Most portable vaporisers rely on high-drain rechargeable lithium-ion cells—either integrated internal battery packs or removable cells such as 18650, 20700, or 21700 formats. Due to the high energy density required to heat a ceramic oven to 200°C within seconds, proper battery handling is essential.
Safe Charging Practices
- Use Certified Chargers: Always charge using the manufacturer-supplied cable and a compliant 5V/2A or USB-C PD power adapter with overcharge protection.
- Avoid Unattended Overnight Charging: Do not leave vaporisers charging on soft surfaces (couches, mattresses) or unattended for extended periods.
- Avoid Extreme Temperatures: Never leave a vaporiser in a parked car under the Australian sun or charge a device that is freezing cold.
Safety for Removable 18650 / 21700 Cells
If your vaporiser uses replaceable battery cells, follow these strict handling protocols:
- Inspect Battery Wraps Regularly: Never use a battery cell with torn, chipped, or peeling outer plastic wraps. A damaged wrap can cause an instant dead-short against metal device walls.
- Always Use a Protective Case: Never carry loose lithium-ion batteries in pockets or bags where keys or loose coins could bridge the terminals.
- Use a Dedicated External Charger: High-quality external smart chargers ensure balanced cell voltage and prolong overall battery lifespan.
