RAZ Not Charging or Not Hitting? What to Check

A RAZ is a rechargeable disposable vape. Every RAZ listing at Vaperan is draw-activated: there is no fire button, and the device heats when you inhale. When one will not charge or stops hitting, check four things in this order: the battery, the e-liquid, the airflow and the mouthpiece. On the VUE 50K kit, also check that the pod is seated on the battery.

1. Charge it

4 of the 5 RAZ listings give USB Type-C as the charging port. The exception is the RAZ VUE 50K pods (Recharges via Battery Bank from Kit). Battery sizes run from 420mAh to 900mAh on the listings that publish one. A device that was working and has simply stopped producing vapor often has a flat battery.

Plug a USB Type-C cable into the device and into a computer port or a basic 5V USB adapter. The specification lists for the LTX 25000 and RYL Classic 35K include a battery life indicator. Give a fully drained device 15 minutes on the cable before deciding that it will not charge.

2. If it will not charge

• Try a second cable and a second power source. Use a plain 5V port: some fast chargers do not power a device that cannot negotiate with them.
• Look into the charging port for lint and clear it with a dry wooden toothpick, never metal.
• No RAZ listing includes a cable or a charger; none of the in-the-box lines lists one.
• A new device that shows nothing after 15 minutes on a known-good cable is a warranty case (below).

3. Check the e-liquid

The specification lists for the LTX 25000 and RYL Classic 35K include an e-liquid level indicator. If the level reads empty, or the vapor has turned thin and tastes dry or burnt on a charged device, the e-liquid is gone. RAZ devices are prefilled: on the VUE 50K kit you replace the pod, and on the one-piece models the device is finished.

4. Open the airflow

4 of the 5 listings publish an adjustable airflow (see the table). A draw-activated device needs air moving through it to fire; if the control is fully closed, open it and try again.

5. Clear the mouthpiece

Condensation collects in the mouthpiece and can block the draw. Wipe it, blow gently through the mouthpiece away from your face, and stand the device upright for a few minutes. On a new device, make sure any plug or sticker has been removed.

6. Reseat the pod

On the VUE 50K kit, take the pod off the battery, wipe the contacts on both parts with a dry cloth and put the pod back so that it sits flush.

What not to do

• Do not open the casing. Inside is a lithium battery that can short, and the warranty excludes modified devices.
• Do not charge a device that is swollen, dented, hot or leaking. See vape battery safety.
• Do not use a laptop or phone fast charger, and do not leave it charging unattended.

When it is a warranty case

A new device that fails these checks out of the box may be dead on arrival. Disposables and prefilled pods are covered for dead-on-arrival faults reported within 1 month of delivery. Contact us with your order number and a short video or photos of the fault; the Warranty page explains what is covered and how to claim.

Questions

Why is my RAZ not hitting?

Most often the battery is flat, the e-liquid has run out, the airflow is closed or the mouthpiece is blocked. Check them in that order.

Why is my RAZ not charging?

Usually the cable or the power source. Try a second USB Type-C cable and a plain 5V port, clear the charging port of lint, and give a fully drained device 15 minutes. A new device that still does not charge is a warranty case.

How do I charge a RAZ vape?

With a USB Type-C cable from a computer port or a basic 5V USB adapter. No cable is supplied: none of the in-the-box lines lists one.

How do I turn a RAZ vape on or off?

The specification lists show no power button. Every RAZ listing that publishes an activation method is draw-activated, so the device is active only while you inhale.

How do I reset a RAZ vape?

The specification lists describe no reset function. Work through the checks above: charge it, check the e-liquid, open the airflow and clear the mouthpiece.

Can you refill a RAZ vape?

The devices are sold prefilled and the specification lists describe no refilling. On the VUE 50K kit you replace the prefilled pod.
