The correct charging method for electronic cigarettes

Jan 17, 2024 Leave a message

Consumers of e-cigarettes use disposable or replaceable e-cigarettes, and the charging interface of these e-cigarettes is basically the same as that of Android phones. Like Android phones, high-end e-cigarettes are mostly Type-C interfaces, while entry-level versions may have USB interfaces; Of course, there are also some entry-level e-cigarettes that still use the Type-C interface.
Since the charging interface is the same as that of an Android phone, can we use the phone's charging connector to charge the e-cigarette? The answer is: No.
We all know that the charging power of Android phones is generally around 30-50 watts, and some high-end or flagship models have charging power as high as 70-80 watts, or even over 100 watts. And this charging power far exceeds the charging power that e-cigarettes can withstand. The charging power of e-cigarettes generally does not exceed 10W. If we use the charging connector of a mobile phone to charge the e-cigarette, it is highly likely to burn out the protective circuit inside the e-cigarette, and in severe cases, it may even cause an explosion.
So, the correct way to charge disposable e-cigarettes and replaceable e-cigarettes is through the USB port on the power bank, computer, or laptop. This charging may be slower, but it is safe.
Of course, in addition to the aforementioned e-cigarettes with built-in lithium batteries, there are also some e-cigarettes that use 16850, 20700, or 21700 batteries. These types of e-cigarettes using external batteries have a higher output power, up to 300W, such as the KK ALSPACE 12000 Box Mod e-cigarette, which requires Type-C interface charging. We can also use the charging method mentioned above for this type of electronic cigarette; Of course, if you want to charge more, you need to purchase the corresponding charger.
