Summer Vaping Tips

Jonny Eccles - 19th July 2022

Summer is now in full swing with beer gardens filling up, beaches overflowing and festivals kicking into action. After a stop start few years, it’s fantastic to see masses of people enjoying the British weather. While we can’t always count on sun in this country, we will have hot spells like this week’s heatwave, so it’s important to make sure you’re vape prepared. Read on for our top summer vaping tips.

There’s nothing better than a vape in the sun, however does the heat have a direct impact on your vape set up? In short, yes it can but as long as you follow these quick tips you can cool off with that iced e-liquid with peace of mind.

Summer vaping tip – the sun is not your vapes friend

Although you might be happy to bake in the sun all day, your vape certainly isn’t. High temperatures and direct sun have negative effects on your vape. . 

First up, direct sunlight can heat up the e-liquid in your vape tank and make it thinner. This thinner e-liquid can then run out of your tank. No one wants a leaky tank.  Second, vape batteries. No battery performs well when exposed to extremes of temperature. Your vape might have a built in battery, but it can still be affected by the summer sun. 

Keep your vape in a cool, shady area to keep it in tip top shape. If you are outside, cover it with a towel or blanket, or keep it in a bag. 

Our top tip – Don’t leave your vape in hot cars

I had a friend contact me to tell me her husband’s vape kept leaking. I went through all the regular trouble shooting and couldn’t figure it out. It was only later that he told me, he leaves his vape in the car, led down all day while he is at work. See above, it’s sat in direct sun, the e-liquid is getting heated up and becomes thinner, it leaks out of the tank. 

If you leave a vape in the car, keep it in the glove compartment or covered away from the sun. 

Stock up on vaping supplies for summer

Picture the scene, you are relaxing on a Sunday afternoon in your recliner, you go to vape and realise your tank has cracked! The last thing you want is to be caught out without spares, with no vape shops open to get sorted, talk about a ruined weekend. Spare atomizers, e-liquid, batteries, tanks and of course disposables can be a god send. 

Prepare for the worst just in case. The easiest way to ensure you’re not caught short is to simply pick up a couple of VLTZ Bar disposables or a VLTZ Flex and a few packs of pods.  

Vaping and rental cars 

If you are thinking of renting a car / minibus and having a stay in the UK, remember the rental insurance. Some rental car companies will not let you vape inside their vehicles. It could invalidate your insurance. Make sure you read the fine print before vaping in your rental.

Vape for the weather with a summer e-liquid

This is the perfect time to try out a new e-liquid. There are so many flavours of e-liquid that are just perfect for the warm weather. Fruit Fusion and Sex on the Beach are outstanding in the Red Label range, really fruity, a perfect accompaniment to the hazy sunshine. Looking for a sweet, fruity hit to enjoy in the sun? Check out the VLTZ Range for our most intense flavoured e-liquid yet. Fancy something cooling, have a look at Wicked Menthol in the Mr Wicked’s range. Can’t decide? Pop into a Totally Wicked shop and they will be able to recommend something ideal for the summer.

This was my top summer vaping tips for the 2022 heat. Have a great summer fellow vapers, take care of those vapes!
