How do Rechargeable Vapes Work?

Imagine you are travelling with your single-use disposable vape device, and suddenly the battery runs out mid-session. What next? You can’t recharge your device or get a new one, so you spend the rest of your trip annoyed. Now, think of a scenario, you are travelling with a rechargeable vape and the battery runs out. But you got a power bank along and can recharge it anywhere. You feel the difference, right? 

This blog is going to help you understand what rechargeable vapes are, the main components of these devices, and how they work.

What are the Rechargeable Vapes?

 

A rechargeable vape is an electronic vaping device with a built-in or replaceable battery that can be recharged multiple times. The rechargeable vapes are an eco-conscious and cost-effective alternative to disposable vapes and help in saving the environment from the harmful and toxic effects of lithium discharge from batteries. 

Rechargeable Vapes are designed to combine the sustainability and convenience of disposable vapes with rechargeable batteries. They became increasingly popular in the market after the ban was imposed on single-use disposable devices. The rechargeable vapes allow the vapers to power the device multiple times and refill it with their preferred e-liquid for long-term use.

Components of Rechargeable Vapes

 

Though the basic design of these vapes may vary, the main components remain the same. Before moving on to the working of rechargeable vapes, let’s explore the components:

1. Battery

The main component of any rechargeable vape is the battery. It is the powerhouse that heats the coil, which in turn vaporizes the e-liquid. The essential part that distinguishes it from a traditional vaping device is the necessary energy source, which provides the power for the device to function and can be recharged multiple times.

2. Atomizer

The atomizer is positioned adjacent to the battery and plays a vital role by heating the e-liquid through its wick and coil components. It facilitates the transformation of e-liquids into vapor upon activation and power driven from the battery, and lets users inhale the vapors and the nicotine content from the e-liquid.

3. E-liquid Reservoir 

Last but not least, the e-liquid reservoir is a crucial component in any vaping device. It helps store the e-liquid that is converted into the vapors during use. This e-liquid reservoir channels the e-liquid to the atomizer and enables the coil to heat and generate inhalable vapors. It usually contains a predefined amount and allows for easy refilling and replacement.

As we have learnt about the main components of any vaping device. Let’s now move on to the process of how a rechargeable vape works:

Charging the Battery

Start by charging the battery of your rechargeable vape. Make sure the battery is full before your first vaping session. The battery can be recharged using a USB-C charging cable with a suitable adapter. Every device features a differently powered battery, for instance, the Hayati Quokka Elite rechargeable vape is powered by a 1100 mAh battery and can be recharged using a USB-C charging cable. 

Attaching the Disposable Cartridge

In the next phase, you are required to connect the disposable cartridge to the battery. Before connecting, remove all the protective stickers and click the disposable cartridge into the mod with a click sound. The cartridge contains e-liquid and a built-in coil to heat evenly. It can either be refillable or prefilled. 

Activation Mechanism 

The rechargeable vapes can be activated in either of the two ways. For draw-activated rechargeable vapes, users take a puff to activate the device and produce vapors. While the vaping devices with a manual function require button pressing when inhaling to activate the heating element and ultimately generate vapors. 

Monitoring the Battery and E-liquid

Many rechargeable vapes contain LED display screens or LED battery indicators to help monitor the real-time battery levels. It helps in keeping updates about the remaining battery percentage, so you can recharge your device on time. Also, the e-liquid levels are shown on the screen, and some devices contain transparent chambers to view the e-liquid and refill when needed.

Dispose of and Replace Worn-out Parts

Are you done enjoying your favorite flavor, or want to enjoy something new? Here comes a twist: some of the rechargeable devices feature a refillable cartridge that lets users refill it multiple times till the coil wears out. Once you feel a decline in flavor intensity and vapor delivery, replace the old cartridge with a new one and dispose of the old one responsibly.

Benefits of Using Rechargeable Vapes

 

Let’s explore a few benefits of rechargeable vapes:

  • More cost-effective and affordable than single-use devices

  • It can last months or even a year with proper care and maintenance

  • Sustainable option and helps in making the environment cleaner and greener

  • Delivers better performance by letting you adjust power, recharge the battery, and more

  • Customize your experience with preferred e-liquid, nicotine strength, and coil resistance 

Final Thoughts

 

To sum up, the rechargeable vapes are a sustainable and cost-effective option compared to single-use devices. They work by heating the e-liquid through a battery-powered coil to deliver a satisfying nicotine hit with rich flavors to tantalize your tastebuds. These rechargeable vapes save money over time, reduce waste, and offer steady, powerful performance with each charge.
