Check your manual. If it lists "Passthru" as one of the mods features then your good to go.

What mod are you using? Like @Foggy Road says, you technically can as long as the manual says it has passthrough charging, but @Txaggiesaunt is right too - it's better not to.

I'd suggest not to. If the mod works correctly it'll stop charging for the duration of the vape, but it may not. In any case, it's undue strain on the battery.

No modern mods have true passthrough vaping. The current provided by usb simply isn't high enough.

Many devices have "vape-while-charging" capabilities, and often refer to this as "passthru" even though it's not. The true test is, does it work off USB power, without a battery in? If no, then it's not true "passthru." While vape-while-charging might technically be possible in a lot of situations, it's not usually recommended if you can avoid it.

I often vape while charging. I believe the way it works is when you press the fire button the mod momentarily disables the charging function until you let off the fire button. I think the consideration would be heat. Both discharging and charging generate heat. Now you have both heat generators going constantly.

Can e-cigarettes help you quit smoking?

Overall, the research on whether e-cigs can help people quit smoking is still “inconclusive,” per the CDC, and the Food and Drug Administration hasn’t approved them as a quitting aid.

Is it safe to smoke e-cigarettes?

She says that E-cigarettes fall somewhere in the middle, as far as overall safety. “A lot of people in the public health sector believe they are safer than tobacco cigarettes,” Middlekauff tells Mic, “but they’re not harmless.”

Is vaping safe?

What’s more, there’s no known safe amount of vaping, and certainly no known threshold for developing the lung illness that has sickened e-cig users, Middlekauff says.

Can you crank up an e-cigarette to a high temperature?

High voltages (5V) have been associated with the formation of more potentially cancer-causing formaldehyde, or formaldehyde-containing compounds, than even tobacco cigarettes generate. If you own one of these devices, “definitely don’t crank it up to a super high temperature ,” Middlekauff says (although she notes that the findings have drawn skepticism among e-cig users, who say that vaping at such high temperatures results in an unpleasant taste ).

Can you buy e-cigs from a reputable brand?

First things first: Buy e-cigs only from recognizable, commercially available brands, which are more likely to manufacture their products responsibly. Using reputable brands may also safeguard against the “shoddy workmanship” Middlekauff suspects to be responsible for the heavy metals detected in vape clouds, as well as battery explosions, which are rare but can cause serious injury. (The FDA offers tips on how to avoid these explosions, such as purchasing vapes with vent holes and other safety features, and not charging them overnight.)

Do you need to test e-cigs for cannabis?

Middlekauff also cautions against using e-cigs that contain cannabis. Since cannabis products don’t fall under FDA regulation, they don’t need to be tested to ensure that their content matches the ingredients on the label. We know so little about what’s in e-cigs — “we know even less about what’s in cannabis products.” Cannabis only adds another layer of uncertainty to vaping.

Can you vape if you are a non smoker?

While the CDC advises non- smokers not to vape, the agency notes that e-cigarettes that contain nicotine “have the potential” to help smokers curb and phase out regular cigarettes. Middlekauff points to a recent clinical trial that randomly assigned smokers to e-cigs plus counseling or traditional nicotine-replacement products (such as gum or patches) plus counseling. A year later, 18% of the smokers who had received e-cigs had quit cigarettes, versus 9.9% of those who had received nicotine-replacement products — but 80% of people in the e-cig group were still vaping, while only 9% of those in the other group were still using nicotine-replacement products. And as the researchers note, the long-term effects of vaping remain unknown.
