NeXLIM 2: Screen shows 'TEMP HIGH' or device feels hot
Written by Vape & E-Liquid Team Last updated
The screen displays 'TEMP HIGH' and the device stops firing or feels warm to the touch. This is a built-in safety protection triggered when the internal circuit board temperature gets too high.
Why this happens
- The PCBA (printed circuit board assembly) temperature has exceeded the safe operating threshold, triggering the TEMP HIGH protection cut-off
- Extended or back-to-back vaping sessions generating heat faster than the device can dissipate it
- Use in a warm environment or while the device has been left in direct sunlight or a hot pocket
How to fix it
- Stop vaping immediately and power the device off using the fire button
- Set it down somewhere cool and well-ventilated, away from direct sunlight or heat sources
- Wait 5 to 10 minutes for the internal temperature to drop before attempting to use it again
- Once cooled, power the device back on. The TEMP HIGH warning should be gone and the device should fire normally
- If the warning returns quickly after normal use, try spacing out your puffs to allow the device more time to cool between draws
- If TEMP HIGH appears repeatedly even after adequate cooling breaks, or the device feels unusually hot during light use, stop using it and contact OXVA support or your retailer
Replacement pods and coils
Worn pods and coils cause most of these faults. We stock the parts that fit the NeXLIM 2.
Other NeXLIM 2 problems
- Device not turning on You press the fire button and nothing happens. The device shows no lights and produces no vapour.
- Screen shows 'NO POD' or device not detecting the pod The screen displays 'NO POD' and the device will not fire. The pod is physically seated in the device but is not being recognised.
- Screen shows 'SHORT' or short circuit warning The screen displays 'SHORT' and the device stops firing. This is the built-in short circuit protection cutting in to keep you safe.
- Screen shows 'TIMEOUT' and device stops firing The screen displays 'TIMEOUT' and the device stops producing vapour mid-puff. This happens when a single puff runs longer than 8 seconds.
