Batteries & Charging
Most larger vape mods use removable lithium-ion cells (like 18650, 20700 or 21700 batteries), while pods and smaller kits usually have built-in rechargeable lithium batteries.
No. You should avoid charging overnight or leaving a vape unattended while charging — this helps prevent overheating or battery issues.
It’s not recommended, especially with built-in batteries, because charging causes heat buildup and using the device at the same time can stress the battery and reduce its lifespan.
Yes — always use the original charger or a reputable branded replacement designed for your model. Avoid cheap third-party chargers and adapters that aren’t intended for vape batteries.
For best battery health:
- Recharge before they drop to very low levels.
- Ideally charge around 20–30% remaining capacity rather than letting the battery go completely flat.
Internal batteries in pods/mods usually last 12–18 months depending on use, charging habits and device type. External batteries also have limited life cycles (typically hundreds of full charges) before they lose capacity.
Keep spare batteries in a plastic or silicone battery case, in a cool dry place, and away from metal objects (like keys or coins) to prevent short circuits.
If your mod uses two (or more) external batteries, it’s best to keep the same pair together (don’t mix old and new, or different brands) — this helps ensure even performance and reduces stress on the cells.
Replace a battery if you notice:
- Rapid power drain
- Overheating
- Shorter life
- Physical damage
- Warping or bulging
These are signs the battery is no longer safe or effective.
Battery explosions are very rare but can occur if batteries are damaged, short-circuited, overheated, charged improperly or exposed to extreme conditions. Proper care and using compatible, quality chargers helps minimise risk.
