E-cigarette and summer: the right habits to adopt

Summer is here, temperatures are rising, suitcases are packed… and your e-cigarette never leaves your side. But be careful — just like you, your e-cigarette is not a fan of overheating, scratchy sand and salt water. To enjoy your holidays without any unpleasant surprises, here are a few good habits to adopt for stress-free vaping in the sun.

1. Protect your e-cigarette from the heat

We all know that lithium-ion batteries and extreme temperatures don't mix well. Excessive heat can impair the performance of your device, or even cause leaks, malfunctions or safety hazards.

What to do:

• Keep your vape in the shade, in a bag or an insulated pouch.

• Avoid leaving it on a table in direct sunlight (even for a 10-minute nap).

• Opt for cool places, even when travelling.

Absolutely avoid:

• A car baking in the scorching heat! It's the perfect place to cook your e-cigarette… Result: softened plastic, a worn-out battery and e-liquid acting up.

2. Vape vs salt water: who wins?

Spoiler: water always wins. If your e-cigarette takes a plunge into the sea or a swimming pool, it may not recover. Electronics and moisture truly don't get along.

What to do if it falls in water:

• Turn it off immediately, if you haven't already.

• Remove the battery if it is removable (never on a sealed pod, of course).

• Dry it carefully with a soft cloth.

• Place it in a bag of rice for 24 to 48 hours (the old grandmother's remedy still works!).

• Run a test once it is properly dry, but make sure not to turn it back on too soon.

What not to do:

• Do not rinse it (even if it's tempting after a dip in salt water).

• Do not try to charge it straight away afterwards.

3. Watch out for sand: the worst enemy of connectors

Ah, the joys of sand getting everywhere… And your e-cig is no exception. A single grain of sand can be enough to damage the connectors or block the switch, and then you're in trouble.

The right moves:

• Use a protective case or a dedicated small pouch.

• Always store your vape in a closed bag rather than in a shorts pocket full of sand.

• Regularly clean the threading and connectors with a dry cotton swab.

4. Vaping and hydration: not just for you!

Heat can also affect your e-liquid. At high temperatures, it becomes more fluid, which can encourage leaks or reduce the lifespan of your coil.

Bonus tips:

• Store your bottles in a cool place.

• Avoid leaving your e-liquid in a bag exposed to the sun for hours.

The ultimate solution: an all-terrain e-cigarette
