Cold Weather Can Affect Vape Batteries ❄️
Low temperatures reduce how effectively lithium‑ion batteries deliver power, so your device may feel like it drains faster. This effect is temporary and improves once the battery returns to room temperature.
🔋 Why Batteries Drain Faster in the Cold
- Lithium‑ion chemistry: Cold temperatures slow ion movement, reducing power output.
- Voltage drop: Increased resistance causes quicker voltage sag even when fully charged.
- Temporary capacity loss: Performance returns as the battery warms back up.
📦 Shipping & Cold Weather
- Shipping rarely harms batteries: Only extreme freezing or overheating for long periods can cause issues.
- Sudden performance drop? If it coincided with cold weather, temperature is the likely cause.
✅ What You Can Do
- Keep it warm: Carry your vape close to your body when outdoors.
- Avoid cold storage: Don’t leave your device in a car or outside.
- Charge indoors: Charge at room temperature for best results.
- Check battery age: If issues continue even when warm, the battery may be aging.
