Pyne Pod Click Not Charging? Here’s What You Should Do
With its easy-to-use pods and enormous puff count, the Pyne Pod Click 50K has become one of the most popular vapes in the UK and has jumped out as an early leader in the burgeoning “big puff” segment. The Pyne Pod Click system and other vapes like it have helped to fill the void left by the ban on disposable vapes, providing a similar level of convenience in a package that’s rechargeable and refillable.
The fact that the Pyne Pod Click is a reusable vape, though, means that you need to charge the battery once in a while to keep the device going. That should be easy enough, but USB-based charging isn’t always as reliable as it should be. If your device doesn’t light up when you connect the charging cable, it means that your Pyne Pod Click isn’t charging. There’s no need to worry, though, because you’re in the right place if you need some help.
Fixing a Pyne Pod Click that isn’t charging is usually a simple process, and you can typically resolve the issue just by replacing the charging cable. We’ll explain why that works in this guide, and we’ll also provide some additional steps to try if the new cable doesn’t get your device charging.
Here’s what you need to do.
Charge Your Pyne Pod Click with a Different Cable
With a price that’s typically under £20, the Pyne Pod Click is an amazingly affordable vape – especially when you consider the fact that the starter kit includes three pods and three refill containers with 36 ml of vape juice in total. You’re not likely to find a better deal anywhere, and one of the reasons why the kit costs as little as it does is because it doesn’t include a charging cable. You’ll need to use your own cable, and that can sometimes cause problems because USB cables don’t have the greatest reputation for reliability. You could be using a cable that’s frayed or stretched out, and the only sign of a problem is the fact that your Pyne Pod Click isn’t charging.
In short: Replacing the USB cable will almost always fix a charging problem with the Pyne Pod Click or any other vaping device. You’re probably trying to charge your device with a cable that’s old and worn out, and using a new cable will most likely resolve the issue.
Connect the Pyne Pod Click to a Different Power Source
The next thing to know about resolving a charging problem with your Pyne Pod Click is that a vaping device is very sensitive to the power source that you use to charge it. Here’s how to give your vape the best possible chance or charging successfully without issues.
When in doubt, you should always charge your Pyne Pod Click through your computer. A computer’s USB controller should always communicate correctly with any connected device to determine the maximum correct charging speed.
If you prefer to use a wall adapter, you should always use an adapter with an output amperage matching what the vaping device expects to receive. In most cases, a vaping device like the Pyne Pod Click is designed for a charging amperage of 1 amp. You should never connect a vaping device to a wall adapter with a higher amperage than what the device supports because doing so increases the risk of overheating.
Don’t ever charge the Pyne Pod Click or any other vaping device through a wall adapter intended for charging a smartphone, tablet or computer. The batteries in high-end consumer devices are designed for fast charging, which means that they can support higher charging amperages without overheating. Unless your vape explicitly says otherwise in the instruction manual, it doesn’t have a battery that supports fast charging.
Clean the Pyne Pod Click’s Charging Port
If you’re unable to get your Pyne Pod Click charging by replacing the cable and evaluating the power source, checking the charging port for contaminants is the next thing you should do. Since you probably carry your Pyne Pod in your pocket when you aren’t using it, there’s a good chance that the charging port will pick up lint and other contaminants that will prevent the device from charging. You’ll need to clean the port to remove the blockage and get your device working again.
The easiest way to clean the charging port on your Pyne Pod Boost is with a toothpick. Use the toothpick to gently scrape out lint, dust and other contaminants. If you have difficulty fitting the toothpick in the port, you can break it in half to create a smaller edge. Be careful to avoid scratching the port’s delicate components.
If you’re having trouble getting dislodged objects out of the charging port, you can also use a can of compressed air to remove dust and lint.
Don’t ever attempt to clean a USB port with a metal object. The contacts in the port are covered with delicate metal plating that’s easily scratched, and damaging the metal could prevent your Pyne Pod Click from charging correctly.
Final Thoughts
We hope that you were successful in getting your Pyne Pod Click to start charging by following the steps in this guide. To recap, resolving a charging problem with any vaping device is usually a simple three-step process. If you do these three things, you should be able to resolve the issue.
Replace the USB cable. This will almost always fix a charging problem with any vape.
Check the power source. A vaping device will usually charge most reliably if you connect it to your computer. You can also use most wall adapters, but you shouldn’t connect your Pyne Pod Click to a wall adapter designed for a phone, tablet or computer.
