Backpack Boyz offers a range of vape products, including disposables, cartridges, and live resin devices. The process to turn them on depends on the type of vape you have, as some are draw-activated and others have manual buttons. Understanding how to use your device correctly ensures a safer, more enjoyable vaping experience.
1. Identify Your Vape Type
- Draw-activated disposables: Most Backpack Boyz disposables are draw-activated. This means you don’t need to press a button—simply inhale from the mouthpiece, and the device automatically powers the coil.
- Button-activated cartridges: Some Backpack Boyz cartridges or pods may require a manual button press to activate the heating element. Look for a small button near the mouthpiece or on the side of the device.
2. Check Battery Charge
Before using your device:
- Inspect for a battery light indicator if present.
- If the device has never been used or hasn’t been charged, ensure it has enough power.
- Draw-activated devices usually have an internal pre-charged battery, but if it fails to activate, it might be depleted or defective.
3. Remove Packaging
- Take off any protective caps or seals on the mouthpiece.
- Make sure the device is upright and the oil is settled around the coil to prevent dry hits.
4. Turn On the Device
- Draw-activated: Simply inhale slowly and steadily from the mouthpiece. The device will automatically heat the oil and produce vapor.
- Button-activated: Press and hold the activation button while inhaling. Some devices require 5 consecutive clicks to unlock the device or turn it on (check your packaging instructions).
5. Use Correctly
- Take slow, moderate puffs—avoid inhaling too quickly, which can reduce vapor quality and cause coughing.
- Pause between draws to allow the coil to cool slightly, which preserves the device and prevents burnt hits.
- Monitor vapor output and flavor; if the vapor is weak or tastes burnt, the device may be empty or low on battery.
6. Safety Tips
- Avoid pressing or activating the device unnecessarily, especially if it’s empty.
- Store upright and away from heat or direct sunlight to maintain battery and oil quality.
- Do not attempt to refill a disposable unless it is explicitly designed for that purpose.
Conclusion
Turning on a Backpack Boyz vape is simple: identify your device type, remove packaging, check battery, and either inhale (draw-activated) or press the activation button (manual). Following these steps ensures safe use, preserves device longevity, and gives the best flavor and potency. Proper handling also reduces the risk of leaks or burnt hits, especially with larger 2g or 3.5g disposables.
