What does an external battery charger do?

This is by far one of the most asked questions and for every person will vary based on the type of liquid you use, what type of vaper you and and how often you use your device. However there are some key signs that it’s time to change your coil or pod!
Taste
One of the easiest ways to tell it’s time to change your coil will be by taste. If you start noticing a muted or burnt taste it’s time to change your coil. Often it will taste like burnt cotton (think of the taste of a burnt marshmallow) and smell burnt as well.
Spit-back
As the cotton in your coil or pod starts to burn out you may notice more spit-back. This happens because there is less cotton to absorb your e-liquid causing it to flood the coil meaning you end up with liquid in your mouth.
Appearance
Take a look at your coil or pod! Is the visible cotton turning brown or black? Furthermore, if you notice your clear or relatively clear liquid looking darker this is a sign of a burnt coil.
Time
Most coils or pods will last an average of seven to twelve days, sometimes two to three weeks with light usage. As a rule of thumb, it's best to make sure you change your coil after a month as over time dust and debris can get into your coil.
Conclusion
No two people have the same vaping style so there isn't a one fits all answer to the question of when to change your coil or pod, but by knowing the right signs you’ll be able to make an informed decision when it’s time to change your coil or pod!
]]>What is variable wattage?
First things first, what exactly is variable wattage? To put it simply, a device with variable wattage will allow you to control the power in the device and allow you to control how hot the vapour is and how much vapour it produces.
Why use variable wattage?
Variable wattage allows you to customize your vaping experience to best suit you and your tastes! Variable wattage also means you have more of a range of coils and tanks you can use with your device.
Is variable wattage safe?
Most devices on the market with variable wattage contain chip sets that make sure that your vaping experience is a safe one. Everything we sell at Ontario Vape features a max wattage and many of the devices are even able to read different coils so it will automatically put you in the best rated range for your coil. With these devices even if you put your device at the highest wattage it will go, the worst that will happen is you will get a dry hit and burn your coil.
What devices have variable wattage?
Most box mods will have variable wattage as well as some pod mod systems and a few pod systems. Typically wattage will be controlled with one or two buttons on the device. These devices will also feature a screen to show you what your wattage is at. These screens will often also show your battery status and a puff counter to allow you to track your usage.
What wattage should I set my device at?
Everyone has different preferences on wattage. A good starting point is to look at what your coil or pod is rated at. This is typically found directly on the coil or pod or on the box of your coils or pods. You can also find this info out by using google and looking for the rating for your coil or pod.
Most often your rating will look something like “40W - 60W”, this means your coil or pod is rated best for use at forty to sixty watts. When testing out what feels good we always recommend to start low and bring it up slowly so you can find your perfect fit!
Conclusion
Variable wattage is a great tool for you to customize your vaping experience. When used with a mod or a pod/tank with a range of coils it’s also a great option to allow you to try a wider range of coils/tanks to find your perfect fit!

]]>What are 18650 Batteries?
18650 cells are commonly used with external battery devices, they are rechargeable lithium ion batteries. These types of batteries can be found in all sorts of electronic devices, from phones to cameras and in this instance - external battery vaporizers like single and dual battery mods.
How Do You Know It’s Not a Fake Battery?
Yes, the same way people sell fake sneakers and purses, people sell fake batteries. It’s not uncommon for people to buy cheap batteries and re-wrap them to look like official batteries and sell them on places like Amazon and Ebay.
These batteries are going to underperform and cause a risk to your safety. Batteries have different voltage outputs, different numbers of cells and different ratings. This means that one of these knock off batteries could ruin your device and pose a fire hazard if the battery isn't suited for the power that the device is running.
So how do you know you’re getting an authentic battery? One of the easiest ways to make sure you’re getting an authentic product is to go through a trusted retailer - even if you might see what you think is the same thing on Amazon for a few bucks less.
What is Proper Battery Safety?
Just like any other kind of device that produces electricity, there are certain precautions you should take to protect yourself and to help keep your batteries performing the best they can for as long as they can.
Never use a battery that’s damaged in any way - like a dented battery or a torn wrap.
This poses a safety risk to you and can also damage your device. If your battery is damaged, dispose of it by bringing it somewhere that you can dispose of electronics or give your local vape shop a call and see if they can dispose of batteries.
If you use a dual battery mod, make sure to marry your batteries.
This means that you always use the same pair of batteries at the same time, and charge them at the same time - they are never to be used or charged apart. This ensures that you aren't putting too much strain on one of your batteries and helps them last longer.
The best way to charge your batteries is through an external battery charger.
Although many devices have the ability to charge your batteries with a cord like you would an internal battery device, this can cause your batteries to not fully charge and strain your batteries causing them to die out sooner. Furthermore, if you use a proper external battery charger you can avoid over charging your batteries to help them last longer.
Never carry loose batteries in your pockets - always use a battery case.
One of the biggest pros of external battery devices is being able to swap out your dead batteries with fully charged ones instantly. That being said, if you’re going anywhere with your batteries or storing them you’re going to want to use a silicone or plastic battery case. This helps prevent the batteries from connecting and posing a fire risk and makes sure your battery doesn't get dented and the wraps don't get damaged.
Conclusion
There are so many pros to using an external battery device, but it’s important to protect your investment! By using proper battery safety and understanding how to take care of 18650 batteries you’ll be able to extend the life of your device and have a trouble free vaping journey!

First and foremost - what is an open pod system?
To put it simply, open pod systems are compact refillable devices that use a pod instead of the traditional tank atomizer. Instead of changing coils like you would in a traditional tank, pods have a built in coil. This means that when your pod burns out you replace the whole pod instead of just the coil. This makes pod systems a lower maintenance system and are often a good option for beginning your journey to quit smoking.
Most frequently people use something called salt nicotine inside of pod systems. Salt nicotine replicates the throat hit of traditional cigarettes while maintaining a strong flavour and giving an all around satisfying hit. Nicotine salt is used at a lower wattage and typically in smaller devices - like open pod systems.
Why would you use a pod system?
Pod systems offer a good entry way into transitioning from smoking to vaping. By offering a lower maintenance option and prices ranging from $35 - $60 on average, open pod systems are a lower investment giving people the option to start their vaping journey without breaking the bank or having to learn something that they may find confusing or difficult to get the hang of.
