How To Make Sure You Have The Right Vape Batteries
The end of an era is fast approaching for vapers as the ban on the sale of single-use e-cigarettes looms large. From June 1st, you won’t be able to obtain these, and while our clearance sale of disposable vapes provides a chance to grab some late bargains, the need to adjust is unavoidable.
This means the future of vaping will be all about reusable devices with refillable cartridges, vape juice pods, chargers and replaceable batteries. Now is the time to get used to those, so you aren’t suddenly fiddling with a new and unfamiliar device the moment that your supply of disposables runs out and you are gasping for a nicotine hit.
Know Your Batteries
Vape batteries are something you will certainly need to pay attention to if you have been used to disposables. The single-use vapes you use are powered by lithium batteries, the 21st-century devices that can also be found in mobile phones, laptops and electric cars.
In those other devices, the batteries are rechargeable, but the issue with single-use vapes (indeed, one of the reasons for the ban) is that every time one is not disposed of properly, it means the lithium is lost, which is a big deal considering that its increasing use makes it an essential mineral of geopolitical importance (hence the proposed US-Ukraine minerals deal).
Lithium batteries are also a fire hazard when not disposed of properly, as they burn with greater intensity due to a self-sustaining action called thermal runaway if exposed to fire. This doesn’t mean they spontaneously combust, but they will contribute an extra incendiary element to any fire they are caught up in.
Re-usable vapes still use lithium batteries, but because you won’t be chucking out your vape as soon as you have used it, you can separate batteries out when they finally come to the end of their lives. However, by that time, you will have recharged them frequently and ensured countless times that you are not carelessly chucking lithium away.
Our Battery Products
Products include batteries like the Molicell P28A 2800mAh 18650 battery, which has between 200 and 500 cycles. This means it can last you for several months, even if you are a very frequent vaper, if not years.
This sort of capacity makes good lithium batteries a better bet than the kind of standard batteries you may have commonly used for electrical devices, such as mercury batteries (every one of which seems to have an irritatingly unique classification, which means they can never be replaced like-for-like) and the common AA or AAA batteries.
Such devices will also need the right charger and it is essential to get one suited to lithium batteries. Essentially, the trade-off is the potential if - but only if - the charger is wrong for the battery to pose a fire danger, whereas the output is more powerful and the number of recharges greatly exceeds that of a normal battery. With the right charger, you will be fine.
Other batteries include the Vapcell B30 Vape cell, which is ideal for vaping as it delivers a continuous 20A of power, with a maximum voltage of 4.2. This is also a lithium-ion battery.
Get The Right Charger
With the dedicated equipment and a charger such as the range we sell, some of which can conveniently charge multiple batteries at once, you need have no fears about finding the right charger and then you can enjoy the advantage of this cutting-edge battery technology.
Of course, every vaping device will be different, so it is important when ordering online to make sure that the device, the batteries and the charger all align. This is something you should take a little time to check out, although it is not a complex business as there are only so many battery types.
In no time at all, charging up your vaping device will be as familiar an action as charging your laptop or mobile phone, with all these devices having an indicator to show how much battery power you have.
True, you will have to get used to disposing of these batteries safely, as indeed you should be doing already if you have a reusable device, or do with a single-use device if those are what you have been using (and may continue to use while you can still get them).
The future is one of rechargeable vaping devices and batteries, with less waste but still the opportunity to take advantage of the capacity of vaping to help you quit smoking while also enjoying various flavours. The world won’t be ending on June 1st - just some wasteful practices that hamper our preservation of it.
