Is there anything more frustrating than your vape cutting out right when you need it most? You’re going about your day, relying on that smooth, consistent vapor, only to be met with a weak puff or an ominous blinking light. It feels like you just charged it, and already the battery is draining again.
How long does a vape last? The answer depends on several factors, including the type of device and how you use it. If you’re looking for long-lasting vapes, it’s important to choose the right type and maintain it properly.
The Lifespan of Different Vape Types
The lifespan of your device’s battery is largely determined by the type of vape you’re using.
1. Disposable Vapes
Measured in puffs, not days. Most disposable vapes are rated for 300 to 800 puffs, which for a moderate user, might last one to three days. Larger disposables can sometimes last up to a week.
2. Pod Systems
Pod systems are known for their compact size and ease of use. They use replaceable or refillable pods that click into a small, sleek battery.
A single charge can typically last anywhere from a full day to a few days, depending on the battery size and your usage habits.
3. Mod Systems
These are the most advanced and customizable vapes on the market. They are larger, feature powerful rechargeable batteries (often external and replaceable), and allow for extensive control over wattage, temperature, and airflow.
With mods, you’re in the driver’s seat. The longevity of the battery is directly tied to your settings. Running your device at a high wattage will deplete the battery much faster than a low-wattage setting. For those seeking truly long-lasting vapes, mod systems with high-capacity batteries are often the best choice.
Key Factors That Impact Your Vape’s Longevity
Beyond the type of device, three key factors truly dictate how long vapes last.
Battery Life
For rechargeable vapes, this is measured in mAh. The higher the mAh, the longer your device will last between charges. However, how you use it matters too. Vaping at high wattages or taking long, frequent puffs will drain your battery much faster than moderate use.
Coil Lifespan
This is the part that heats your e-liquid, and it’s a consumable that wears out. Sweetened e-liquids can “gunk up” the coil, and vaping at a wattage higher than recommended can burn it out prematurely. Typically, a coil lasts one to two weeks, but careful use can extend this.
E-liquid Capacity
A larger tank or pod means you can vape for a longer period before needing a refill. While a big tank is convenient, your e-liquid consumption still depends on your habits. High-wattage vaping consumes juice much faster than low-wattage vaping, so a heavy user will need a larger capacity to get through the day.
Pro Tips to Make Your Vape Last Longer
By following these simple maintenance tips, you can significantly extend the life of your device and enjoy long-lasting vapes.
- Charge your device correctly. Always use the charger that came with your vape and avoid leaving it plugged in overnight. Overcharging can degrade your battery’s capacity over time, leading to a shorter lifespan.
- Use high-quality e-liquids. The quality of your e-liquid directly impacts your coil’s health. Cheaper liquids, especially those with high levels of sweeteners, can cause a sticky residue to build up on your coil. This “coil gunk” reduces flavor and forces you to replace your coils more often.
- Clean your device regularly. Take a moment to wipe down your vape, focusing on the charging port and the connection points between the battery and the tank or pod. This prevents residue and dust from interfering with performance and charging.
- Store your vape properly. Extreme temperatures are an enemy to your device. Never leave your vape in a hot car or direct sunlight. Storing it in a cool, dry place will protect the battery and prevent your e-liquid from degrading.
