Chargers & Batteries Guide for Electronic Cigarettes

Why do electronic cigarettes explode?

In short, it is because people are using the wrong chargers. Every single instance of “exploding e-cigarettes” occurred when the electronic cigarettes were charging. Using incorrect chargers, over-charging your e-cigarette or over-tightening the connection with the rechargeable battery can cause the battery cells to decompose and over-heat.

We've heard of people charging e cigarettes with iphone chargers for example. We're not sure HOW the user managed to make the fitting connect with the e cig in the first place! ALWAYS ensure that the charger is fit for purpose. Like any electronic device; if you plug in a charger with the wrong voltage and ampage then the results can be very dangerous!

How to choose the right e-cigarette charger

Ideally, you will continue to use the charger which came in your original electronic cigarette kit, but sometimes you need to upgrade or replace your model.
