A Guide To Battery Safety

Vapes are often powered by lithium-ion batteries, which are known to explode/ combust when damaged or charged incorrectly. Refer to our handy guide to help keep your vape batteries as safe as possible. 

Batteries

Use special caution when working with Li-ion cells, they are very sensitive to charging characteristics and may explode or burn if mishandled.  Make sure the user has enough knowledge of Li-ion rechargeable batteries in charging, discharging and assembly before use. Always charge in/on a fire-proof surface.

Never leave charging batteries unattended or charging overnight. Never continue to use an e-cigarette type device if you can feel the battery get hot. If your battery gets hot to the touch, or if it begins smelling: DO NOT USE IT ANYMORE. Let it cool down (1 hour) in a safe environment (outside preferably), and then dispose of correctly, or decide to return, if still under warranty. If your e-cigarette or device begins activating itself, immediately remove your atomiser and disconnect the battery.

DO NOT trust the battery, nor the atomiser anymore from this point on. This means never leave either of the components connected in your pocket, in your nightstand, or out of visibility where you can not immediately separate the two components. Read the information found at: www.batteryuniversity.com before purchasing. It is important to carry batteries properly, charge properly, and dispose of properly. ECIGW Ltd are not responsible for damage if there is any modification of the batteries/chargers in any form or shape (including pack making).

We recommend storing your batteries in plastic battery covers to stop them from coming into contact with other metals. Accidental contact between other batteries and metal items can cause a short circuit, putting the battery at risk of exploding. 

When storing your batteries you should ensure they are kept away from any metal items like coins, keys, and other batteries. Also make sure to keep your batteries out of direct sunlight and away from any flammable substances or materials like aerosols, and fabrics.  

ECIGW Ltd are not responsible for any damage caused by misuse or mishandling of Li-Ion batteries and chargers. ECIGW Ltd will not be held responsible or liable for any injury, damage, or defect, permanent or temporary that may be caused by the use of any batteries.

Vape Battery Charging

You should also take caution when charging your vapes battery, as using an incorrect/ damaged charger can also affect the battery. Check out our charging tips below:

  • If your vape came with a cable you should always ensure you use the original cable, unless damaged. 

 

  • Use a 5V/1A USB port.

 

  • Avoid fast-charging wall adapters.

 

  • Remove external batteries.

 

  • Avoid extreme temperatures.

 

  • Check the charger for damage and dirt before use. 

 

  • Charge on a fireproof surface; concrete, stone, glass etc. 

Vape Coils

It is important to use a battery that is compatible with your vapes coils and mods(if applicable). Ohm`s Law is helpful when working out the battery wattage, coil resistance, and the vapes current. If any of these values are not within safe limits you may burn the coil, damage the battery, and cause the vape to be unsafe to use.
