Troubleshooting VGOD Stig Disposable Vapes: What to Do If Yours Isn’t Hitting
Jun
Introduction
The VGOD Stig Disposable Vape is one of the most popular salt nic devices in the UAE, known for its compact size, high nicotine strength (60mg), and ease of use. Whether you’re a regular user in Dubai or just picking one up in Abu Dhabi, you expect it to work straight out of the box. However, some users face issues where their Stig doesn’t hit at all or suddenly stops working. This guide covers everything you need to know to troubleshoot your VGOD Stig and figure out if it’s empty, faulty, or simply blocked.
How the VGOD Stig Works
Draw-Activated Mechanism
The VGOD Stig uses a draw-activated firing system, meaning there are no buttons—just inhale from the mouthpiece, and the device activates automatically. A pressure sensor inside the device detects your puff and powers the coil to produce vapor.
Internal Components
Inside each Stig device, you’ll find:
- A non-rechargeable, pre-charged lithium battery designed to last as long as the e-liquid supply.
- A coil that vaporizes the e-liquid.
- Approximately 1.2ml of SaltNic e-liquid with a high nicotine concentration (6%), delivering ~270 puffs.
One-Time Use
The VGOD Stig is fully disposable—it cannot be recharged or refilled. Once the battery is drained or the e-liquid is finished, the device is meant to be disposed of properly.

Common Reasons Why the VGOD Stig Isn’t Hitting
a. Dead Battery
If your Stig has stopped producing vapor and the LED light doesn’t glow when you inhale, the battery may be dead. This can happen if the device has been in use for a while or left unused for a long time.
b. Draw Sensor Not Triggering
If you’re puffing but not getting any vapor—and the light doesn’t blink—it could be that the sensor isn’t detecting your draw, especially if your puff is too soft.
c. Blocked Airflow
Dust or pocket lint can clog the mouthpiece or internal airflow vents, especially if you’ve kept the vape in your pocket or bag. This blockage prevents proper activation of the device.
d. Factory Defect
Occasionally, a device might be defective from the manufacturer. This is rare, but it does happen. If the device never worked from the first puff, it may be a dud.
e. Empty E-Liquid
If you’ve been using the Stig regularly and suddenly the flavor drops or you get a burnt, dry hit, the e-liquid may be finished—even if the battery still lights up.
Step-by-Step Troubleshooting Tips
a. Take a Stronger Inhale
Try inhaling more forcefully—some units require a slightly stronger draw to activate the pressure sensor. A light puff may not trigger the coil.
b. Check for Blockages
Inspect the mouthpiece:
- Look for any dirt or debris.
- Use a toothpick or cotton swab (never metal) to gently clean it out.
Also, blow gently into the airflow slot (usually at the bottom) to remove any dust.
c. Warm It Up
In colder environments, the e-liquid may thicken. Simply warm the device between your hands for 1–2 minutes. This can improve the consistency of the liquid and activate the sensor more easily.
d. Gentle Tap
Hold the device upright and give it a gentle tap against your palm. Sometimes, small internal misalignments or air bubbles can be corrected this way. Don’t hit it too hard—disposable vapes are fragile.
How to Tell If Your VGOD Stig Is Empty vs. Malfunctioning
Signs It’s Empty:
- Very weak or no flavor.
- Burnt or dry hits.
- LED lights up, but little or no vapor is produced.
- You’ve used it regularly and are near or past the 270-puff mark.
Signs It’s Malfunctioning:
- LED doesn’t light up at all
- You’ve only used it once or twice.
- No airflow or sound during inhale.
- The device gets hot or blinks irregularly (safety feature).
When to Stop Using It
If the device isn’t hitting and:
- You’ve already cleaned the mouthpiece,
- Tried stronger puffs,
- And it still doesn’t light up or give vapor—
It’s time to stop using it. Continuing to puff on a dead or defective device won’t improve performance and may even be harmful.
Preventative Tips for Future Use
To extend the lifespan and avoid issues with your VGOD Stig:
- Store upright and away from heat or sunlight.
- Avoid placing it in tight pockets with lint or dust.
- Don’t expose it to excessive cold—this thickens the e-liquid.
- Buy only from authorized sellers in the UAE to avoid counterfeit or old stock.
Final Tips for a Smoother Vaping Experience
- Don’t cover airflow vents while using the device.
- Don’t leave it under the sun in your car or on hot surfaces.
- Use the vape regularly once opened—long inactivity can cause sensor issues or thickening e-liquid.
- Always keep a backup device, especially if you’re traveling or commuting in UAE heat.
What to Do If Your Device Is Defective
If your brand-new VGOD Stig doesn’t work:
- Contact the seller immediately.
- Many UAE-based retailers allow exchanges within 24–48 hours if the product is clearly unused or defective.
- Keep the packaging and receipt—this helps with warranty claims.
