Spring weather can be mild, but that doesn't mean your vape stays safe in a hot car or a sunny windowsill. Heat thins the e-liquid, which can lead to leaks and a harsher throat hit. Worse, extreme heat can cause the battery to expand—a safety risk you don't want to test.

Here's what to do:

• Store your vape in a cool, dry place, like a bag's inner pocket, not your jeans.
• If you're outdoors, keep it in the shade or wrap it in a cloth.
• Don't leave it in a parked car—even on a 70°F day, the inside can heat up fast.
• If you notice the device feeling hot to the touch, let it cool down before using it.

A cool vape not only tastes better but also prevents leaks that waste liquid. It's a simple habit that pays off.
