Vape Battery Safety Guide
Taking care of your vape batteries is crucial for both performance and safety. Whether you use built-in or removable batteries, handling them properly helps prevent issues like overheating or, in rare cases, venting. Like any rechargeable battery (e.g., phone batteries), vape batteries are generally safe when treated correctly. That’s why it's important to buy from a trusted Canada retailer to ensure you have accurate information for safe use.
Vapes with Built-In Batteries
This applies to devices like disposables, starter kits, and pod vapes.

Battery Care Tips
✅ Use Batteries in Pairs – If your device requires two batteries, always use them together as a matched pair.
✅ When to Replace – Replace batteries if you notice physical damage, leakage, rust, swelling, or reduced performance.
✅ Check for Damage – Damaged battery wraps or exposed metal make batteries unsafe — replace or rewrap them immediately.
✅ Use a Battery Case – When traveling, store batteries in a case to prevent accidental short-circuiting.
✅ Buy Quality Batteries – Stick to reputable brands. Avoid unverified or suspiciously high-capacity batteries.
