Posted by Sanjay Singh on May 13th, 2019

All batteries can explode, and it can happen with e-cigarette batteries too. Vape batteries are not the ordinary batteries like used in your television remote; they are powerful cells that require careful handling.

So if you follow the correct safety measures, electronic cigarette battery explosions are almost negligible- about 1 in 10 million. Therefore, read on to discover the basics of battery safety particularly geared towards beginning vapers using the 18650’s vapor technology. So to enjoy vaping safely, follow the tips:

• Ensure that Battery Wraps are Intact

Before you purchase a battery, make sure that the outside battery wrapping is intact and in perfect condition. If you notice any kind of a tear or nick, make sure that you get the battery rewrapped just to guarantee optimum safety. Battery wraps are quite cheap and easy to put on, and this is why most vape shops wrap your battery for free and it hardly takes a couple of minutes to do so.

• Use the Right Battery

Some batteries are preferable for low wattage vaping, while there are others better for sub-ohming, and there are some that aren’t supposed to be used for vaping at all. When choosing a battery for your mod, make sure that they come in the appropriate specifications. Avoid reading numbers on the battery wraps, as those often misguide you.

• Battery Case is Important

You cannot afford throwing batteries in your pockets or bags when not in use. Remember, it’s a battery; carelessness may bother you. This is why it is advised to get yourself a plastic battery case, as unprotected batteries might short circuit if they come in contact with any metal object. And in worst situations, it might also cause your battery to vent and potentially explode.

• Use a Good Charger

Charging your e-cigarette batteries in your mod is possible with electronic cigarettes, but it is always recommended to use a dedicated battery charger on safety front. A simple charger cannot cost you more than 60 ml bottle of e-juice. However, if you step up in your price limit, added features like battery data and health monitoring can further enhance your vaping experience.

To conclude with, always recycle your old batteries instead of throwing them away. A lithium-ion cell can easily cause a short-circuit inside a trash can, which is quite a serious hazard risk. Therefore, consider recycling your old batteries as doing so is beneficial for our environment.
