Whether you’ve just bought your first vape juice or are a seasoned vaper having trouble with a tricky bottle – this guide will take you through how to open vape juice bottles.

If your vape juice bottle won’t open, try the step-by-step process below first:

1. Hold the bottle of e-liquid with one hand and push down on the cap with the other hand.
2. As you push down on the cap, turn it counterclockwise.
3. Continue to turn the cap until you have unscrewed it from the bottle.

When you want to close the bottle back up, simply reverse the steps above. Place the lid back onto the bottle, push down and turn clockwise. Once you’ve closed the bottle, try to open it without pushing down on the lid to check that it’s secure.

Following these steps should help you unscrew the lid from your vape juice bottle. If this hasn’t worked, read on to find out why it might not be opening, and ways to resolve the issue.

Can’t Open Vape Juice Bottle - Why Won’t It Open?

Vape liquid bottles have a safety lock, so you usually need to push the lid to open it. The government of the United Kingdom needs all items with nicotine to have safe packaging for children. This is why e-liquid bottles have a safety lock.

The nicotine products also need to be free from tampering to be compliant with regulations. This safety measure assures that the product was not tampered with before usage. If you see that the seal on the bottle is broken before you open it for the first time, do not use the product. Get in touch with the retailer where you bought it to inform them.

How to Open Vape Juice Bottle When Stuck

Sometimes, you can do everything right and still find that the vape juice bottle won’t open. If this is the case, you might be pushing too hard on the lid. Try easing up the pressure when you’re pushing down and see if this works.

Another reason your vape juice bottle won’t open is that the security seals aren’t breaking as designed. If this is the case, try using a thin, blunt object (such as a ballpoint pen) to press on the security seals and snap them. Once you’ve snapped these security seals, try using the step-by-step process above, which should hopefully open the bottle.
