Your Ooze battery is a key part of your vape setup, and with proper care, you can maximize its performance and longevity. From optimal charging habits to troubleshooting common issues, here’s everything you need to know to keep your rechargeable vape battery running smoothly.
How Long Do Vape Batteries Last?
The lifespan of a vape battery depends on usage, charging cycles, and maintenance.
On average:
- Disposable vapes last a few days to a couple of weeks (depending on puff count).
- Cartridge (cart) batteries generally last 300–500 charge cycles before performance declines.
- Ooze batteries have a lifespan of up to 5 years. Our Warranty Program has more details!
Why Is My Vape Battery Dying So Fast?
If your vape battery isn’t lasting as long as it should, here are a few possible reasons:
- Overcharging or undercharging – Leaving it plugged in too long or not fully charging before using it again can degrade the battery
- Frequent High-Voltage Use – Higher temperatures drain the battery faster.
- Dirt and Residue Buildup – Connection points might need to be cleaned from time to time to ensure efficient power flow.
- Old Battery – After hundreds of charge cycles, performance naturally declines.
How Do I Know If My Vape Battery Is Donezo?
Signs that your battery is dead or needs replacing include:
- No light or power when attempting to turn on the battery (clicking the button 5x). A battery that needs to be charged will still flash.
- Weak or inconsistent hits, even with a full charge.
- Battery won’t hold a charge or dies quickly after charging.
If your battery isn’t working, try charging it fully, cleaning the connections, or switching carts before replacing it.
How to Make Your Vape Battery Last Longer
1. Charge Properly
- Always use the correct charger for your Ooze battery: the smart charger included with our vape batteries. Other USB chargers can easily overcharge your battery, weakening the cells inside over time. This is because other chargers continue to charge the battery, even when the charge is full. If you charge your pen overnight like most, you can easily degrade your battery in just a few months. The Smart Charger automatically stops supplying energy to the battery as soon as it’s fully charged.
- If you’re not using the smart charger, unplug once it’s fully charged—overcharging can shorten its lifespan.
- Avoid letting the battery drain completely before recharging.
2. Store It Correctly
- Keep your vape battery in a cool, dry place.
- Avoid extreme heat or cold, as both can damage battery cells.
- Store it upright to prevent oil leaks and connection issues.
3. Clean Regularly
- Use a cotton swab with isopropyl alcohol to clean the battery connection.
- We highly recommend our pre-soaked Ooze Resolution Micro Swabs! You get 100 individually wrapped swabs to stash in your desk, bag, or anywhere.
- Remove dust and debris to maintain a strong connection with your cart.
4. Use the Right Voltage Settings
- Lower voltage settings (if adjustable) help preserve battery life.
- Higher voltage drains the battery faster and can burn out cartridges quicker.
5. Take Breaks Between Hits
- Chain-vaping overheats the battery and drains it faster.
- Letting your battery rest between puffs keeps it from overworking.
- Turn your battery off between sessions. It’s actually a myth that this will drain the battery. The opposite is true! Making sure your battery is fully resting during the hours between hits will improve your overall battery life between charges.
By following these care tips, you can extend the life of your Ooze battery and keep your vape sessions smooth and hassle-free. Proper maintenance, smart charging habits, and regular cleaning all contribute to a longer-lasting vape battery.
