Additional Considerations For a Safe Vaping Experience 0

If you’re here, then, well, you’re probably vaping. First of all, let us begin by congratulating you! Whether you’re seeking a nicotine delivery system that’s not tobacco-based or you’ve quit cigarettes after years and years of smoking, making the switch to vaping will benefit your life in many incredible ways. However, at the same time, if you’re going to do something, you should do it right. That’s why here at Sunshine Vape, we encourage our fellow e-cigarette users to vape the smart way: With etiquette and safety in mind.

Sunshine Vape Shop Has South Kingston and Warwick RI Covered!

Our online vape shop has covered various vaping etiquette pointers in the past, and we’ve also lightly touched on some vaping safety considerations. To help prevent you from being the point of ridicule in a local news headline — or worse, the victim of an unforeseen accident — our online vape supply specialists are going to continue touching on some crucial vaping safety information.

If you’re nearby in the Warwick and South Kingston areas of Rhode Island, feel free to drop by our vape shop and get to know the owners of Sunshine Vape in person! Of course, you can always shop our online vape store at your convenience.

Don’t Modify Your Battery or Mod

Unless you’re an electronics expert or you really know what you’re doing — but even then — you should never tinker with or modify your vaping device. If you want to run more power to your atomizer, it’s much safer and smarter to simply pick up a newer, more powerful battery that’s actually designed to reach power levels up to a certain wattage as opposed to “overclocking” your vape battery, if you will.

Avoid Third Party Replacement Materials

If you’re in search of a new charger or replacement batteries for your vape mod (that is, if the device takes external batteries), make sure that you’re getting ones that are directly approved from the manufacturer. Using cheap, knock-off electronics is a recipe for a circuitry disaster, leading to malfunctions down the road. Contact the manufacturer of your vape in order to obtain the exact make and model of the batteries and charger that you need, or let our friendly experts at our Rhode Island vape shop assist you.

Don’t Vape and Drive at the Same Time

We’re not trying to undermine your ability to multitask, but when it comes to multitasking at the wheel...just don’t. Distracted driving is inherently unsafe, and though you can probably take a few puffs while waiting at a stoplight, vaping while you’re in motion prevents having two hands on the wheel. This sounds like a fairly silly safety pointer, but it’s worth saying. It’s incredible what people will do while they’re driving, and quite frankly, terrifying.

Don’t Use Your E-Liquid Container For Anything Else But E-Liquid

If you’re a hot sauce enthusiast, as many of those in the vaping community tend to be, you might want a convenient way to “drip” hot sauce on your food. Please, do not fill an empty juice bottle with anything other than more e-juice. Not only can residual e-juice get in your hot sauce, or whatever you fill the empty juice bottle with, but you may also forget what’s in there...and attempt to vape, dare we say it, hot sauce. It sounds pretty outlandish, but it’s happened before. Keep the vaping equipment strictly for vaping.

Vape Safely: Tips to Avoid Vaping Mishaps 0

Have you ever sat there with your morning coffee, letting your breakfast settle while absorbing some of the latest news online (or let’s be real, via your Facebook feed) only to come across a ridiculous headline that makes you think twice about taking the next puff on your vape? In our age of information technology and the ability to instantly share just about anything with the world, it’s fair to say that, as a society, we’ve become fairly desensitized to some pretty crazy stuff. So, reading a news headline about some dude’s vape battery blowing up inside of his car in Florida, resulting in a strange odor of burnt plastic and strawberry shortcake vapor, must be fairly out of the ordinary if it’s turning your head.

Of course, the majority of e-cigarette and vape users out there don’t encounter any problems — especially technical malfunctions or user error that leads to something like an explosion. But reading these type of headlines doesn’t make the vaping community at large look very good, and if anything, these anomalies give tobacco industry lobbyists and other naysayers more leverage against something that’s objectively healthier than smoking cigarettes.

Our editorialist remarks aside, here at Sunshine Vape, we want vape users both long-time and brand-new to use our vape products safely.

Read below to gain some worthwhile insight on the matter, or hit up our vape shop online to find killer deals on vape juice for sale, vaping coils and atomizers, battery mods, and more!

If you’d like to chat in person, our vape shops in Warwick RI an South Kingston RI are the “vape store near me” that you’re searching for online! Our vaping experts are more than happy to discuss all things vaping-related from safety tips to the latest e-juice flavors and the future of vaping technology. Here’s our contact information.

Don’t Leave Your Batteries (Or Mods) Exposed To Extreme Heat

To start, let’s address what we’ve touched on above: Avoiding making news headlines and getting shamed by people by not exposing your vape battery to extreme levels of heat. Now, this isn’t to say you can’t take your vape and enjoy it outside on a hot summer’s day, but please, do not leave your mod or battery inside of a hot car for a prolonged amount of time. Heat is the sworn enemy of batteries, so if you are running errands and decide to leave your vape in your car, at least crack your windows or park in the shade if possible. Of course, simply taking your vape with you (and out of your vehicle) wherever you’re headed is a smart move.

Keep E-Liquid With Nicotine Away From Children and Pets

Just like how you should keep alcohol, medications or medical cannabis stored away from curious children and pets, e-juice (and other vaping products) should be kept out of reach. While most e-liquid components are relatively harmless to consume, nicotine poisoning is very real and could legitimately endanger your cat, dog or your little one. Fortunately, most e-liquid bottles and containers tend to have a child-proof opener requiring the user to push down before twisting the top open, but even then, don’t underestimate the ability of these curious young explorers. Like any responsible parent (or pet owner) should, keep your adult products safely capped and out of reach. When handling e-liquid with nicotine or charging vape batteries, do this in a separate room or area away from pets and kids. It’s not only courteous and responsible of you as a parent, but doing so also eliminates any possibility of contact.

Is Your Mod Acting Strange? Stop Using It!

Plain and simple, if your device is starting to bug out, glitch, or “fire” when it’s not supposed to, just stop using it. Turn it off or safely take out the batteries and get a new device. Faulty devices, while rare, are in circulation. Shelling out for a brand new battery might be a bit pricey, even with our amazing deals here at Sunshine Vape. But when you really think about it, a new battery is significantly cheaper than a visit to the emergency room....
