Whether you’re new to vaping or a seasoned cloud chaser, proper vape safety and maintenance are essential for ensuring not only the longevity of your device but also your health and overall vaping experience. Neglecting upkeep can lead to poor performance, burnt coils, and even potential safety hazards—none of which are ideal when you’re trying to enjoy your favourite e-liquid.
So, how can you keep your vape kit in top condition? Let’s explore some practical tips and highlight a few of our top-selling advanced kits that deliver both power and reliability.
Most advanced vape kits use rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, which need proper care:
- Use the right charger: Always charge your batteries with the manufacturer’s recommended charger. Avoid third-party or fast chargers, as they may overheat the battery.
- Inspect regularly: Check for tears or damage on battery wraps. Replace damaged batteries immediately.
- Store safely: Never carry loose batteries in your pocket or bag. Use battery cases to avoid accidental discharges or short circuits.
- Don’t overcharge: Unplug once fully charged to avoid stressing the battery over time.
Clean your device regularly
Residue build-up can affect performance and flavour. Aim to clean your device every few days, especially if you’re switching flavours or notice a burnt taste.
- Tank/clearomiser: Rinse with warm water, or use isopropyl alcohol for deep cleaning. Dry thoroughly before use.
- Coils: Replace every 1–2 weeks, depending on usage. A burnt taste or reduced vapour is a clear sign it’s time. Read our guide on how to know when your pod or coil needs changing.
- Mouthpiece: Wipe with a cloth or cotton bud to remove any e-liquid build-up or dust.
How to store e-liquids properly
To keep your e-liquids fresh and flavoursome:
- Store in a cool, dark place, away from sunlight and heat.
- Keep bottles sealed tightly to avoid oxidation.
- Follow expiry dates and avoid using expired e-liquid for the best experience.
