Vape Device Temperature Warning: How to Protect Your Cartridges & Disposables
As summer heats up on Cape Cod, it’s more important than ever to store your vape devices safely. Whether you’re using cannabis cartridges or disposable vapes, improper storage—especially in extreme temperatures—can damage your device and pose safety risks.
Why You Should Never Leave Vapes in a Hot Car
It might feel like a mild 80°F outside, but inside your car, temperatures can soar well over 100°F. When left in these conditions, vape devices are at risk of:
Leaking oil from heat expansion
Battery malfunction or sluggish performance
Melting, warping, or—though rare—explosions
Many vape pens and disposables use lithium-ion batteries, just like your laptop or phone. These batteries are sensitive to both high heat and freezing cold, and they should always be stored with care.
Battery Safety Risks from Temperature Extremes
Exposure to high or low temperatures can result in:
Batteries losing efficiency or stopping altogether
Permanent device damage
Safety hazards due to battery failure or overheating
Moisture, such as rain or condensation, can also short-circuit your vape or degrade the battery. Avoid leaving your vape anywhere it’s exposed to water or extreme humidity—like glove compartments, beach bags, or window sills.
Best Practices for Vape Storage
To keep your cannabis vape pens, cartridges, and disposables in top condition:
Store between 14°F and 86°F (ideal range for lithium-ion batteries)
Avoid direct sunlight, especially through glass
Keep devices dry, away from rain, snow, or moisture
Don’t leave them in parked cars, beach bags, or backpacks left in the sun
