How do I charge and store a vape device safely?
Charge with the cable and adapter intended for the device, on a hard surface, while you are awake and nearby. Do not leave a device charging overnight or in a hot car, and stop using any battery whose wrap is torn or that gets unusually hot.
- Use a USB-C cable and a normal low-amp adapter, not a fast car charger
- Never charge unattended or on a bed or sofa
- Keep loose 18650 cells in a case, never with keys or coins
- Store devices out of direct sun — Goa's heat shortens battery life
Charging rules
- Charge on a hard, non-flammable surface
- Unplug once the indicator shows a full charge
- Replace frayed cables rather than bending them into place
- If a device becomes hot to hold while charging, unplug it and stop using it
Looking after 18650 and removable cells
- Carry cells in a plastic battery case, never loose in a pocket or bag
- Retire any cell with a torn or nicked wrap — a re-wrap is a repair, not a fix for damage
- Use cells in matched pairs in dual-battery devices, charged together
- Do not mix brands or capacities in one device
Heat, humidity and coastal storage
High ambient temperature is the main enemy of any lithium battery. Keep devices out of parked vehicles and off windowsills, and avoid leaving a device in a beach bag in direct sun. Humidity mostly affects the charge port — keep it dry and free of sand before plugging in.

- Can I charge a vape with a phone fast charger?
- Use the adapter recommended for the device. A high-output charger can push more current than a small vape battery is designed to take.
- Is it safe to leave a vape charging overnight?
