When Should You Replace Your Vape?
Jan 09, 2025 • 4 min read
If you’ve made the switch to vaping from other nicotine products, understanding how to maintain your device is crucial. Vaping devices require regular care and occasional replacement to ensure they perform at their best.
This guide provides everything you need to know about when and why you should consider replacing your vape. We’ll cover the signs that tell you it’s time for a replacement, factors that influence the lifespan of vapes, and tips to extend the life of your device.
The different types of vapes and how they work
Vaping devices come in a few forms, each designed to cater to different user preferences and vaping styles. The most common types of vapes, and the types we make at Vuse, are pod systems (also known as closed-system vapes) and disposable vapes.
You can learn more about the different types of vapes in our guide.
How vapes work
Regardless of the type, vaping devices share a few of the same parts that make them work. These include a battery, mouthpiece, atomizer (heating element), and a chamber that contains an e-liquid solution.
When activated, the battery uses electrical power to heat the liquid solution. The heat causes the solution to turn into an aerosol (also known as vapour), which is inhaled by the adult user through the mouthpiece1.
How long do vapes last?
How long your vape lasts varies based on a few factors, including the type of device, how often you use it, and how well you take care of it.
Device Type
Different vaping devices have different expected lifespans.
Usage
Most batteries can maintain an optimal performance for a certain number of charge cycles before performance starts to decline. For more information on battery care, see our guide on how to optimise your vape battery life.
Maintenance
General wear and tear and accidental drops may damage your vape. Regular checks and careful handling of your device can help avoid any maintenance issues.
When should you replace your vape?
Knowing the signs that it’s time to replace your vape can help ensure you never use a worn-out device.
Signs it’s time to replace your vape
- Outdated technology: Newer models offer improved features and performance.
- Decreased battery life: If your device no longer holds a charge well.
- Performance issues: Inconsistent vapour production or a consistent burnt taste.
- Physical damage: Visible wear and tear or damage from drops.
- Changes in vaping preferences: Your current device no longer suits you.
You can follow the manufacturer guidelines for more specific information on your device's lifespan.
Why you should replace your vape
When it’s time, replacing your vaping device can mean:
- Improved performance: As devices age, their performance can decline, which can lead to a less satisfactory vaping experience.
- Embracing technical advancements: Newer models often come with improved features, better battery life, and enhanced device lock mechanisms.
- Cost-effectiveness: Replacing an old device can be more economical than constantly repairing or replacing parts of an ageing one.
Common misconceptions
When it comes to vaping device maintenance and replacement, there are a few common misconceptions:
- “Parts need to be replaced when they stop working”. Waiting for your vape to break can lead to poor performance.
- “Battery life will remain consistent throughout the device’s lifespan”. Battery performance naturally degrades over time and with use.
- “You can use any charger with your vape”. Using incompatible chargers can damage your device or create safety hazards. Always use the charger recommended by the manufacturer.
