Care guide
Charge a vape with the cable and method intended for that device. Keep the port clean and dry, avoid damaged hardware, and stop using anything that overheats, swells, leaks, or behaves unusually.
Quick answer
A device that is cracked, swollen, wet, unusually hot, or not charging normally should not be pushed back into use. Replace the device or ask the store before ordering more pods or juice for it.
Charging checks
Use the cable and charging method meant for the device, place it on a stable surface, and keep the charging port away from water, dirt, and pocket lint. Do not use a cable with exposed wires, loose connectors, or signs of damage. If the device gets unusually hot, stop charging it.
Some disposable vapes are rechargeable, and some are not. Rechargeable disposable vapes should only be charged through the built-in port, with the device kept dry and watched for unusual heat. If the device is at end of life, choose a replacement from Disposable vapes.
A reusable kit should be paired with the correct pods, coils, tanks, and liquid. If the battery still works but the flavour is burnt or weak, check pods, coils and tanks, or burnt taste troubleshooting.
Do not store devices in hot cars, damp bags, or pockets with loose metal items. Keep devices upright where possible and away from minors. See How To Store A Vape for day-to-day care.
If the device is physically damaged or charging poorly, contact Capital Vape before ordering pods or juice for it. A replacement kit can be the safer and cleaner path.
If the device is old, damaged, wet, or inconsistent, buying more pods or juice may not solve the issue. Confirm if the device itself should be replaced before adding compatible refills to the cart.
Charge on a stable surface, away from water and heat, and follow the device instructions. Do not use a cable with exposed wires, loose connectors, or signs of damage. If the device gets unusually hot, stop using it.
Before putting a device in a pocket or bag, make sure it is not leaking, damaged, or pressing against loose metal items. Keep mouthpieces and charging ports clean so the next use does not start with dirt or liquid residue in the device.
