With winter fast approaching, we thought it'd be a great idea to share some handy tips for vaping in the colder months. You know, just a few tricks to keep your vape experience as smooth as a hot chocolate on a frosty evening.
1. Keep Your Device Warm
First things first, the cold is no friend to your vape device. Batteries can lose charge faster in low temperatures, and nobody wants to be left vape-less on a cold day. So, keep your device tucked in your pocket or bag, close to your body warmth. Just like you wouldn't leave your phone out in the cold, treat your vape kit with the same care.
2. Thicker E-Liquids Need More Love
Your usual e-liquids might get thicker in the cold, especially those with a high VG (vegetable glycerine) content. Thick liquids don’t wick as easily, which means your coil might struggle to soak up the juice, leading to dry hits or even a burnt coil. A simple solution? Take a few primer puffs before you start vaping, or keep your device in a warm spot.
3. Mind the Charge
Remember I mentioned batteries and cold aren't best pals? Your vape battery will feel the same. It's likely to drain quicker in cold weather. So, make it a habit to keep your device charged, maybe carry a portable charger when you're out and about. Trust me, it's a lifesaver!
4. Store Your E-Liquids Properly
Just like you need to keep warm, your e-liquids do too. Cold can change the flavor and consistency of your e-liquids. Store them in a cool, dry place, but not somewhere too cold. Think about how you'd store a good bottle of wine - not in the freezer!
5. Take Care of Your Coils
Your coils might need a bit more attention during winter. With thicker e-liquids, they're working overtime. So, check them regularly and replace them if you start getting a burnt taste or if your vape experience feels off.
6. Adjust Your Vaping Style
In winter, consider taking shorter puffs. Long, deep inhales can be harsh in cold weather, both for you and your device. Short, gentle puffs are the way to go. Plus, it's kind of cozy, like sipping on a warm drink.
7. Stay Hydrated
This one's important all year round, but even more so in winter. Vaping can sometimes lead to dehydration, and so can the dry winter air. Keep a bottle of water handy, and stay hydrated to enjoy a smooth vaping experience.
8. Watch Out for Condensation
Vaping indoors where it’s warm and then stepping out into the cold can cause condensation inside your device, which isn't great. Try to allow your device to adjust to temperature changes gradually.
9. Try Seasonal Flavours
Just for fun, why not try some seasonal e-liquid flavours? Think cinnamon, peppermint, or maybe a gingerbread flavour. It’s like the holiday season in every puff!
So, there you have it - a few simple tips to keep your vaping smooth and enjoyable, even when it's sweater weather outside. Stay warm, stay safe, and as always, happy vaping from all of us at Rolling Refills!
