Batteries

 The best vape battery depends on your device and preferred vaping style. The three most common vape batteries are known as 18650, 20700 and 21700. Each has different capabilities:

• 18650 vape batteries have a capacity of 2,000-3,500mAh and are great options for everyday vaping.
• 20700 vape batteries have a capacity of 3,000-4,200mAh and are ideal for high-wattage kits.
• 21700 vape batteries have a capacity of 3,500-5,000mAh and are perfect for high-performance mods needing longer-lasting power.

 Vape batteries are lithium-ion and should be disposed of safely. A vape battery shouldn’t be discarded with regular household rubbish because it can leak harmful chemicals and pose a significant fire risk. 

Instead, vape batteries should be taken to an electrical recycling facility. You can find the closest one here.

 Most UK airlines allow you to take up to two lithium-ion batteries in your carry-on bag, but always double check before you fly. For more information about travelling with vape batteries, read our guide: Can You Take Vapes Abroad?

 The lifespan of a vape battery depends on various factors; charging habits, vaping preferences and battery capacity can all play a part in how long vape batteries last. As a general rule of thumb, vape batteries last between 6 and 12 months before needing to be replaced.

 If your vape device has removable batteries, you can replace them. Be sure to use the correct size and type for your vape mod and follow the instructions outlined by the manufacturer to maintain battery health.

 Battery life between charges depends on the capacity and your vaping preferences. A fully charged 18650 vape battery can last anywhere from a few hours to a full day, depending on how often you use it and the inhalation method you use. Sub ohm vape kits have to do a lot more work to produce the level of vapour you want, which inevitably drains the battery a lot quicker than mouth-to-lung (MTL) vaping styles.

 Vape batteries are safe to use when following the manufacturer's instructions. Following proper battery safety guidelines helps to prevent overheating and short circuits to keep your battery working efficiently and effectively.

Remember not to leave your vape batteries charging either overnight or unattended. Always unplug a vape battery when it’s fully charged to avoid damage, and store it in a cool, dry location.
