HERE ARE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO VAPING SAFELY
Vaping has been increasing rapidly in popularity in recent years. One reason is that it is believed to be much better for your health than smoking cigarettes, and the fact that you don’t need to use a naked flame or leave cigarettes or lighters hanging around to vape increases the fire safety of vaping over traditional smoking, too. However, you still need to make sure that you follow safety instructions and guidelines to avoid hazards. Here is our ultimate guide to vaping safely.
USE THE MANUFACTURER’S CHARGER
It is always safest to use the manufacturer's charger, even if you have other ones lying around the house. Although you can pick up a cheap charger from a dime store or a market, you aren’t going to know how safe they are to use and the media is full of horror stories about people buying from other sources that are unsafe or catch on fire. To stay safe while vaping, always use the manufacturer’s charger.
USE THE RIGHT BATTERIES
In addition to making sure you have the right charger, using the high-quality batteries is also very important. Again, cheap ones are available, but they might not reach the necessary safety standards and they could be a fire or shock hazard. Using a non-recommended battery is going to increase the likelihood of you having problems and just isn’t worth it.
USE TEMPERATURE CONTROL
Some modern vaping devices come with a temperature control setting as standard. This can increase the safety of the vaping device you are using, so make sure you use this feature if you have it. Setting the temperature means that you can control how hot the coil gets, which reduces the risk of you burning your fingers or causing a chemical reaction.
READ THE MANUAL
As with any product you buy, it is an excellent idea to read the manual thoroughly before you start using it. Each vaping device manufacturer makes their product slightly differently, so take the time to get to know your manual and you can check any idiosyncrasies and make sure you have the safest experience possible when you vape.
E-LIQUID CARE
You may handle e-liquid frequently. After all, there are so many great flavors, and you can vape anything from Peaches & Cream to Watermelon Menthol and almost anything in between. However, you should take care when handling your e-liquid as it does have a chemical composition. This means that mishandling it could lead to danger, so make sure it doesn’t soak into your skin. Wash your hands or affected areas immediately if you spill it on your skin and store it at the correct temperature.
DON’T DRY BURN YOUR COILS
A lot of people dry burn their coils as this means that they get a more even temperature distribution. However, your vaping device is not designed to do this, and it might cause it to overheat. This means that it could stop it from working properly or even give you a nasty burn when you pick it up.
MONITOR THE HEAT
If you keep a regular check on the heat of your device, you can make sure that it doesn’t burn out or stop working efficiently. This will increase the durability of your device and ensure that you do not receive any burns from it. Although burning yourself is exceedingly rare, it can happen, and it is better to be safe than sorry.
BUY FROM A REPUTABLE SUPPLIER
There are a lot of different suppliers out there, and some of them have a better reputation than others. Some use qualified chefs and test their ingredients and finished product to make sure that their customers are vaping the best and safest vape juice. Others are just out to make a quick buck and are less concerned with customer satisfaction. Make sure you always buy from a supplier who prides themselves on their good reputation and the quality of their products.
DON’T CHASE CLOUDS
There is no doubt that chasing clouds is fun, and it looks cool, too. However, it can be dangerous because you expose yourself to more chemicals when you do this. It also means that you can go through a lot more e-liquid if you do this, which can be more expensive for you and a waste of a good vape juice.
Follow this guide to make your vaping experience a positive one that doesn’t cause you harm.
