E-cigarettes are prone to deformation during storage due to external force squeezing, high-temperature environments, material aging or design flaws, which affects the user experience and the lifespan of the device. Deformation problems are commonly found in components such as the mainframe shell, atomizer, and cartridgers. Comprehensive protection should be carried out from four dimensions: physical protection, environmental control, storage design, and usage habits. The following are the specific solutions:
Anti-deformation structural design
Host protection
Use a host protection case (such as a silicone case or TPU soft shell) to prevent the shell from being scratched or deformed.
Case: A user's e-cigarette main unit was dented when it was squeezed against a key in the backpack because it was not covered with a protective case. The problem was solved after installing a soft case.
Atomizer protection
Store the atomizer separately and avoid mixing it with the main unit or other hard objects to prevent deformation of the glass compartment or metal parts.
Ammunition protection:
Use cigarette cartridges storage boxes (such as plastic boxes with partitions) to prevent the cartridges from leaking oil or deforming under pressure.
1. Temperature management
High-temperature risk
E-cigarette batteries and e-liquid are prone to expansion, deformation or leakage at high temperatures.
Safe temperature range: It is recommended to store at a temperature of 0℃ to 35℃, avoiding direct sunlight or proximity to heat sources (such as radiators or car heating pads).
Low-temperature risk
Extremely low temperatures may cause e-liquid to solidify and battery performance to decline, but they usually do not directly lead to deformation.
Countermeasures: After taking it out from a low-temperature environment, let it stand at room temperature before use.
2. Humidity management
Moisture-proof measures:
Use desiccants (such as silica gel bags) to absorb the moisture inside the storage box to prevent metal parts from rusting or plastic parts from aging and deforming.
Humidity control: It is recommended to store at a humidity of 40% to 60% RH to avoid excessive humidity or dryness.
Moisture-proof tools:
Electronic moisture-proof box (such as camera moisture-proof cabinet), sealed storage box + desiccant.
1. Layered storage solution
Separation of the main unit and accessories
Use multi-compartment storage bags to store the main unit, atomizer, cartridges and charging cables separately to avoid mutual squeezing.
Anti-slip fixation
Lay anti-slip silicone pads or use Velcro straps in the storage box to fix the position of the e-cigarette and prevent it from shaking and deforming.
2. Portable storage tools
Hard-shell portable case
Choose hard-shell boxes with buckles or zippers to prevent deformation under pressure in the backpack.
Magnetic attraction fixation
Some hosts support magnetic charging bases, which can be fixed on the desktop by magnetic force to reduce accidental collisions.
1. Correct storage posture
Avoid long-term squeezing:
Do not keep e-cigarettes in tight trouser pockets, wallet compartments or other places that are prone to pressure for a long time.
Avoid gravitational compression:
Do not place heavy objects (such as books or computers) on the e-cigarette, especially the glass chamber atomizer.
2. Regular inspection and maintenance
Visual inspection:
Check the e-cigarette casing for cracks, deformations or oil leakage every week and deal with them in time.
Cleaning and maintenance
Regularly clean the atomizer interface and the main unit charging port to prevent dust or e-liquid accumulation from causing deformation of the components.
Glass chamber atomizer
Protective measures:
Wrap the glass chamber with a silicone protective case to prevent bumps or squeezing.
Store separately during transportation and avoid contact with hard objects.
Alternative solution:
Choose a metal chamber or a PC material atomizer, which has stronger impact resistance.
2. Aluminum alloy main unit
Anti-scratch and anti-deformation
Avoid storing it together with metal items such as keys and coins to prevent scratches or deformation due to squeezing.
Use the mainframe protective cover or the inner lining of the storage box for buffering.
1. Basic protection plan
Tools: Hard storage box + silicone protective case + desiccant.
Applicable scenarios: Daily household and office use. Low cost and simple operation.
2. Advanced protection plan
Tools: Customized inner lining storage box + moisture-proof box + main unit protective cover.
Applicable scenarios: travel, outdoor activities, high-humidity environments. Comprehensive protection is provided, but additional costs apply.
3. Extreme protection plan
Tools: Pelican pressure-resistant box + shock-proof inner lining + temperature and humidity monitor.
Applicable scenarios: Extreme environments (such as high altitudes and deserts), suitable for professional users or collectible devices.
The core of preventing deformation of electronic cigarettes lies in reducing external force impacts, controlling environmental temperature and humidity, scientific storage and standardized use, which can be achieved through the following measures:
Physical protection: Hard storage box + custom inner lining + protective case.
Environmental control: Temperature 0℃ to 35℃ + humidity 40% to 60% RH + desiccant.
Storage design: Layered storage + anti-slip fixation + magnetic base.
Usage habits: Avoid long-term squeezing + Regularly check and clean.
Direct recommendation plan:
Daily household use: Hard storage box + silicone protective case + desiccant.
Travel items to carry: Pelican pressure-resistant case + shock-resistant inner lining + temperature and humidity monitor.
High-risk scenarios: Customized inner lining storage box + moisture-proof box + main unit protective case.
Through scientific protection, the risk of deformation of electronic cigarettes can be significantly reduced and the service life of the equipment can be prolonged.
