Help! i need to fix my vape

[dfw-guy]

I have a fuji vaporizer (the volcano knockoff) and it does not heat up anymore. I don't have a multimeter to test the board but everything seems to be working fine. I'm pretty sure the heating element is burnt out because its all warped on the top. Here's a pic.


Does anyone know what this is called or where to get one??? If you can help me fix this you'll be saving me a lot of money! I've been looking all over google w/ the search terms "ceramic heating element" and other variants but I cant seem to find anything.

Ok I found the answer to my problem. I'm not deleting this thread in case someone else needs the answer. The heating element is called a Cartridge Heater. Good quality aluminum ones cost about $30 and can easily be found through a google search. The one I needed is 1/4" diameter 1 1/4 in length 120V 40W.

EDIT to my earlier post. The specifications for the cartridge heater are 3/8" diameter, 1 1/4-1/2" length, 120V AC, 40watt.

The vaporizer has a pump in it, thats what pushes air into the bag. If it's not making any noise then it may be broken. If you have some electronic skills then go ahead and open it up and get a closer look. The warranty doesn't mean anything since the company seems to be fake lol. No but really its just some random china thing and I haven't found any links to the company w/ google searches.

Cartridge heaters are kind of difficult to obtain since they are mostly needed for industrial purposes. Here is a link to one of the many sellers on the internet. They have the right size, length, and voltage available but not the correct wattage. The fuji comes with a crappy 40watt ceramic cartridge heater. They sell 30 and 50 watt. I would definitely go with the 50 watt, you just won't need to turn it up as much to get the correct heat. The part number is CIR-2018/120V.

be careful taking it apart, it's kinda tricky. First you screw off the white clay cap that's on the top. Then take out the 4 small screws on the bottom. Do not loosen the big center screw. You should be able to figure it out from there.
