New to Vaping?

You're sure to have already come across some rather unfamiliar words and terminology.  To assist you with unravelling the jargon and understanding each component take a look through our Beginners Guide. 

e-Cigarette Care & Maintenance

Unlike an analogue (tobacco) cigarette which turns to ash and is disposed of after use, your e cig is reused again and again. It will pay you back time and time again if you take care of it well. We'll help to keep your vaping clean, clear, crisp and fresh and your hardware working at its best by showing you how to carry out a fast and efficient maintenance regime which we advise that you make an everyday habit.

Packed with useful tips and tricks our guide Daily Care & Maintenance of your Electronic Cigarette  will walk you through a very simple, fuss free procedure that takes less than 2 minutes to do.

Done regularly this procedure will keep your kit in tip-top condition whilst also saving you money and headaches!

Life span

An atomiser tank/clearomiser when cared for well by regular coil changes and good maintenance and if undamaged through impact/dropping can last for several months. When its seals begin to wear, slight leaking it is a sure sign that a replacement device is needed.

A coil has an average life span of 14-30 days when in regular use. This will be shortened if a user vapes at higher than normal temperatures.

A battery will last several months, however it is recommended to replace batteries after 4-6 months of everyday use. Signs it is nearing the end of its useful life are when it holds a charge for less time. See our guide Lithium Battery Care & Safety Warnings 

eCig Batteries
 
Whatever kind of device you choose to use it is vital that its battery is capable of reliably providing the power you need to keep you vaping throughout the day.
 
Electronic Cigarette batteries are packed with features designed to enhance their performance and their safety. To get the most of these features our product guides are intended for use alongside the user manual supplied with your kit and are aimed at enhancing your understanding of how to operate and take advantage of all built in features.

Charging Safely

When it comes to re-charging your battery it is vital that you do so safely and at EXhale are very focused on ensuring that our customers and website visitors know how to vape safely.
 
We urge all vapers to adopt safe charging practice and, regardless of which kit or equipment you have, we strongly recommend that all vapers read EXhale's guide Lithium Batteries Care & Safety Warnings.
 
This guide will help users understand the type of batteries and power cells used for vaping and most importantly how to use and re-charge them safely.

Eliquid

More important even than your vaping hardware, the right eliquid is essential. We recommend that all vapers take time to read our guide: Eliquid Facts & Information which contains a wealth of information for new and advanced users. The guide will ensure that you have all the knowledge needed to make the right decisions and choices of eliquid, its flavour and its nicotine strength.

Troubleshooting
 
Sometimes an e cigarette battery will pose a niggling issue though with constant advancements in design and technology most of the difficulties from the earliest days of vaping have been completely eradicated.
 
However, occasionally there are the odd hiccups and therefore, EXhale have produced guides that address the most common of those niggles offering user immediate on the spot advice and enabling them to overcome these 'faults'.
 
Battery On/Off or Centre Pin Issue
 
Battery On/Off - a built in feature of the battery and often one users are unaware of. Learn how to turn your battery on or off and protect stored power from accidental discharge.
 
Centre Pin Issue: Mostly this issue has been done away with however with many of the early batteries still in use this does occasionally crop up. Electronic cigarette batteries have a 'floating' 'pin' which can get stuck down. This is more common when there is poor maintenance of kit as this will allows sticky liquid residue to build up and thus these residues will stop the pin from floating -  particularly when/if the atomisation device is screwed on to the battery too tightly. Our guide shows you how to free the pin.
