Charging Your MarkTen E-Cig The Right Way

MarkTen e-cig is a very standard e-cig kit that is mostly rated as an average entry-level e-cig kit for beginners. It features a disposable build and looks like the celebrated carcinogenic sticks---something that beginners really love. MarkTen e-cigs are also lightweight and very convenient to carry around. Additionally, it has excellent packaging that resembles those of real tobacco cigarettes, and it is available in a wide range of convenience stores for approximately $10 each.

Generally, MarkTen e-cig isn't really disposable, hence chargeable.   Unlike other e-cigs, MarkTen comes with a 90mAh battery, which is 40mAh lower than the normal kits. Accordingly, to get the most of this great e-cig, you need to understand how to charge it the right way. Here is a quick overview of some tips and suggestions on how to charge MarkTen e-cig properly so as to ultimately extend its lifespan.

Understand your battery charge cycle

It is crucial to keep in mind that the longer an e-cig battery is in use, the lower it tends to perform, especially towards the end of its lifespan. You've probably experienced battery problems with your cell phone, laptop or your digital camera. It's no different for MarkTen e-cig batteries.

Most batteries come with 300-500 charge/discharge cycles. Basically, a cycle is when your battery dies and it is then recharged. This means that every time you plug in your battery to charge, you are using a cycle.

Because most batteries have 300-500 cycles, it is advisable to get used to partial discharges for your e-cig battery. Never allow it to die completely if you can do something about it. Many battery experts recommend letting your battery extremely close to dying only every about 30 cycles.

To be on the safe side, strive to pay attention to your MarkTen e-cig battery the first time you charge it so that you can take note of the duration that it takes to charge as well as how long it can take you. This way, you will have an opportunity to figure out the best times to charge it. You will also get to understand your MarkTen e-cig even better.

Never leave your charging MarkTen e-cig unattended

While often overlooked, this advice is printed in virtually on all e-cig manuals, and this is for a good reason. Things can turn ugly during charging, and if nobody is around to act, they can be worse.  The situation is synonymous with a leaking pipe; it will only cause serious problems if you allow the situation to continue unchecked for a longer duration.

If your MarkTen e-cig battery is overheating, for instance, and you fail to notice, it can progress slowly and eventually explode because the charging system will still be feeding energy into the device. On the contrary, if you are there, and notice that the battery is swelling, you can unplug the charger from the socket and place it somewhere to cool down.

Don't be tempted to charge your battery overnight

Many people tend to believe that the perfect time to recharge their e-cig batteries is at night because it doesn't interfere with their vaping during the day.  However, as highlighted above, it is not advisable to leave your e-cig battery to charge overnight. Additionally, leaving a battery to overcharge overnight leads to overcharging which often cause thermal runaway as well as explosive failure.   When your battery has charged (its LED light will change color), you need to be there to unplug it as soon as possible.

Always store it charged 

Never store your MarkTen e-cig for a long duration when it has less than 50 percent of its power capacity. E-cig batteries that aren't fully charged tend to get drained faster because they work hard to conserve and store the remaining power. Accordingly, when you plan to store your MarkTen e-cig for an extended period, ensure that it is charged fully to minimize such effects.

Conclusion

Your MarkTen e-cig battery can fail but as highlighted, it could be due to not charging it the right way. To be on the safe side, next time you are charging your MarkTen, endeavor to give it some a little love by paying more attention to the charging process. In the event that you encounter any issue with your battery, revisiting the above recommendations will help you detect its cause early and minimize any damages.For more tips on how to use MarkTen e-cigs, click here.
