My XLIM Pro 3's auto draw has stopped working. Have to press the button every time now. Tried cleaning the little sensor hole on the side with a cotton bud. Made no difference. Pod is fine, still fires on the button no problem.

Anyone know how to get the auto draw working again?

The auto-draw sensor can get blocked by moisture or condensation from the vapour. A cotton bud is a good start but try this: turn the device off, remove the pod, then take a few gentle puffs on the airflow hole (without the pod in) to clear any moisture. Leave it for 20-30 minutes to dry out.

Also check the small pinhole sensor on the side of the device isn't blocked with residue. A dry toothpick can help clear it without damaging anything. Avoid blowing forcefully into the device as that can push moisture deeper in.

Had this exact issue. Turned out I'd got some liquid near the sensor area when I was refilling. Left it upright without the pod for a couple of hours and it came back on its own. Worth trying before anything else.

Left it with the pod out for a few hours and it's back working. Must have got liquid in there when I refilled. Cheers for the tip, saved me a lot of stress!
