Vape Care and Disposal in Australia
If you're shopping with us online in Australia, taking care of your vape and knowing how to dispose of it properly is part of responsible use. The essentials cover storing, charging, and what to do when your device is finished.
Storing a device
Keep your device away from heat, direct sunlight, water, children, and pets. A cool, dry spot out of reach is best. Avoid leaving it in a hot car or on a sunny windowsill, as extreme temperatures can affect performance.
Charging and everyday use
Some listings describe the device as rechargeable or mention a USB charging port. If yours is rechargeable, charge it through that port with a suitable cable. Once it's charged, unplug it. Stop using the device if it gets hot, leaks, or is damaged—these are signs to replace it.
When a device is finished
A disposable vape arrives pre-filled and ready to use. You use it until it runs out, and you don't refill it. Remember that a vape contains a lithium battery, so do not open, puncture, crush, or take one apart.
Disposing of a used vape
Do not put a used vape in a household rubbish or recycling bin. Its lithium battery can be crushed in a bin or collection truck and start a fire.
Take finished devices to a household chemical, e-waste or battery drop-off service that accepts vapes; your local council can tell you which one does.
