Author: Modern electronic cigarettes are designed to be maintenance free. However, you can maintain an optimum smoking experience by completing several simple steps. In this part, we are going to focus on how you can easily maintain your e-cigarette batteries. Let’s get started, shall we?
Electronic cigarette batteries are lithium-based, so the first rule of thumb you need to keep in mind is to avoid your batteries run completely dry. This is the worst thing you can do to a lithium-cell battery – especially when done frequently – because it will ruin the cell structure and reduce the battery life quite substantially.
You can charge the batteries anytime you want. When the battery indicator blinks – showing that the current battery is low on power – stop using the electronic cigarette right away and plug the battery in for charging. You can use the spare battery provided with your starter kit while this one is being charged; make sure you keep the spare battery charged and ready for use.
The battery contact is connected directly to the built-in atomizer of each refill cartridge, so some basic cleaning might be necessary as well. Use a rubbing alcohol to clean the contact and clear any accumulated dust and debris from the battery. Blow through the battery to clean the inner tube as well; you get a better flow when the inner tube of your battery is clean, allowing you to enjoy an even better smoking experience in general.
Most electronic cigarette suppliers – especially the reputable ones – now offer a lifetime warranty for every battery they sell. If your existing electronic cigarette batteries stop working – even after these simple maintenance tips is completed – you can always send them back to get replacements. Contact your electronic cigarette supplier regarding how you can get replacement batteries for your vaping device and maximize the lifetime warranty provided to your advantage.

It is important that breastfeeding mothers eat a healthy diet. A breastfeeding mother requires more calories than women who are not nursing. The nutritional needs of women who are breastfeeding can be met by eating a balanced diet and getting as much rest as possible. A woman’s body will make producing breast milk a priority to the detriment of her overall health, so it is critical that she gets all the nutrients she needs.
Breastfeeding women need to take in about 2,500 calories every day. Women who continue to breastfeed their babies beyond three months need to increase their caloric intake to 2,800 daily. Eat more protein while nursing by eating more vegetables and lean meats. Fish should be limited while pregnant and nursing due to concerns about mercury and other pollutants in fish and fish products. The general rule for nursing mothers is that they should consume at least 1 gram of protein for every pound of body weight. Therefore, a breastfeeding woman who weighs 140 pounds should add 140 grams of protein to her diet daily. Women who are breastfeeding their babies need to make sure that they are getting the essential fatty acids that baby needs for healthy brain growth. Nuts, seeds and greens are excellent sources of natural fatty acids.
Instead of eating 2 or 3 large meals daily, breastfeeding mothers should spread their food out over the course of the entire day. Nursing mothers should eat five meals per day that include healthy food choices like vegetables and fruits. A nursing mother should eat breakfast, a morning snack, lunch, an afternoon snack and then a nutritious dinner. Most people do not get enough vitamin B9, or folic acid, in their diets. This is especially true of breastfeeding women. Vitamin B9 is an essential part of a healthy diet. Folic acid is available in foods like cabbage, corn, spinach and asparagus. Wheat and orange juice are also loaded with folic acid and many other vital nutrients like vitamin C.
