How To Install, Change & Replace Battery On SMOK Vape Mod

If you have purchased your SMOK vape mod, you will also need to obtain separate batteries to use with the device. ALL SMOK vape mods make use of a 18650 battery, depending on the mod, you may require two or more batteries. When purchasing batteries, you need to ensure that they are genuine and not fake. If they are cheap on eBay, chances are that they are fake and not real, which means poor quality and can also be dangerous to use.

You will also need to ensure the batteries you use with your device are safe to use within the operating limits. All batteries have an amp rating that they are capable of and a mAh rating. A 2500 mAh Samsung 25R battery will have the ability to be vaped on a higher wattage if compared to a 3000 mAh battery LG HG 2. Also, you need to ensure that the 18650 batteries that you use in your device are of the same kind. Mixing batteries is not a good idea as the voltage will differ. Once you have your batteries, you will need to install them into your SMOK e cigarettes vape mod.

1) Depending on the style of your vape mod, the location of where the batteries go will be different. Some SMOK vape mods have a removable back and some have a hatch that you open, which is found at the bottom where the batteries will slide in.

2) There will be markings either inside the back-battery cover or on the outer plastic stating which way the 18650 battery. Use the diagram below to help you identify the positive and negative markings on your vape battery. All mods by SMOK are regulated and contains a safety chip inside, so don't worry if you place the batteries in reverse, your ecig won't blow up it simply won't turn on.

3) Once you have installed your 18650 batteries, using the USB port supplied on the vape mod, attach a USB cable and plug it into the mains. The great thing about SMOK is, you can use the same Samsung charging cable, as it has a mini USB connector. We only recommend charging via a USB port if your vape mod has either a dual or single 18650 battery capacity. If you have more than two batteries you will have to use an external USB charger, as mods don't support USB charging for larger powered device. The port can only be used for firmware upgrades.

Hope this guide has helped setup your new SMOK vape mod. Installing batteries for the first time can sound easy, but you need to get it correct which type of batteries you use. Once you have the correct type of batteries from your local vape shop near me and they have been installed you will be good to go.
