Vape Safety

Although vaping can be enjoyable, it is important to prioritise safety. Vapes used incorrectly may affect your health. To ensure a great vaping experience, take the following measures:

Learn how to use your vape properly

It is important to inhale and exhale properly when using a vape as incorrect inhalation can lead to a big nicotine rush. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for your device. When selecting a vape, choose one with all the necessary features, safety, reliability, and durability. Never share your device to avoid contracting diseases.

Avoid e-liquids with high nicotine content

E-liquids contain various chemicals, some safe to consume and others not. Nicotine, one of the most hazardous ingredients used in cigarettes and e-liquids, is highly addictive and raises the risk of respiratory (breathing) problems.

Avoid e-liquids with a nicotine content above 20mg when refilling vape kits and pods. This level of nicotine is not legal in the UK.

Vape in moderation

Limiting vaping frequency will help to prevent health issues such as breathing difficulties, bacterial infections, raised blood pressure, and brain function problems.

Inhale less vapour

Inhaling vapour can be harmful; the more you inhale, the more dangerous it becomes. One way to reduce inhalation is to vape slowly by holding your mouth open for a few seconds as if smoking a cigarette.

Maintain good oral hygiene

Good oral hygiene is crucial for safe vaping. Vaping can cause gum recession, irritation, soreness, and cavities. To prevent these symptoms, regularly brush and floss, and visit your dentist for cleaning and oral screenings.

Battery safety

While vaping is generally safe, following battery safety rules is crucial. Check out our guide for safe battery use.

Are Lithium-Ion batteries safe?

The Lithium-Ion batteries used in vape devices are used in millions of different devices worldwide and are considered safe when used correctly. However, they can pose a fire risk when overcharged, short-circuited, submerged in water or if their casing is damaged. Although vapes have a built-in safety circuit for your protection, it is important to take precautions to prevent this from happening.
