The Viho Turbo is a disposable vape that’s loaded with features and packaged in a stylish shell that looks a bit like a sports car. It’s everything that you could ever want if you’re a serious vaping aficionado – and as an added benefit, it has helpful indicator lights for the battery and the e-liquid supply. When one of the white lights turns orange, it means that your device needs attention.
What do the lights mean on a Viho Turbo vape? In this guide, we’ll explain everything that you need to know.
What Are the Two Lights on the Viho Turbo?
When you look at the front panel of the Viho Turbo – the panel with the “Viho” logo and the flavor name – you’ll see two lights that both illuminate as you use the device.
- The battery indicator is on the right and has a lightning bolt icon above it.
- The e-liquid indicator is on the left and has a drop icon above it.
When you first start using the Viho Turbo, both lights illuminate white each time you puff on the device. The lights stay on for a moment when you stop puffing, which allows you to see their colors.
What Does It Mean When the Battery Light Turns Orange?
When the battery light on the Viho Turbo turns orange, it means that the battery has a remaining charge of less than 10 percent, and you’ll need to recharge the device soon. When the battery light blinks, it means that the battery is dead, so vaping is no longer possible.
You can charge the Viho Turbo by connecting it to your computer with a USB cable. The battery light should turn on while the Viho Turbo charges and turn off again when the charge cycle is complete. The Viho Turbo has a battery capacity of 850 mAh, so charging the battery will take approximately 51 minutes.
What Should I Do if My Viho Turbo Isn’t Charging?
If the light doesn’t turn on when you connect the Viho Turbo to your computer, it either means that the battery isn’t charging or that it’s fully charged already. Obviously, it’s easy to tell the difference because your device won’t work if the battery is dead. If you can’t charge your Viho Turbo, here’s what you should do.
- Try charging the Viho Turbo with a different USB cable. If you’re using the same cable to charge all of your portable devices – and you’ve been using that cable for a while – there’s a good chance that its internal structure has begun to weaken. The result is that the cable will become more and more unreliable until you finally need to replace it because it no longer works at all. The cable may have reached that point.
- Clean the USB port. The easiest way to do this is by using a toothpick to remove lint and other contaminants from the port. Remember that if things are stuck in a device’s charging port, the device probably won’t charge at the correct speed – and that’s if it charges at all.
- Use a different power source. Ideally, you should always charge the Viho Turbo with your computer for best performance. If you don’t have a computer available, you should use a wall adapter that operates at 5 volts with a current of 1 amp or lower. Using a high-speed wall adapter like the one included with your smartphone could cause overheating, or it could cause your device not to charge at all.
What Does It Mean When the E-Liquid Light Turns Orange?
When the e-liquid light on your Viho Turbo turns orange, it means that the device estimates the remaining e-liquid supply to be less than 10 percent. In this case, you don’t need to take any immediate action but should plan to replace the device within about a day.
You’re probably wondering how many puffs your Viho Turbo has left when the e-liquid light turns orange. Given that the Viho Turbo is advertised to have 10,000 puffs, that probably means you have around 1,000 puffs left, right?
Unfortunately, it isn’t quite that simple. The reason is because the Viho Turbo – like all disposable vapes with e-liquid meters – bases the e-liquid light on an estimate rather than an actual sensor. In other words, your device has no way of knowing exactly how much vape juice is left. Instead, its programming includes an algorithm that “guesses” when the e-liquid supply is low based on how long the device has been in use.
In addition to that, it’s unlikely that you’ll actually get 10,000 puffs out of the Viho Turbo in the first place. Manufacturers like to put big numbers on their vapes because that helps the products stand out on shelves. Because they want their devices to sell, they often exaggerate the puff counts a bit. It might be possible to get 10,000 puffs out of a Viho Turbo if your average puff length is a half second or so, but that’s not how most people vape.
In short, when the e-liquid light on your Viho Turbo turns orange, it’s possible that you have less than a full day of vaping remaining and should make sure that you have a new device ready to go.
How Can I Make the Viho Turbo Last Longer?
Reading this article, you’ve learned everything about what the lights are on a Viho Turbo vape, what they mean and what you need to do when they change color. When the battery light is orange, it means that it’s nearly time to charge the device. When the e-liquid light is orange, it’s nearly time for a new vape – and that’s all there is to it.
With all of those things being said, you’re probably wondering what you can do to make a Viho Turbo last longer. That way, you won’t need to buy new vapes quite as often. The simplest way to get more days of use out of your Viho Turbo is by thinking more like a smoker when you use your device. A cigarette lasts about 10-15 puffs before burning out, and there are 20 cigarettes in a pack. Therefore, if you hit your Viho Turbo no more than 300 times a day, you’re consuming about the same amount of nicotine that a smoker would.
Try keeping track of your daily puffs for a while and see how close you are to 300 per day. If you’re over that, it might be a good idea to consider cutting back a bit. If you’re around that number, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t get several days of use out of a Viho Turbo.
