Vaping battery safety for regulated mods


From pod mods to box mods — all vaping gadgets come with batteries. And this means that there is a risk, though very small, of something going wrong. The worst case scenario here would be a battery explosion — and nobody wants that.

There are two main causes of battery problems: low quality vaping gadgets and poor battery maintenance habits. The best way to make sure your battery works well and your vaping sessions are safe is to take proper care of your battery.

Regulated mods feature a circuit board to regulate the current and come with built-in or removable batteries. These types of devices are most suitable for rookie vapers. You will be able to make small adjustments to the wattage and voltage — but the current will be controlled preventing damage to your battery. With that, there are still a few things to watch out for.

Buy quality gadgets. Make sure your device comes with a full set of safety features onboard:
short-circuit, overtime, overcharge, overheat, low power, no load, etc.

Stick to the amperage limit. One of the key battery safety rules is to never exceed the amp ratings of your battery. Your vaping device may give you the option to draw extra power — but it’s best not to use it. Vaping at higher amperage may lead to your battery overheating, which is potentially dangerous.

Pay attention when using your mod. As most portable mods’ batteries come with very weak safety encasing, it’s important to avoid dropping them on hard surfaces. If you have dropped your vaping device and it’s malfunctioning, place it in a thick container and dispose of it via a recycling waste bin.

Use suitable coils. Make sure you are using the coils that match your device. Read the manual for your vaping gadget and contact the device manufacturer for advice if needed and never use a coil that does not match your device’s power range.

Store your mod in a safe place. Never leave your mod next to flammable material or open fire. Make sure it stays away from extreme heat or cold and out of the reach of children and pets.

Don’t overcharge and use original charging gear. Check the power requirements for your device and make sure you use a suitable power outlet — especially when traveling. It’s strongly recommended not to leave your vaping gadget to charge overnight: while most devices will automatically cut off the power supply when they are fully charged, if this feature malfunctions, overcharging becomes dangerous. It’s also advised to use the original charging cable and charger that came with your device.

Make sure to get compatible batteries. If you are using a mod with removable batteries, make sure to buy suitable replacements when it’s time to change your battery as there are several types of batteries commonly used in vaping mods: IMR, ICR, LiPo, etc.

Don’t let the batteries loose. If you carrying replacement batteries with you, put them in a padded case where they are separated from each other. If the batteries are loose in your bag, they come into contact with each other or other metallic objects, which will result in leakage.

At any time, if you have questions regarding battery safety or feel that there is something wrong with your device, stop using it and contact your device manufacturer.

The Basics of Cloud Chasing

图片
Cloud chasing is a natural and indispensable part of vaping culture. Blowing aromatic clouds and setting up your kit for maximum vapor has grown into an art — and cloud chasing competitions do gather quite a crowd. If you are new to the idea of cloud chasing (as most new vapers are), we hope this mini-guide will shed some light on what cloud chasing is and how to set up your kit for maximum vapor (should you want to). How Did Cloud Chasing Start? We don't know exactly how and when Cloud chasing started. Some people say that it originated on the West Coast but there is no way to either confirm or disprove that for now. Wherever and whenever it may have started it has now taken over vaping communities all over the world. Some adore it, some find it arrogant. But despite the different opinions, cloud chasing is most probably here to stay. More than that, it has even become a sport. While coming blow vapor clouds for fun, some look at it as a career opportunity. National and intern...

What is the highest nicotine strength available?

This depends on what device you are using and the type of e-liquid as well.  The highest nic strengths available these days are probably in nic salt pods that can go up to 50mg and sometimes even higher. These work with low wattage devices, like pod mods. In general, if you want to vape at high nicotine strengths, you will need a low wattage device. Vaping 50mg vape juice on a sub-ohm device is simply not a good idea.  Another factor here is where you live. Some countries put restrictions on nicotine strengths. For instance, in the UK, the max nicotine concentration in e-liquid is restricted to no more than 20mg. As mentioned above, you can also DIY your own e-juice. But this is recommended for advanced vapers only and, even in this case, it's strongly advised not to go above the  50mg nicotine level.

What happens if you try to vape on a plane?

Can you vape on a plane? The answer to the question is a strict “no”. Vaping on a plane is strictly prohibited, just like smoking. And if you try to sneak in a puff during a flight, you will get yourself in quite a bit of trouble. However, this has not deterred some determined vapers from trying to vape mid-flight. Quite recently, a passenger on a Spirit Airlines flight set off a smoke alarm in the plane’s bathroom while vaping. The flight number 985 was going from Detroit to New Orleans when one of the passengers first tried to smoke an e-cigarette in his seat and blowing the vapor into a plastic bag. The same passenger went on to attempt vaping in the plane's bathroom, which set off the smoke detectors. When informed that vaping on a plane was illegal, the passenger replied he had no idea such rules were in place. The airline did not consider this a valid enough reason and struck the man with a lifetime ban for flying with Spirit Airlines. Even some celebrities seem ...
