How to Charge Your Vape at a Festival

Charging options can vary:

• Phone charging lockers: common at large festivals, bring your cable.
• Solar chargers or power banks: ideal for camping festivals.
• Designated recharge stations: some festivals (like Glastonbury) offer free power points.

Pro Tip: Use low-wattage, energy-efficient devices like pod systems to extend battery life.

What Type of Vape Should I Take? Convenience, Duration & Transport

• Pod systems (e.g., IVG 2400 ): Lightweight, easy to refill, discreet, and quick to recharge. Perfect for all-day use.
• Stealth vapes: Produce less vapour, ideal for crowded areas or indoors where allowed.
• High-capacity mods: Longer battery life but bulkier, good for multi-day camping but less convenient.
• Avoid disposables due to bans and environmental impact.

Environmental Impact & Sustainability of Vaping at Festivals

Disposable vapes create a significant environmental challenge at festivals. In 2024, an estimated 260 million disposable vapes were discarded in the UK alone, contributing to litter and plastic waste that is difficult to recycle.

Many festivals have responded by banning or discouraging disposables, encouraging the use of refillable and rechargeable pod systems instead. These devices reduce waste, last longer, and can be recharged multiple times, making them a more sustainable choice for festival-goers.

By choosing reusable vape devices, you’re helping keep festival grounds cleaner and supporting a greener environment. For more tips on responsible vaping while travelling, check out our Vaping on Holiday guide .

Vaping and Festival Health & Safety

Festivals can be physically demanding, with long hours spent outdoors. To enjoy vaping safely:

• Stay hydrated. Vaping can sometimes cause mild dehydration, especially when combined with alcohol or warm weather. Drink plenty of water throughout the day.
• Protect your device from the weather. Rain, dust, and heat can damage your vape. Use waterproof cases or sealable bags to keep your device safe.
• Store batteries carefully. Avoid leaving your vape in direct sunlight or inside hot tents for extended periods to prevent battery issues.
• Be mindful of others. Use your vape in designated or outdoor areas and avoid vaping near flammable materials.

Following these tips helps ensure your health and safety while enjoying the festival atmosphere.

Festival Vape Mishaps & How to Avoid Them

Even the best-prepared festival-goers can face vape troubles. Here’s how to stay ahead:
