To fix a stuck vape cartridge, start by gently twisting the cartridge. Avoid using excessive force to prevent damage. If twisting fails, use a hairdryer on low heat to warm the cartridge slightly, loosening any residue. Ensure it’s not too hot to touch. Finally, clean the connection area with a cotton swab dipped in iso-propyl alcohol to remove any blockage or residue. This should make the cartridge easier to remove and reattach.
