• Make sure that any battery wrap is in good condition. If that plastic sheath has holes or other damage, then replace it.
• Always verify that you are inserting batteries properly. Check out the correct specs for any mod and follow those guidelines.
• Replace batteries at the same time. If you have a mod powered by two batteries, always charge or replace those batteries in pairs.
• Clean your mods on a regular basis. When your threads become dirty, your mod circuits can be disrupted and buttons can get stuck in place. Use a cotton swab or wipe to clean the unit with alcohol.
• Watch your coil resistance limits. This is especially true for vaping aficionados who build their own coil setups. Remember, most experts recommend that you never go below .2 ohms, since anything below that level can increase the risk of accidents or other mishaps.
• Store your batteries properly, to avoid shorting them out. Short circuits can occur when the negative and positive terminals come into contact with the battery simultaneously, or due to careless storage habits. For example, batteries can experience a host of problems when they are stored with objects made of metal. As a rule, never store them in a junk drawer or tool chest. If your battery or mod heats up inexplicably, you may have a short circuit on your hands.
• Use caution when disposing of your old batteries. Batteries are filled with dangerous chemicals that can produce toxic fumes or cause an explosion, so avoid throwing them in fire or other careless disposal options. Instead, locate a recycling center and take them there.
