Vaping is becoming a popular hobby lately for the right reasons. Vaping is not only convenient, but also very enjoyable at the same time. In recent years, vaping has been attracting a lot of enthusiasts from around the world, including moms and dads looking for a relaxing hobby they can do around the house.

One of the things you need to master as a vaping enthusiast is the etiquette; with vaping growing at its current rate, being a good vaper is even more important. There are also children and pets in the house, so taking extra steps and knowing what to do when vaping in the house is important. These next several tips and tricks will help you enjoy the thrills of vaping in the house better.

Time It Correctly

Vaping in the house gives you the most privacy and comfort. You are free to choose where in the house you want to vape. The vapour produced by your atomisers will not stain your walls and furniture, plus you don’t have to worry about bad odour and other issues as a vaping enthusiast.

That said, you still need to understand WHEN to vape, especially when you have children and pets in the house. You want to vape when you know you can keep the room unoccupied afterwards to give the vapor a chance to fully escape the room.

Alternatively, you can open the windows to let the room air better. Good air circulation helps eliminate excess vapour much faster and there will be no residue left once the vapour is all gone. The same tip can be used when you have guests coming over.

Keep Away from Children

Modern mods are now equipped with extra safety features. When you look at mods in the catalogue of your favourite ecig store, you will notice that the newer mods can be locked or turned off completely and they require a special combination of buttons to reactivate.

The safety features are there to prevent accidental vaping, but that doesn’t mean they are enough when you are vaping in the house. You still need to keep your kit away from your children. You are simply preventing them from accidentally using your devices.

Liquids and other items in your vaping kit must also be stored away from the kids. Set aside a drawer (one that can be locked) or a high cabinet for storing your vaping-related items. You are not just keeping your gear away from children, but also keeping the gear itself safe and organised.

Know the Safety Rules

There are some safety habits to get into if you are a vaping enthusiast. A lot of enthusiasts find the common safety habits to be good to follow; the same set of habits is a good starting point for you too. You can start by picking up a dedicated battery charger from stores like greyhaze.co.uk. Instead of using your mods for charging, dedicated battery chargers are considered safer.

Remove the batteries from your mods when they are not in use. Get used to emptying your mods at night too. I know it is a tedious routine to get through, but you are eliminating unnecessary risks by removing the batteries from your mods at night.

Many vape liquid bottles, including the popular Fat Gorilla bottle, are already child-proof, but some vape juice brands still use older bottles. You want to switch to a child-proof bottle for your main liquid. Make sure you store your liquids in a dry place.

Lastly, check the atomisers for leaks and other potential issues regularly. Ideally, you want to empty your RTAs when they are not in use. The same can be said for RDAs; it is better to re-wick your RDAs than to keep a damp wick inside for an extended period.

Know What to Do

Despite taking the necessary safety steps, things can still go wrong at times. You may end up with a leaking atomiser and vape juice getting to the inside of the mod. You may even have your pets’ teeth punching a hole through your vape juice bottle because they think the colourful bottle is a toy.

When these things happen, be sure to know what to do. When vape juice gets to the skin of your children or pet – or worse, in their mouth – seek immediate help. While doing so, keep an eye out for signs of nicotine poisoning, such as a higher pulse and vomiting.

Keep a cleaning set nearby. The set should include a microfibre cloth and rubbing alcohol. When liquid gets to your mods, remove the batteries immediately and clean the mod thoroughly. Make sure the contacts are properly cleaned and that the mod is completely dry before you use it again.
