iKrusher Vape 101: How to Make a Vape Battery Last Longer

Has this ever happened to you? You're out at a concert, on the beach, or just hanging with friends and hitting your favorite vape pen. When suddenly your vape stops working, no puff, no vapor. Worried it's the oil you check, no, there's plenty of oil. You shake it, fear it clogged, and then you check the battery—oh, no, it's dead. And there's no time to charge it. What a pain! Don't you wish there were ways to keep vape batteries running longer so they don't stop at the wrong moments? There are!

In this blog, we will explore some tips to increase your vape battery's longevity. We'll look at tips such as regulating the temperature, not overcharging, changing your puffs, using a temperature control vape, adjusting the amount you vape, and more; that way you'll be less likely to be surprised and able to enjoy your vape longer. Making your vape battery last longer and knowing when it's about to stop is super helpful. Knowing how long your battery will last and ways to extend the life of your vape battery is a big help. Let's dive in.

Li-ion Batteries Explained

Whether you're using an all-in-one, a pod system, or a 510-thread battery with cartridges, all vapes have the same basic components: a mouthpiece, tank, activator, and of course … a battery.

Like all batteries, vape batteries only last so long. Most vapes use lithium-ion batteries, or li-ion for short. Li-ion batteries are technological wonders that have revolutionized home electronics since first introduced in 1991. Since then, they have gone on to be used to power all the electronics we love, including laptops, phones, EV cars, and … you guessed it, our vapes.

Li-ion batteries have become the dominant power source for electronics because they last longer, charge faster, and have a higher power density than traditional alkaline batteries. But even lithium batteries run low and need to be recharged. But the question is, how can you keep your experience going for as long as possible? While there is always a limit to how much power a lithium battery can provide, there are a few practices you can do to help increase the battery of your vape.

Vape Battery Ratings

Vape batteries come in various sizes and voltages, each rated by the amount of electric charge they can store, measured in milliamperes-hours, or mAh. The mAh rating of a battery determines its charging speed and how long it can power a device. A higher mAh rating means more charge and longer device power, but also a longer charging time. On the flip side, a lower mAh will result in faster battery depletion, but also charges quicker.

The battery capacity will depend on the size of the device and the amount of power it needs to work effectively. iKrusher vape batteries range from the smallest, 210 mAh, in the Tik Pro Mini all the way up to our largest in the S3 battery that has a capacity of a whopping 650 mAh.

Ways to Extend the Life of a Vape Battery

Now, here are some ways to keep your vape battery charged longer and your vaping experience lasting as long as you need it to.

Use a vape with a preheat function

Preheating your vape will also help prolong your vape's battery life. Preheating cuts down on the amount of heating your vape coil has to do and extends the battery life of your vape. Using devices like the Phin or the Porto, which both have preheat functions, can help extend your device's battery going. And by doing so, you also keep your experience going, as well. And we all want that.

Store vapes properly

It's best to store vapes and batteries at room temperature as temperature fluctuations, especially higher temperatures, can seriously affect the life of a battery. And extreme temperatures affect not only the battery life of a vape but also the quality of the oil inside. The best practice is to store vapes in a cool, dry place when not in use to keep both the battery and the oil at the optimum temperature.

Take shorter puffs

Wait, really? Yup, the shorter the puffs you take, the longer your battery will last. This is especially true for inhale-activated vapes, but it's also the case for a button-activated device. The shorter your puffs, the less the battery has to work, and the longer it lasts. Shorter puffs will also conserve your oil supply as well. It's also best to avoid chain vaping and try to avoid taking multiple consecutive puffs in quick succession, as this can deplete the oil far more quickly. The less frequently you use it, the longer it will last.

Use a Vape with Temperature Control

Using a vape with temperature control, like an iKrusher vape with OMNI Connect, you can lower the temperature of your vape, which can help extend the life of your battery. Because temperature-controlled vapes use only the power needed to keep your coil at the right temperature, a TC vape is estimated to use 1.5 times less energy than the equivalent variable wattage vape.

Don't over/under charge your vape

Another way to increase the life of an all-in-one vape is to avoid over or under charging the battery. Lithium-Ion batteries suffer at ultra-low charge levels so it's best to keep them from draining completely. On the flip side they can overheat if overcharged so keep an eye on them when charging. Most vapes will finish charging in less than an hour.

Buy From a quality manufacturer

Not all batteries are created equal and not all vape manufacturers either. Make sure you buy from a high-quality vape manufacturer, one that uses top-tier lithium batteries. Only buy from manufacturers you can trust, like iKrusher, that use only high-quality batteries and components, so your batteries will last longer and hold their charge longer than cheaper, less reliable ones.

Let the vape cool in between puffs

Letting your vape cool between puffs gives your vape battery a break. If your vape is constantly heating and reheating, this can put stress on your battery, and that in turn will reduce its charge capacity in the long run.

Turn it off when not in use

It might seem obvious, but if you're using a button-activated vape, turn it off when you're finished using it to conserve battery life. To do so, press the button five times, the LED will blink and the device will shut down.

In Closing

There you have it, several handy tips and tricks to help extend the life of your vape battery. Remember, if you want to extend the life of your all-in-one vapes and batteries, use a vape with temperature control, take shorter puffs, and don't over charge your vape. Also, buy from a reputable vape manufacturer, let your vape cool between puffs, and store your vapes at room temperature. Try these tips out, and we bet you'll see the difference. Now when you head out with friends, hit a concert, or relax on the beach, your vape battery will last longer.

Happy vaping!
