Esco Bars are some of the most popular disposable vapes on the market because they offer a winning combination of stylish designs, reliable performance and varied flavors that appeal to people making the transition from smoking to vaping. Reliability, though, is probably the biggest selling point of these devices. You’re looking for a product that makes switching to vaping easy and that always works when you want to use it – and Esco Bars definitely fit the bill.
The fact that Esco Bars are generally so reliable means that it’ll definitely come as a surprise if you have a device that suddenly stops hitting. It’ll be even more surprising if you pull a brand-new Esco Bar out of the package only to find that it doesn’t seem to work at all.
What can you do if your Esco Bar isn’t working? It’s very rare to buy an Esco Bar device that’s completely non-functional – that’s one of the reasons why the brand is so popular. In most cases, you can get your device working by doing one or two simple things – and if you can’t, it probably means that your Esco Bar has reached the end of its normal life.
So, what is the normal life of an Esco Bar vape? That’s where we’ll begin.

How Long Do Esco Bars Last?
Esco Bars vary in their capacities, but most models last somewhere between 2,500 and 6,000 puffs. It’s important to understand what these capacities mean, though, in order to avoid disappointment if you have a device that seems to die early. The puff number displayed on an Esco Bar’s box is based on the volume of e-liquid in the device and on the amount of e-liquid you’re likely to consume with a puff lasting about one second. Companies often use automatic smoking machines to calculate this.
If you take short puffs when using your Esco Bar – and if you only vape when you would have smoked a cigarette and don’t use your device constantly throughout the day – you should find that the device lasts about one day for every 200-300 puffs. If you’re a heavier vaper, though, your device won’t last as long.
Esco Bar Blinking? Try Recharging It
If an Esco Bar blinks when you try to vape, it means that the battery is dead. Before you discard your device, though, you should check for a USB port. Many Esco Bars have rechargeable batteries because their e-liquid supplies are so large. A rechargeable battery ensures that you can use your device’s entire supply of vape juice. If you have an Esco Bar with a USB port, you can recharge the device by connecting it to your computer’s USB port. The device’s light will turn off or change to green when the battery is fully charged.
If you have an Esco Bar without a USB port, it’s time to dispose of it when the light blinks because the battery is dead.
Esco Bar Not Hitting? Make Sure You’ve Unpacked it Properly
If you have a brand-new Esco Bar that’s not hitting, you might be concerned that you’ve purchased a faulty device. That, however, is probably not the case. It’s more likely that you haven’t prepared the device for its first use. A high-capacity disposable vape contains a lot of e-liquid, and manufacturers use a variety of different techniques to ensure that the devices won’t leak in their packages. Before using your Esco Bar for the first time, make sure that you’ve removed the silicone plug from the mouthpiece. You should also check for a sticker on the bottom of the device and remove it if you find one. Until you do those things, the device will not work.
Esco Bar Not Charging? It Could Be a Bad Cable
Esco Bars don’t include charging cables because consumers expect the devices to be affordable. If every device included a USB cable, you’d have to pay extra for them and would eventually have a bunch of extra charging cables with no purpose. That means you’ll need to charge your Esco Bar with one of your own cables – and USB cables don’t exactly have a good reputation for reliability. Most of them are manufactured extremely cheaply, and internal damage – which you can’t see from the outside – can stop them from delivering power.
If an Esco Bar doesn’t light up when you try to charge it, the first thing that you should do is try using a different USB cable. If it still doesn’t charge, make sure that the device’s port doesn’t have lint or dirt inside it.
Esco Bar Tastes Burnt? It Could Be Out of Vape Juice
Do you have an Esco Bar that’s suddenly producing a burnt flavor with every puff after working normally for a few days? When that happens, it usually means that the device is out of e-liquid; it’s time to replace it.
If your Esco Bar is producing a burnt flavor intermittently, it might not be out of e-liquid yet – the problem could be that you’re puffing on it constantly without pausing to let the device’s wick refresh itself. When you puff on your vape, the inner part of the wick – which is right next to the heating coil – dries out. It takes a few seconds for more e-liquid to flow in from the outer part of the wick. If you don’t wait for that do happen, you’ll experience a “dry hit.”
Esco Bar Not Lasting Long? Make Sure You Don’t Have a Fake
If you’ve followed the advice in this article about taking shorter puffs and only vaping when you truly need the nicotine, you should have no trouble getting several days of use out of your Esco Bars. If your devices aren’t lasting long, they might be counterfeit. Esco Bar is one of the most popular brands in the vaping industry, so fake Esco Bars do exist and are probably on the shelves at many convenience stores today. Always buy your Esco Bars from a reliable vape shop. If a device seems to have blurry or washed-out printing on the package, you should strongly suspect that it could be counterfeit.
