How To Refill A Disposable Vape Safely
Vape enthusiasts are keen on disposable vapes for their unmatched flavor, convenience, and ease of use. There is only one problem with them: they do not have an unlimited e-juice supply. Once you run out of e-juice, you will need to recycle your device and buy a new one. What if you could simply remove the cartridge from a disposable pen and refill it? Well, it is not a good idea and raises many safety concerns. Read our article to find an alternative solution.
How to refill a disposable vape safely?
Searching for a guide on how to refill a disposable vape? Would you like to cost-effectively refill the empty cartridge and keep enjoying the vaping experience? While it seems like a great way to save a couple of bucks and reduce the environmental footprint at the same time, unfortunately, disposable vapes are not meant to be taken apart. If you decide to disassemble them and refill the cartridge, you risk some serious health and safety hazards.
Why is refilling a disposable vape a bad idea?
Nicotine overdose
Refilling a disposable vape usually consists of the following steps:
- Disassembling the vape.
- Mixing your e-liquid.
- Refilling the cartridge with a syringe.
- Assembling the vape back together.
Sounds easy, right? Well, nicotine can be absorbed transdermally, which can easily lead to toxicity. A 2016 study came to the following conclusion:
“The concentrated nicotine in e-cigarette refill liquids can be toxic if inadvertently ingested or absorbed through the skin. Reports of poisonings due to accidental ingestion of nicotine on refill liquids are rapidly increasing, while the evaluation of nicotine dermally absorbed still lacks.”
Battery explosion
Just to avoid fear mongering, lithium batteries are safe and widely used in electric devices. Even if you take apart your disposable vape, it is not likely to explode. However, accidents do happen, and if you accidentally cause damage to the battery, there is a non-zero chance of explosion.
Other health concerns
There are countless guides on how to refill a disposable vape; however, most of them do not share information about the type of e-liquid you should use. It is really easy to accidentally mess up the ratios. As most of us lack precise scales at home, accidentally using double, triple, or even more amounts of certain ingredients is common. While using more flavors has no serious consequences, if you use double or triple the nicotine, that can lead to serious problems.
Leakage
Even if you manage to remove the cartridge from a disposable pen and refill it, oftentimes the tiny hole caused by the syringe can lead to leaks.
