An electronic cigarette is a worthy alternative to traditional smoking appliances. This product allows you to inhale both nicotine vapors and other mixtures without the content of this alkaloid.
Many owners of devices of this type are trying to extend their service life, which depends largely on the proper use of an electric power source. Next, we will talk about how to charge an electronic cigarette, depending on the type of such device.

How to charge an electronic cigarette
Smoking electronic equipment can be charged in several ways. The main obstacle to this procedure is the fact that such a function was incorporated by the cigarette manufacturer.
Disposable
An electronic cigarette may be disposable. The name of this product in itself does not imply reuse, but not for virtuosos of owning soldering equipment.
For this purpose, it is enough to carefully disassemble the miniature device to gain access to the battery. Then, if a non-rechargeable power source is used in an electronic cigarette, it can be removed and a renewable battery suitable for voltage and size replaced in its place.
Such a battery can be permanently removed if it is necessary to restore the charge or mounted in the device micro usb port so that you can restore the charge without disassembling the product.
It should be noted that the installed battery should not only be suitable in size and voltage. A miniature controller is also required. If such a device is absent in the design of a rechargeable electric power source, then when a certain level of recharge is reached, the battery may explode.
Having done the above manipulations, a disposable electronic cigarette can be reused, but only subject to a similar modification of the container for the smoking mixture (in disposable devices, for example, Dexx models, cartridge replacement or tank refilling is not provided).
With removable batteries
If the design of the electronic cigarette allows you to remove the battery of their case, then such a product can be used indefinitely if you timely charge the power source installed in the device. Most often inside such products you can find the following models of rechargeable batteries:
Carefully opening the case of such a cigarette, the battery is removed and installed on charging in special devices designed to restore a specific type of power source.
When the battery is fully charged, the reverse operation is performed. The battery is correctly installed in place (observing the polarity), after which the electronic cigarette can be used in normal mode.
With connectors
Charge recovery in devices equipped with connectors does not cause any difficulties. Of course, provided that at hand there is a suitable device to restore the battery capacity.
Otherwise, you will need to purchase an original device for charging an electronic cigarette. Most often, electronic cigarettes of the following brands are equipped with connectors:
- Ego;
- Evod;
- Asteroid.
The listed devices can also be charged using a special adapter.
How long does it take to charge
In rechargeable vaporization devices, it takes about 2 hours to fully recharge the battery. The reason why there is no need for a long charge is the presence of only one battery cell.
According to the instructions, it is recommended to do the first charge several times longer. This is necessary in order for the battery to fully restore the resource laid in it. In the future, it is enough to connect the product to the charger for no more than 3 hours.
As a rule, electronic cigarettes that can be recharged are equipped with an LED indicator that will change color or turn off when the optimal charge level is reached.
