Understanding your Yocan vape's LED indicators can save you time and frustration. When your device blinks, it's communicating important information about its status, from low battery warnings to connection errors. This guide covers every LED blink pattern across Yocan's product lineup.
How to Use This Guide
LED blink codes vary slightly between Yocan device categories:
- 510 Box Mods (UNI series, Kodo series) - Use LED colors and blink patterns for voltage and status
- Dry Herb Vaporizers (Vane 2, Hit 2) - Use LEDs to show heating status and temperature
- Concentrate Devices (Pillar, Orbit, Black Celestial 2) - Use LEDs for heating cycles and errors
Find your device category below, or use the quick reference table for common codes that apply to most Yocan devices.
Universal Codes (All Yocan Devices)
These blink patterns are consistent across nearly all Yocan vaporizers:
LED Indicator Guide
Five rapid clicks of the power button toggles the device on or off. You'll see 5 quick flashes to confirm.
The device automatically stops firing after 10-15 seconds of continuous use. Wait a moment and try again.
A slow, steady pulse while connected to power indicates the device is charging normally.
A solid, non-blinking light while plugged in means the battery is fully charged. Disconnect from power.
Rapid continuous flashing indicates the battery is critically low. Charge immediately.
510 Box Mods (UNI & Kodo Series)
Yocan's 510-threaded battery mods use LED indicators for voltage levels, connection status, and errors.
Voltage Level Indicators
Most UNI and Kodo devices show voltage settings through LED colors:
LED Indicator Guide
Best for flavor and terpene preservation. Ideal for ceramic cartridges and thin oils.
Balanced setting for everyday use. Good vapor production with decent flavor.
Maximum vapor production. Best for thick oils or when you want bigger clouds.
Connection & Error Codes
LED Indicator Guide
The device can't detect a cartridge or there's a connection problem. Clean 510 threads, check the magnetic adapter, and ensure your cartridge is properly seated.
Double-click activates preheat mode. The LED will pulse during the 10-15 second preheat cycle.
On certain models, triple-clicking cycles through voltage settings. Watch the LED color change.
UNI Series Specifics
The UNI Pro 2.0 and UNI 3 series feature OLED displays that show exact voltage readings, but the LED still provides quick visual feedback:
- LED while firing - Shows current voltage color (blue/green/red)
- LED flashing during adjustment - Confirms voltage change
- Display + LED combination - OLED shows exact numbers, LED shows at-a-glance status

Kodo Series Specifics
Kodo devices are more compact and use simpler LED patterns:
- Single LED - Shows power status and voltage level by color
- Button press - LED illuminates while firing
- Low profile design - LED may be less visible; check in dim lighting

Dry Herb Vaporizers (Vane 2 & Hit 2)
Dry herb vaporizers use LEDs primarily to indicate heating status and temperature:
LED Indicator Guide
The LED pulses or cycles colors while the chamber heats to your selected temperature. Wait for solid light before inhaling.
A solid, steady light means the device has reached target temperature. You can begin your session.
Different LED colors indicate different temperature presets. Check your specific model's manual for exact color meanings.
Vane 2 LED Colors
The Vane 2 uses a color system to show temperature levels:
| LED Color | Temperature Range | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Green | Low (~356°F) | Flavor, light effects |
| Blue | Medium (~392°F) | Balanced experience |
| Red | High (~428°F) | Maximum extraction |
Hit 2 LED Indicators
The Hit 2 features similar color-coded temperature settings with haptic feedback:
- Device vibrates when target temperature is reached
- LED color corresponds to the four preset temperatures
- Pulsing indicates heating; solid indicates ready

Concentrate Devices (Pillar, Orbit, Black Celestial 2)
Concentrate vaporizers use LEDs for heating cycle feedback and mode selection:
LED Indicator Guide
LED animation indicates the device is in an active heating cycle. Wait for it to complete or press to cancel.
Different colors represent different heat profiles. Lower colors (blue/green) for flavor, higher colors (red/white) for intensity.
Similar to 510 devices, 3 blinks indicates the device can't detect the atomizer. Check coil connection and cleanliness.
Pillar E-Rig
The Pillar features an advanced LED ring that provides visual feedback:
- Startup sequence - LED ring animation when powering on
- Temperature selection - Colors correspond to the 4 heat settings
- Active cycle - LED indicates time remaining in the heat cycle
- Ready indicator - Solid glow when at temperature
Orbit & Black Celestial 2
These devices use similar LED patterns:
- Heating indicator - LED shows when coil is active
- Battery status - LED color or blink pattern shows charge level
- Error states - Rapid blinking for connection issues

| Blue/Green/Red solid | Voltage level | 510 mods | Indicates current setting |
| 2 rapid blinks | Preheat activated | 510 mods | Wait for preheat to complete |
| Color cycling | Heating up | Dry herb/concentrates | Wait for solid color |
| Solid color | At temperature | Dry herb/concentrates | Ready to use |
Troubleshooting by Symptom
"My Yocan won't turn on"
- Check the battery - Connect to charger and look for charging indicator
- Verify click pattern - Must be exactly 5 rapid clicks within 2 seconds
- Clean connections - Debris can prevent proper contact
- Try different cable - USB cable may be faulty
- Wait and retry - If overheated, device may need to cool down
"My Yocan keeps blinking and won't fire"
- Count the blinks - Different numbers mean different issues
- 3 blinks - Check cartridge connection, clean 510 threads
- 10 blinks - Safety cutoff; take shorter draws
- Continuous flash - Charge the battery
- Try different cartridge - Rule out a faulty atomizer
"My Yocan is blinking but I didn't press anything"
- Check if charging - Slow pulse while plugged in is normal
- Button stuck - Clean around the button
- Auto-shutoff - Device may be turning itself off after inactivity
- Firmware issue - Rare, but some devices may need reset
"LED won't turn off"
- Charging indicator - Normal while connected to power
- Stuck in mode - Try 5 clicks to power cycle
- Button issue - Ensure button isn't stuck or jammed
- Contact support - May indicate hardware issue
Maintenance Tips for Reliable LED Function
Keep your Yocan device communicating clearly:
- Clean 510 threads weekly - Use isopropyl alcohol on a cotton swab
- Don't over-tighten cartridges - Hand-tight only
- Store properly - Avoid extreme temperatures
- Update firmware - Some models support updates that improve LED feedback
- Replace coils/atomizers - Worn coils cause connection errors
