How can I safely charge a disposable vape?

Batteries are the heart of any best disposable vapes. So, it is very important to charge them in the right way.  There are some speculations about incorrect charging.  Any vape kit, vape pod, vape device or for the matter, disposables have a built-in battery. The batteries help them to vaporise the e-liquid and decide the length of you vaping session.  In this guide, we will let you know exactly how to ensure the right steps to recharge your battery.

Why Do Disposable Vapes Need Charging?

Every disposable comes in a ready-to-use package. You can just use it directly from the box without any setup required. Due to higher puff count, some disposable vapes need to be recharged after reaching their lower limit. This extends the life span of disposables and giving you more time in each device.

Kind of disposable vapes based on charging.

1. Rechargeable: Yes! you heard it right. Unlike the traditional disposables where you find no recharging, modern disposables come with the option of recharging. You will find this in most of the disposables where puff count is more than 3000-5000 puffs. Thinking with common sense it is right to have a rechargeable battery for higher puff count because to make the devices at an affordable price and thus ensuring disposable vape price to be low.

Disposable battery safety:

How can I safely charge your vape kit? Charging your vape batteries is a fairly straightforward process that you can master seamlessly, but you should always consider the problems that can arise.

1) Avoiding Fake Devices and Charging Them

The biggest problem most people run into when vaping is buying a fake device, and then charging it. The fake manufacturing industry has absolutely no health and safety standards, so these rule breakers will often fill their devices with illegal liquid and faulty batteries that are ill-suited to the requirements of the vape device. The risks associated with these batteries are heating issues, irregular battery levels dropping, fire, explosion while charging, device explosion during usage and many more.

It is never safe to use a fake product. Your safety is our primary concern. You may additionally take the chance to report these products. The same extends to vape pods, vape kits, and any other hardware.

2) Don’t Charge Overnight & Don’t Leave Your Kit Unattended

This is a common problem we see. Leaving the device to charge overnight and leaving the device unattended while charging. Users do this as a convenience but do not realise how it affects batteries. These practices may drain the capacity of the battery and shorten the usage period. This applies to any kind of batteries including lead-acid batteries or lithium-ion batteries.

This can also be problematic for your device because the battery may have leaked, or the cable may be faulty. For this reason, we recommend that you never leave your device unattended for extended periods of time. Batteries of any kind are toxic - not just large lead acid batteries. As such, you should always watch the battery level and contemplate if the battery voltage is safe.

3) Don’t Use Your Vape When it's Charging

It is always a mental game to stop vaping during the downtime or during emergency battery down. You are going to get curious when to puff again. The more you hold down the better! Vaping while charging makes the battery volatile and drains the maximum capacity of the battery and can lead to unnecessary heating.

4) Using a Charger that's Right for Your Device

The operating voltages are always on the box. It is important to make note of it and ensure to use a compatible charger and cable. Sometimes it is difficult to get an exact match and user may think of investing more money into it. In such cases you may choose to use a lower operating voltage cable, which could be a safe side for you.  This may lead to your device taking longer than normal time to charge but it is going to be a safe way. If you use a higher voltage or amps to charge the device, it may lead to swelling of the battery or heating.  You can also use the cable with a plug and charge through a wall socket, but it is important to choose the right plug. Fast charge plugs designed for smartphones have an output that is too high for vape kits, and this can actually be detrimental to the battery and even cause it to short. We recommend using a plug that has a 1-amp output or less.

How Long Does It Take to Charge a Disposable Vape?

Depending on battery capacity and fast charging option in your disposable,you may need 30 minutes to 2 hours. Some disposables come with light indicators to show the level of battery in the device both during charging and usage.  Also remember not allowing the battery to regularly reach a full charge can cause the battery life to deplete much more rapidly and shorten the life of your device.

Signs Your Disposable Vape Needs Charging

The disposable device has a battery indicator it is an easy task. Else you can look at the below points

  • Low Vapor: If the vapor isn’t as strong as usual, it might be time to charge.
  • Flashing Light: Some vapes have a light that flashes when the battery is low.
  • No Response: If your vape doesn’t produce vapor at all, the battery might be dead.
  • Flavour Reduction: reduces flavour can also be the reason as batteries in low power do not produce enough power.
