Can A Disposable Vape Explode?

Can A Disposable Vape Explode?

Like most electronic devices, disposable vapes contain a lithium-ion battery. These types of batteries can theoretically explode; however, the chances of this happening are extremely rare.

The chances of a disposable vape exploding are meagre. Regulated and authentic disposable vapes have smart chips inside that will stop your device from being potentially dangerous. Hence, a disposable vape battery will only explode if treated incorrectly, or you are unfortunate enough to purchase a counterfeit product.

Both disposable and non-disposable vape pens use the same energy source: Lithium-ion batteries. A battery activates the heating coil that converts the liquid in a vape pen into a vapour. It is essential not to overheat your vape device. If you feel your vape getting hot, we recommend leaving it to cool down before vaping again.

You may have heard disposable vapes can catch on fire or explode and seriously hurt people. Although these incidents are uncommon, vape fires and explosions are dangerous as the primary cause is unregulated, and counterfit devices posing just as many health risks as electronic risks. All regulated devices will have a smart chip inside to avoid any issues, so the chances of vaping explosions are just as slim as a mobile phone or any other electronic device exploding.

The most significant to keep in mind, the vapes themselves aren't the problem. The issue predominantly always lies in the batteries inside that power them. If you use a counterfeit device, there is no certification on the batteries used inside them.

Will A Disposable Vape Explode In Water?

Regulated disposable vape devices are extremely unlikely to explode when exposed to water. Disposable vapes that have been exposed to water will not work due to a smart chip inside the disposable. We recommend throwing your disposable away if exposed to water.

As disposable vapes are electronic devices, they are easily damaged by water. Water damage can cause problems that lead to a fire, but this only applies to counterfeit products as regulated vapes will have a smart chip inside to avoid short circuits. If a regulated disposable vape gets wet, the smart chip will not allow any power to be run through the device. Make sure you store your device in a cool and dry place when not in use and clean it thoroughly between charging sessions.

Purchasing premium-quality disposable vapes is a must. Devices made for sale in the United States and European markets, such as the United Kingdom, must adhere to strict production standards when batteries are involved. Devices that have circumvented these regulations are counterfeit and should never be purchased.

What Happens If You Drop A Disposable Vape In Water?

If you are unfortunate enough to have dropped your disposable vape in water, then this disposable vape will no longer be safe for use. As the battery inside gets wet, this can cause the battery to short and no longer deliver any power.

In some sporadic cases, they can begin to spark and potentially cause fire damage, but this problem seems to only be found with counterfeit products that are illegal for sale in the UK.

A disposable vape exposed to water can also interfere with the connection between the battery and atomizer, preventing the device from heating up properly. As a result, it's best to avoid using a disposable vape if it has been exposed to water. It is recommended that you replace your disposable vape if it has unfortunately been exposed to water.

Some types of disposable vapes are designed to be water-resistant, so they will still work even if they get wet. If you're unsure whether your disposable vape is water-resistant, it's always best to check the manufacturer's instructions before using it.
