    Commonly referred to as e-cigarettes, vaping is really about the use of personal vaporizers (mods) and atomizers (tanks, clearos, RBAs, RDAs, RTAs) filled with e-liquid.

    If it's not something as simple as your e cigarette battery needing to be charged, loss of vapour may be the result of a bad contact between the battery and atomiser. The threads on an e cigarette battery and atomiser are electrical contacts which need to be kept clean in order to work.Clean the thread of your electronic cigarette battery (the brass screw that screws into an atomiser) by wrapping a wad of paper towel around the thread and twisting it back and forth. The action is rather like drying a glass with a tea towel.You can use your fingernail to get right into the grooves and ensure the contact is as clean as possible.Use the same method for ensuring the atomiser contact threads are clean too, then screw your e cigarette back together.Ensuring your battery has plenty of charge, try your e cig again to see if cleaning the threads has helped.

    Juice has leaked from the cartomiser to the contacts. This can happen at any time but often when the battery is going low but doesn't blink yet. Also some cartomisers don't like being laid on the side. Apparently this doesn't occur in the more 'modern' ones anymore but there might still be some older versions flying about out there.

    The ones available on reputable sites.

    There's been a lot of leaking at every possible and impossible connection in the old times :grin: (about a year ago) but things have improved quite a bit.
