Taking a cool puff of menthol or icy e-liquid can be an invigorating escape from the scorching heat of August! However, caution is key: e-cigarettes and sunlight are not the best of friends, and without proper care, you might end up with an unpleasant bitter aftertaste, or your battery could fail unexpectedly! In this article, we’ll provide tips to help you maintain the integrity of your favorite e-juices and the functionality of your e-cigarette during the hotter months.

E-Liquids for Electronic Cigarettes and Sunlight: The Risks Involved

E-liquids are made with ingredients commonly found in the food industry. It’s understandable that when temperatures exceed 30°C, the best way to preserve their quality is to treat them as you would any other perishable food item. One crucial detail to remember is that once an e-liquid degrades, its original qualities cannot be restored: if the quality is compromised, discarding it is your only option. Hence, prevention is the best strategy. Always avoid direct exposure to sunlight, regardless of the season. Sun exposure can oxidize the liquid, causing changes in the flavor that can result in an off-putting aftertaste or a complete loss of flavor. Even when stored in the shade, e-liquids should not be subjected to high temperatures, as this could lead to ingredient separation and significantly impact the aroma’s quality.

Moreover, compromised liquids might not vaporize properly, which could harm your e-cigarette’s mechanisms over time.

How to Properly Preserve E-Liquids from Heat

When at home, store your e-liquids in a cool, dry place to avoid exposure to light, heat sources, and any contact with mold or bacteria. While on the go, carrying a small cooler bag to keep your bottles and devices secure is a wise practice. This is especially true for beach days, where the intense sun can drive temperatures to extremes, and the carefree holiday spirit might lead to neglecting prolonged sun exposure of backpacks, bags, and accessories.

Remember to Protect Your Battery from High Temperatures!

The pairing of e-cigarettes and sunlight is problematic for several reasons. Beyond e-juice quality, it’s vital to care for the electronic components of your devices during the warmer months. Keeping them safe from sand and water with waterproof cases might not be enough: high temperatures can affect battery performance, causing it to last significantly less than usual. In more severe cases, heat can lead to the swelling of components, resulting in structural damage to the e-cig.

Once again, the best solution for an enjoyable vaping break is an insulated container that can keep your electronic cigarette cool.
