Festival season is fast approaching. You’ve got your ticket, planned your travel, and checked your tent doesn’t have any holes. You’ve considered what clothes and food to pack. But what about vaping? Here’s our guide to everything you need to think about when vaping at festivals.
Follow the rules
As no-brainers go, this is up there at the top. Festivals are all about having fun and spending time outdoors. Most festivals do allow vaping in outdoor areas but it’s usually prohibited in covered spaces such as pop-up-pubs and tent stages. However, it’s still important to check with each festival site to see what the restrictions are before you go. Also, it’s a good idea to ask the people around you if they mind you vaping in a busy area. You might even meet some fellow vapers to share tips with.
Can you vape at festivals?
At most festivals the rules around vaping are the same as smoking (1). While outdoor festivals are generally pretty vaping friendly, smoking and the use of e-cigarettes and vapes isn't allowed in public spaces or buildings. This usually includes inside the arenas.
However, there are festivals that are focused on being green and disposable vapes may well not fit into that category from their perspective. (2)
Charging Your Vape at Festivals
A lot of festivals offer charging points, but there can be long queues, and some might charge a fee. Plus nobody wants to miss out on watching their favourite artists perform while stuck waiting for your vape to charge! Make sure your vape is fully charged before you head off to a festival, and consider taking a back-up vape so if the first one runs out you’ve got a handy spare. The INTU Plus vape kit can last up to two days before needing to be charged, depending on your personal use. If you’re after something a bit more pocket-friendly and in a lower price-bracket, consider the Skope Air.
Don’t Forget Your E-liquids
First thing’s first, consider how long you are going to be there and how much e-liquid you will need. Making sure you have enough liquid to keep you going is a must. If you’re unsure of how much you usually vape then take extra. It’s better to have too much liquid than run out half way through your weekend. We recommend VLTZ E-Liquids like Rainbow Burst and Spearmint Menthol this festival season.
Take Extra Vape Coils
There’s nothing worse than having your coil burn out when you’re not expecting it. Make sure you pack some extra coils. Nobody likes to be stuck with that nasty burnt taste all weekend.
Disposable Vapes
Disposables are perfect for taking to a festival – if they are permitted of course. Always double check each festival’s individual prohibited items list before packing your Elf Bars.
A great upgrade from disposables is the VLTZ range.
Whether you’re looking for a the convenience of a pre-filled pod kit like the VLTZ Flex or a refillable disposable VLTZ Re:fuel that can last you all weekend. All VLTZ products feature intense flavours, are cost-effective, simple-to-use and convenient. Making them perfect for festival-goers.
What not to do
One of the biggest issues at festivals, especially when using disposables, is waste left behind. Each disposable vape contains a battery and should be disposed of responsibly. Luckily you can drop off any used disposables at any of our Totally Wicked stores and we’ll take care of recycling them for you.
