You know the drill. You hand over a sleek little vape, they take a few puffs, and by mid-afternoon it's blinking red. Compact CBD vapes often squeeze in smaller batteries to stay pocketable, and that's a trade-off that can ruin a gift. Most have between 350 and 600 mAh. That's fine for a light user, but if your friend vapes regularly, they'll be hunting for a charger by noon.

Before you buy, check the battery specs. If the device has pass-through charging, that helps—they can vape while it charges. But honestly, if the recipient is a heavy user, consider a slightly larger model. It won't be as tiny, but it'll actually get used.
