The Complete Guide to E-Cig Safety

The Complete Guide to E-Cig Safety

E-cigs are basically designed for the health-conscious smoker, but frequent reports of things like battery explosions and scattered e-liquid poisonings serve as stark reminders that it isn`t all about the relative safety of vaporized e-liquid in comparison to combusted tobacco. In fact, learning about the basic safe use of an Electronic Cigarette is essential, whether you have a beginner-friendly cig-a-like, an ego style model, an electronically-regulated APV or (especially) a mechanical mod.
Without intending to be insensitive, it must be said that most of the events that have occurred so far can be put down to people not following reasonable safety precautions. That`s what the [Complete Guide to E-Cig Safety" is for – to provide all the information you need to safely use your e-cig in one place. There will still be accidents (because there always are), but if vipers heed the advice given here, they can be kept to an absolute minimum.


Part One: Beginner E-Cigs Safety

________________________________________
1. Safe Use of Beginner E-Cigs
Beginner-friendly e-cigs are designed with the aim of being exceptionally easy to use, and the safety concerns when it comes to usage really are minimal. However, it`s important to understand that cartomizers do get hot, be able to identify when you`re running out of liquid and learn how to safely store your e-cig.
Key Points
An atomizer is effectively an electronic heater, and the area around it may get hot after extended use. If you notice your cartomizer getting warm, put down the e-cig for a little while and come back to it when it`s cooled, or alternatively, switch to a different one and continue vaping.
An empty cartomizer can be identified by a drop in vapor production and flavor or the characteristic [burnt" taste as the [wicking" material is heated in the absence of e-liquid.
Batteries should be stored away from either extreme highs or extreme lows of temperature. Lithium-ion batteries are best stored at around 59 °F (15 °C), and if they`ll be in storage for a long time, leave them at around half-charge.
Covering the mouthpiece with a plastic tip (often included in purchases) helps to minimize e-liquid evaporation.
If you`re interested in modifying components, you are not advised to do so on a beginner-level e-cig.
2. A Guide to Safe Charging
Many reported e-cig explosions occurred during charging, and in many cases could have been averted or the damage minimized with safe charging practices. They`re almost always printed in the manual, but the best way to minimize the chance of problems during charging is to follow a few simple guidelines.
Key Points
Don`t leave your e-cig unattended during charging. It`s unlikely that there will be problems, but if there are it`s important to be able to identify and rectify the situation as quickly as possible.
Don`t charge overnight. This is partly due to the fact that it`s left unattended, but also because frequent overcharging can be an issue, leading to instability in the battery and potential failure. The power should be removed as soon as possible after it`s fully charged.
Use the manufacturer`s charger whenever possible. If you must use a third-party charger, it`s essential to research the threading, power rating and the polarity of both the e-cig and charger to ensure they can be safely used together.
Don`t charge your e-cig in extreme highs or lows of temperature, and keep it out of reach of children and pets during charging.
Standard e-cigarettes are fairly well self-contained. When carrying them, just make sure cartridges and things stay free of debris like pocket lint. The bigger concern is with charging safety: Always use the manufacturer's recommended charger and follow instructions, do not charge unattended.

I`d also add that batteries should be charged on a flat wooden surface. Batteries can also be placed in fire safe charging bags – we`ve been struggling to find ones which are UK approved, though.
