Cold weather can significantly effect vape batteries ❄️
Low temperatures reduce how effectively lithium-ion batteries deliver power, so your device feels like it drains faster. This effect is usually temporary and improves at room temperature.
🔋 Why batteries drain faster in the cold
- Lithium-ion chemistry: At low temperatures, ion movement slows and the battery can’t deliver power efficiently.
- Voltage drop: Cold increases resistance, causing quicker voltage sag even when fully charged.
- Temporary capacity loss: Performance returns as the battery warms back to room temperature.
📦 Shipping & cold weather
- Shipping rarely harms batteries: Unless exposed to extreme freezing or overheating for long periods.
- Recent change = weather: If performance dipped when it got cold, ambient temperature is the likely cause.
✅ What you can do
- Keep it warm: Carry your vape close to your body when outside.
- Avoid cold storage: Don’t leave it in a car or outdoors for long periods.
- Charge indoors: Top up at room temperature for best performance.
- Check battery age: If issues persist even warm, the cell may be aging and need replacement.
