How to choose a vape battery! from Vape Factory's blog

The battery, the "heart" of a vape devices, is a particularly important part of the vape, and it is fair to say that the way you use your vape will change with the battery. Criteria for choosing a battery include "functionality" and "visuals. In addition, the amount of vapor produced is also important. In this article, we will show you how to choose a battery and which products are safe to use after purchase.

It is also important to know how the battery is activated: a vape battery has a part that contains the battery to power the unit. There are two types of batteries: rechargeable (built-in) and replaceable (battery-powered). The features of the two types are explained below.

Rechargeable type

When batteries are rechargeable, there is no need to replace them. This saves time and effort in stocking batteries, etc. On the other hand, the batteries must be recharged regularly. On the other hand, the battery must be recharged regularly. Although rechargeable battery vapes are compact and convenient, it is important to keep in mind the life of the batteries. The most common method of charging is to connect to USB.

Battery-powered vape

Battery-powered batteries, which must be replaced frequently, are also attractive for their ability to manipulate high-power output. However, regular batteries have a "protection circuit" that limits their output. Without obtaining dedicated batteries, the advantages of battery-powered batteries cannot be taken advantage of. Special batteries are available at specialty stores and mail-order websites, so check them out.

There are many variations of batteries. If you are not familiar with the features of each battery, you may have a hard time deciding which one to choose. When buying a battery, in addition to preference, compatibility with other parts of the vape is also crucial. In this paragraph, we will show you how to choose a battery.

Matching the atomizer

The part that has a strong relationship with the battery is the atomizer. The atomizer is the part that converts liquid into vapor. Since the battery is connected to the atomizer, it will not function properly if the combination is not right. First, make sure to choose the right atomizer. Buy an atomizer of your choice and then prepare a battery that matches the standard.

At this point, the two most important things to pay attention to are the diameter of the connection and the atomizer. Most products have a 510 connection and a 22mm diameter, so you should be able to find a battery that fits your needs. You can check the specifications in stores, on the official website, or by mail order. Check the size of the connection and diameter in the "Product Specifications" section.

Select by safety

Since batteries are parts that generate heat, safety should be taken into consideration. Technical mods are slightly less dangerous than mechanical mods. In addition, give preference to products with CE marking or RoHS certification, which is proof that the product is manufactured safely in the Western countries. If you insist on a mechanical mod, learn Ohm's law, which will be discussed later.

Choose by battery type

Whether the battery is built-in or replaceable is also important. If you are a beginner, rechargeable batteries are easier to use. With rechargeable batteries, you do not have to choose your own batteries. If you choose a replaceable type, you will have to search for a special battery, and then you will have to narrow down the type of battery you want. If you still prefer a replaceable battery, then find out more about how to use lithium batteries and use them.

Vape is not without risk. It is a product that requires caution because it handles power at high output. If you are unaware of how to properly use the battery, you are asking for trouble. In the paragraphs that follow, we will show you three precautions that are often mistaken. And be sure to read the "Precautions for Use" before using a vape.

Be careful when charging

A USB cable is used to charge the vape from vape factory. However, be vigilant when using your phone's AC adapter. This is because the majority of vape batteries are 5V1A compatible. On the other hand, it is not uncommon for smartphone adapters to not include vapes in their scope of use. Charging with a different adapter can cause the battery to fail or, in extreme cases, explode, not only damaging the vape, but also creating a risk of harm to the user himself. When buying a charger, it is wise to use a dedicated charger whenever possible.

Be careful not to use too much power

Always consider power when using a vape. Specifically, there are two types of power limits: the maximum power that can be used continuously and the maximum power that can be released instantaneously. These values can be confirmed by checking the official website or the sales website. And if you try to operate the vape beyond these maximum values, the current will short-circuit, causing an explosion. To continue to use your vape safely, be aware of "Ohm's Law".

Ohm's Law is the formula "voltage = current x resistance. For example, suppose that the continuous discharge is 20A, the maximum discharge is 60A, the capacity is 2500mA, and the normal voltage is listed as 3.7V. At this time, if the resistance is 0.185Ω, Ohm's law is satisfied, and there will be no problem with current flow.

Be careful when the battery generates heat

After continued use of the vape, the battery may begin to heat up. At this time, do not underestimate the situation. Indeed, due to the construction of the vape, heat will be transferred to the battery. This is because the system is designed to energize the battery and then apply an electric heating wire to the coils to vaporize the liquid. However, the battery is usually cooled by pauses. If the battery is continuously smoked, the atomizer and coils will not cool down, so they will continue to heat up. It is safe to avoid continuous vaping when using a vape, and to allow time after each use to make sure that the heat has cooled before resuming operation.
