Health & Safety Warning

At Vape Superstore, we are committed to providing our customers with clear and accurate information about the products we sell. As per UK law and the Tobacco Products Directive (TPD), we are required to inform our customers about the health risks associated with nicotine use and to ensure full transparency. Please read the following health and safety guidelines carefully.

Health Warning:

Nicotine is a highly addictive substance. When using nicotine products, including e-liquids, vape pens, and heated tobacco, please be aware that nicotine can cause addiction, and prolonged exposure can have various health implications. Nicotine is known to affect the cardiovascular system and can lead to increased heart rate and blood pressure.

Important Safety Information:

  • Age Restrictions: Nicotine-containing products are intended for use by adults aged 18 and over. By purchasing, you confirm that you meet the legal age requirements for your region.
  • Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Nicotine use during pregnancy can harm the fetus, potentially causing premature birth, low birth weight, or developmental issues. It is strongly advised to avoid nicotine products during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
  • Health Conditions: Individuals with heart conditions, respiratory problems, or high blood pressure should consult with a healthcare professional before using nicotine products. Nicotine can increase the risk of certain health conditions.
  • Children and Pets: Nicotine-containing products should be kept out of reach of children and pets. Accidental ingestion or exposure can be harmful or fatal, even in small quantities. Ensure that e-liquids are stored securely and safely.
  • Handling and Storage: Vape products and e-liquids should be handled with care. Always store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, heat sources, or open flames. Ensure the product’s cap is securely fastened after use to prevent leakage or accidental exposure.
  • Product Labeling: All products sold at Vape Superstore include a nicotine warning. Please check the packaging for specific health warnings, including information on nicotine content and potential health risks.
  • Hazardous Ingredients: We ensure that no products we sell contain any banned or restricted ingredients. For example, our e-liquids are diacetyl-free and do not contain harmful chemicals like caffeine or taurine.

Accidental Exposure:

Nicotine can be toxic if ingested in large quantities. If nicotine-containing products are ingested accidentally, particularly by children or pets, seek immediate medical attention. Symptoms of nicotine poisoning may include nausea, vomiting, dizziness, or even seizures.

Nicotine and Vaping Products Compliance:

Vape Superstore fully complies with the regulations of the Tobacco Products Directive (TPD) and other relevant legislation in the UK. This includes ensuring that all products sold meet the required safety and labeling standards:

  • Nicotine Strength: All e-liquids sold at Vape Superstore comply with the TPD limit of 20mg/ml of nicotine.
  • Tank Size: E-cigarette tanks, including pod systems and disposable vapes, are all under the 2ml capacity limit.

Battery Safety

At Vape Superstore, we prioritise the safety of our customers. When handling products containing batteries, such as e-cigarettes and other vaping devices, it’s essential to follow specific guidelines to ensure their safe use. Improper handling or charging of lithium-ion batteries (such as 18650 batteries) can lead to serious risks, including fire, explosion, or damage to the device.

General Battery Safety Tips:

  • Always use the correct charger: Only use the charging cable and adapter specifically designed for your device. Never use third-party chargers, as they may not be compatible and can cause safety issues.
  • Do not overcharge: Avoid charging your device for extended periods. Once fully charged, unplug your device to prevent overcharging, which can reduce battery life and pose safety risks.
  • Battery storage: Store your spare batteries in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Never store loose batteries in pockets or bags where they can come into contact with metal objects like coins or keys.
  • Transporting batteries: If you're travelling with spare batteries (e.g., 18650 batteries), always store them in a protective case designed for battery storage. Never carry loose batteries in pockets or unprotected bags to prevent accidental short-circuiting.
  • Inspect batteries regularly: Always check batteries for signs of damage, such as dents, scratches, or leaks. If you notice any damage, discontinue use immediately and replace the battery.
  • Proper disposal: Never throw batteries in the trash. Dispose of used or damaged batteries responsibly at a recycling center or follow local laws for safe disposal.

Safety Warnings for Internal Batteries:

  • Do not expose to extreme temperatures: Avoid leaving your device in hot or cold environments (e.g., in a car on a hot day or in freezing temperatures). Extreme temperatures can affect battery performance and safety.
  • Avoid dropping or damaging the device: If your device or battery is dropped or damaged, check for any visible signs of leakage or bulging. If you notice any, do not use the device and replace the battery immediately.
  • Ensure proper ventilation: While charging, ensure the device is placed in an area with adequate ventilation to avoid heat buildup.

By following these safety guidelines, you can ensure the longevity of your device and battery while minimising the risks associated with lithium-ion batteries. For more information on battery safety, please refer to your device’s manual or contact our customer support team.
