Embracing The Winter Vaping Outdoors

Once we enter the
winter season, we have to make certain lifestyle adjustments in order to deal
with the cold weather. We have to take extra care to keep our immune systems
healthy, our skin hydrated and our bodies warm.

Believe it or not, our vaping lifestyle has to
change as well. Cold, dry weather can affect everything from our batteries to
our cloud production. The good news is that wintertime vaping doesn't require
us to run out and purchase a whole new setup. There are some simple tips that
you can follow to get the most out of those wintertime vape sessions.

Your stash of e-juice
needs to be cared for properly during the chilly winter months. Because it contains
propylene glycol (PG) and vegetable glycerin (VG), two alcohol-based
ingredients, it won't freeze into a solid mass if left outside overnight.
However, its consistency may change enough to interfere with your ability to
have an enjoyable vape.

When e-liquid is exposed to freezing
temperatures, it becomes thicker. This makes it harder for your coil to turn
this liquid into puffy, tasty clouds. Plus, thicker uice is more likely to gunk
up your coils. During the winter season, keep your bottles of juice in a warm
place indoors.

Wintertime Vaping Tip #2: Keep Your Batteries
Warm

Your vape batteries
also need to be kept warm during the winter months. Batteries in general
consist of electrons that power your device. Your battery uses a good deal of
energy in order to get those electrons moving. When a battery is cold, the
electrons become lethargic. Therefore, it must use more energy to power your
unit.

The problem is that using more energy results in
a compromised battery life. If frequently exposed to cold air, its capacity may
decrease dramatically. Never leave your batteries outdoors during the winter
season.

Wintertime Vaping Tip #3: Keep Your Lips
Extra Moisturized

Most drip tip
materials are prone to becoming cold when exposed to chilly air. If you're
constantly vaping outdoors during the winter season, you're gonna be pressing
your lips against a very cold material frequently. As a result, your lips can
become dry, cracked and chapped.

If you vape outdoors during the winter, make
sure that you keep your lips extra moisturized with a nourishing lip balm
throughout the day.

Because e-liquids
become slightly thicker during the winter season, you might find that your
throat hit is lacking. If a strong hit to the throat is what you crave when you
vape, choose liquids that have more PG during this time of year.

Thicker juice means denser, larger clouds. While
many vapers consider that a good thing, not everyone wants to blow massive fog
all day long. If you want to tone down that vapor, choose an e-liquid that has
a lower VG level. VG is a viscous ingredient that makes juice thicker,
increasing cloud production as a result.

Don’t Let the Cold Weather Stop You From
Vaping

By following these quick and easy tips, your
vaping life won't suffer just because of the fact that it's cold outside.
