It is very difficult to verify the safety of the devices imported from China.


2. Understand which brand to get:

Most of the vape devices involved in the cases of explosions ware from little-known or unknown brands, that were mainly made in China. Also, there are several knock-offs on the market that, are manufactured with few checks and balances in order to meet some of the manufacturing standards, while not actually meeting all the conditions that a high-quality standard have. These 'little better' brands are also a risk to severities, so they should be avoided and only the American made vape devices should be used.

Chain vaping also overheats your atomizer, try to lessen your chain vaping habit.


5. Use the Correct Charger and charging duration:
