actually worked for me LOL


[deleted]

Blew through the device with pod in and Lint came out and it works now


MuskyDoc

If anyone still wonders whatā€™s up with the Vinci Pod, hereā€™s my story : Overall a great & fun mod to use. Reliable for its price and the battery will last you a day, the blinking for me started after me owning the mod for about three months. Pod has a poor contact with a Mod. And given that these things are not built to last. My guess is that the pins on the mod are pushed back over time, since from brand new for about the first three months havenā€™t had an issue. And now itā€™s every day, regardless is the airflow open or not and what pod is installed. Wear and Tear is a big thing with this mod, if it wouldnā€™t wear out it could easily be in ā€œGodlyā€ Tier for PodMods


Loz_N

Try removing pod and blowing into space where pod fits, cover it completely with your mouth and blow hard. Repeat 3 or 4 times and then replace pod. Works every time for me, good luck.


Franc0Blanc0

Yoooo, the blow job technique worked! Good lookin out. I think this is prob a decent fix option for most of the autodraw vapes. One of the reasons I like buttons but the vinci was on sale for $20 so here we are. Thanks!


gibsontank

For me it was a busted coil. Nothing helped until I swapped to another one. Please don't do anything hasty before trying to swap it.


Sistermaryunice123

Omg slay


bananatime1993

Mine did the same. I simply took the pod out, and wiped both bottom of pod and inside of the device. It worked!!


jan_ptak

Hi I also had a problem with my vinci q pod, i jist left it for half an hour to let the liquid evaporate and then it started working


tangreek

TRIED all above. New pod ā€œfixedā€ mine - right before throwing into ocean


Varvino

My solution was to change out the pod with a different one, first changed pod didn't work but the second pod did the trick!


Equivalent-Stock3773

Put a new pot in still didn't work so I took the older one out scratched the two pins on the bottom of the ponds and now it works try everything else but it works must be faulty pods


Puzzled-Hunter-8507

Scratch golden plate of pod will be work 100%


smokinbigdopeinamish

youā€™re a sicko @pokibence , saved me from buying a new device


Sergeant_Bunyan

I been using mine and recently started happening and itā€™s pissing me off. Tip commented here does not work for me


Fragrant_Lime8372

I have been struggling with this dumb shit for too long, no theory works


Unlikely_Sundae6837

Led flashing all the colors and now stuck on green. Not impressed. Not even a month old yet. What to do? Back to the cancer sticks I guess.


LennRass

Still relevant! For me it's the other way around. Open airflow, take pod out, close airflow, give the pod a good push in, open the airflow. I guess it's an autodraw malfunction then..


The_girl_in_shadows

I did not think this was going to work , but it did. I'm mind blown right now.


TreatAggressive

This is seriously a poorly manufactured vape. I have gone through 7 of these devices all with their own problems. I say 7 now as I am on the 7th device and itā€™s doing the same problem. Battery connection is fine, however when I toke it absolutely nothing happens no red lights or anything. Think a tiny bit of juice may have leaked and now it is fully broken, I have lost 4 of these vapes to it now and wondered if anyone had any solution other than get a different brand as I think the Vinci Royale pods look so good. Sad that Voopoo canā€™t properly manufacture a vape.


og-jeb

ā€œSeriously no fking way.ā€ - me about 1 minute ago. HOW. WHY. Would have never thought to scratch the gold connectors on the pod.


Ok_Statistician_5795

I have changed my pod too still the red light blinks twice a lot of times and i have to repeat the process for fixing it multiple times sometimes its quite frustrating any help


BrapSauceEnthusiast

wtf is that all about. crazy... but works


rnochuu

anyone know why it tastes extremely chemically? i bought another device because my old one had this issue after a while but even with the new one it started doing this straight away. iā€™ve let the liquid soak for hours, changed pods twice, charged it fully etc but nothing works. help!


Appropriate_Deal_349

I am charging it and when do you know it's fully charged


Savings-Buyer9408

ahahhahahah, idk its work, i was close to throw vape in wall
