Why is my Flum Float Blinking?

If your Flum Float is blinking, it’s an indicator that something is not functioning correctly. Here are the most common reasons why your Flum Float might be blinking and what each signal typically means:

1. Low Battery

The most common reason for a blinking light on a Flum Float is a low battery. When the battery level is critically low, the device will blink to alert you that it needs to be disposed of and replaced with a new one. Since Flum Floats are disposable and not rechargeable, a blinking light due to low battery means it’s time to get a new device​.

2. E-Liquid Depletion

Another reason for the blinking light could be that the e-liquid inside the device is running low or has been completely depleted. When the device detects that there’s no more e-liquid to vaporize, it will start blinking to indicate that it’s no longer usable​​.

3. Device Malfunction

In some cases, a blinking light might indicate a malfunction or an internal issue with the device. This could be due to a manufacturing defect or damage caused by improper handling. Unfortunately, with disposable devices like the Flum Float, there isn’t much you can do to fix internal issues, and the device will need to be replaced​.

4. Overheating Protection

The device may also blink if it overheats. This is a built-in safety feature to prevent damage or potential hazards. If you’ve been using your Flum Float continuously for an extended period, give it a break and let it cool down. If the blinking continues after it has cooled, it’s best to dispose of the device.

5. Short Circuit

A short circuit within the device can also cause the light to blink. This might occur if the device has been exposed to water or has been damaged in some way. Again, for disposable vapes, a short circuit means the device has reached the end of its life and should be safely disposed of​.

What to Do When Your Flum Float Blinks

• Replace the Device: The most straightforward solution is to replace the blinking Flum Float with a new one.
• Check for Visible Damage: If you suspect a short circuit or other internal issues, check the device for visible signs of damage.
• Dispose of Responsibly: Ensure you dispose of your used Flum Float responsibly, following local guidelines for electronic waste disposal.

Blinking lights on a Flum Float are typically a sign that the device has reached the end of its life. For a reliable and consistent vaping experience, it’s best to replace it with a new one when you encounter these issues.
