    Why Is My Vape Pen Blinking Blue

    Do you know when or why your vape pen blinked? Thanks to the manufacturers for using LED flashing indicators in the lean design. These different color blinking lights send a variety of signals to the users.

    You should realize that the electronic devices you regularly use have some errors like that even the most high-quality vape device can cause some trouble. Sometimes it is for a loose battery, charging problem or even thickness of your vape juice can make errors.

    But keep in mind that the signals always don’t mean a warning as an error of your vape pen. Sometimes these signals mean the vape pen functionality.

    Whatever the helpful thing is, these indications draw your attention to your vape pen and let you know when it needs some assistance. In that case, we recommend reading the user manual carefully to operate it in the right way.

    Since the manual sometimes can be difficult to understand and you can’t act according to the needs. So we are here to make your job easy and simple.

    Hence, here are the most common reasons why your vape pen blinking blue. After knowing the reasons, you can make a move to resolving them.

    Low Charge

    This is the most common issue when your vape pen blinks. Some pen lights flash three times continuously to indicate medium battery power. But the same indications can mean low power or the battery is dead for other vape pens. It purely depends on your vape pen model’s functionality. Whatever, the point is you need to recharge your vape pen.

    Low Voltage

    Sometimes due to low voltage, the pen battery can not charge properly. You may see that the charge is full, but the indicator light is flashing when you go to puff. For this inappropriate charging, some other errors can occur as the safety features are activated by default, so it draws your attention to it.

    Battery Is Loose

    This is another common issue that makes the display light blin. A loose battery is the main reason for frequent disconnections, low voltage and irregularities in puffing. If your pen battery doesn’t screw up perfectly it restricts proper charging then the light will be blinking continuously. To resolve this problem, you should clean the tank regularly to build up lint by juice or dust

    Overheated

    Sometimes your vape pen can be overheated by taking puffs simultaneously. If you charge it for a long time, your device can be overheated as well—some device design to Immediate shut-off and some blinking for warning.

    Activation Button Is Stuck

    Your pen activation button can slightly stick in the push position. It is the most common but easy resolving issue that happens. It can be stuck for junk or when you push it for a long time. When the button is stuck, the indications lights start flashing continuously.

    Wrong Components

    If you’re using incompatible components, the display light will blink. It can occur when you use a low-resistance external coil. On the other hand, your vape juice thickness can be the reason as well. Some devices can’t function with high-density oils, so the light indicates as a warning.

    Expiration Of The Vape Pen

    You should keep in mind that every device has an expiration limit. Even the most high-end and expensive one will wear out one hand. If you maintain your vape pen perfectly, it can last a long but not forever.

    Final Words

    Nowadays, the upgraded model design has an expiration indication function. When the device comes closer to its expiration level, your vape indications light blink.

    If your vape indication light starts blinking it is recommended to stop puffing and try to find out its reason.

    Now, you have the proper idea when and why your pen blinks. So, if your vape indication light starts blinking it is recommended to stop puffing and try to find out the reason behind it.

  • ‘US sowing seeds of enmity in Africans against China’

    ‘US sowing seeds of enmity in Africans against China’

    The Chairman of Chinese investors Association for Development and Promotion in Nigeria, Chief Ronnie Liu, has decried what he called enmity that the US sows in the minds of Nigerians and Africans against China as baseless.

    Liu, a businessman in Lagos with interests in several sectors, lamented that while US has sustained one of the world’s greatest economies for hundreds of years and related with Africa these years without a lasting impact, it doesn’t feel comfortable that China has warmed its way into the minds of Africa through genuine friendship.

    The Chinese businessman noted that even in the face of the coronavirus global pandemic, while China struggles to control its crises, it hasn’t looked away from assisting African countries to pull through.

    He called on Nigerians and Africans to ignore the propaganda of the US trying to sow hate between the two worlds.

    According to him:: “The relationship between Nigeria where I have lived and done business in the past 21 years has been great and fruitful. The China Africa cooperation in the past 20 years through the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) has yielded great dividends and it would be meaningless for us to allow ourselves to be driven apart by US that hasn’t shown any better love for Africa even with a far longer relationship.”

    The co-chairman and founding leader of the University of Lagos Institute for Nigeria-China Studies, in a statement, argued: “Western media has made everything non-western evil. We need to sit down and look at it logically. Nigeria has been struggling to fight Boko Haram for over a decade, US has never shown any genuine support.

    “In a continent struggling to provide basic thing as clean water, road, education, etc. In terms of infrastructure development, US hasn’t built anything tangible anywhere in Africa despite her big economy and influence. On the other hand, China is building projects across Africa from electricity to railways to airports, roads, and further awards scholarships to Africans.

    “Let’s say African countries default eventually in paying for the projects and China takes them over as canvassed by the US, who would still be using those infrastructure, Chinese? At least they brought them here, so if Africa can’t pay back and the Chinese take them over, these things would still be in use by Africans and improve quality of life, just like every private business. I said this by just assuming the position of US is correct, although it is not because the conditions and terms of the project construction don’t include such takeovers.

    ”US and its leader, President Donald Trump have made it a duty to see everyone supporting Africa as enemy and call them all kinds unprintable names, impose visa ban on them, reporting the weak and negative sides of African nations and continuously ridiculing everything we do.

    ”Even before any takeover as they predict, the western media still find their ways into the hearts of Africans to hate Chinese. Sadly, enough some uninformed people even those that are opinion leaders that should know better join in brainwashing the uninformed citizens.

    ”For instance, how many times has China overthrown any African government? How many nations in Africa has China invaded? How many times has the Chinese Embassy criticized Nigeria’s local affairs?

    ”It was in 1809 that New York started operating underground train, that’s over 210 years ago, they never extended such to Africa. China started booming just 20 years ago and has extended everything technology they have to Africa, that have improved people’s lives; from phones, train, good airport, naval vessels, roads, scholarships, etc. So, Africans must sit down and think and know who their real enemy is and definitely China is not the enemy of Africa.”
