The pre-filled 510 vape cartridge is almost like the universal currency of vaping. A 510 cartridge will fit on just about any vaping device, and manufacturers use 510 cartridges for every type of liquid that you can vape. You can find them filled with e-liquid for nicotine vaping. You can find them filled with CBD vape juice. If you happen to live in a place where cannabis is fully legalized, you can even find pre-filled THC vape cartridges – and virtually every pre-filled vape cartridge on the market uses 510 threading.

If you want to use 510 vape cartridges, you need a 510-thread battery – and if you want to have a good experience, you need to choose the best 510-thread battery for your needs. There are many cheap and low-quality 510 batteries on the market, and you don’t want to end up with something that’s cheap and generic.

So, how do you buy a 510-thread vape battery if you’re new to vaping and aren’t sure what would be best? With these tips, I’m going to make the process extremely easy for you.

Buy From a Vape Shop, Not a Convenience Store

The most important thing to know about shopping for any type of vape gear is that you’re probably not going to have the best possible experience if you buy your gear from a convenience store, supermarket or gas station. If you buy a generic 510-thread battery in a blister pack from a convenience store, you’re going to end up with something that provides subpar performance. It’ll probably lack anything but the most basic safety features, and it probably won’t include any kind of warranty or return policy.

If you want to buy a 510-thread battery that really works, you need to buy it from a real vape shop. You want to get a brand-name product that’ll perform reliably. Getting your battery from a vape shop is the way to do that.

Consider Buying a Full Vape Pen Kit

One important thing to know about buying a 510-thread battery is that it’s not common for companies to sell batteries of that type on their own. It’s far more popular to sell 510-thread batteries as full vape pen kits that also include tanks and replacement coils. Even if you’re only planning to use pre-filled cartridges and don’t intend to ever use a refillable vape tank, it still might be worth your while to buy a full vape pen kit instead of a bare battery because a vape pen kit is likely to include a battery with more modern features. A bare battery, on the other hand, might be a product that’s outdated and underpowered.

Another thing to consider is that, even though your current preference is to use pre-filled 510 vape tanks, you might decide in the future that you’d rather use bottled e-liquid. Compared to pre-filled cartridges, bottled e-liquid costs less and makes it possible for you to use a much greater variety of flavors. If you decide that you’d like to make the jump from pre-filled cartridges to bottled e-liquid, you’ll be glad that you bought a full vape pen kit instead of a bare battery because you’ll already have a tank that you know will work with your vaping device.

Buy a 510-Thread Battery With a Manual Fire Button

One of the most important things to know about shopping for a 510-thread battery is that a vaping device has two different activation methods: automatic and manual. If a battery has automatic firing, it’ll detect the airflow when you puff on the cartridge and generate vapor automatically. With a battery that has a manual fire button, on the other hand, you’ll hold the button to vape.

On the surface, a vape battery with automatic firing probably sounds like it would be more fun to use than a battery with a fire button. However, automatic batteries have two potential shortcomings that you should consider. The first shortcoming is that it takes a moment for an automatic battery to detect the airflow and begin producing vapor. With a manual battery, on the other hand, you can hold the button before you start inhaling. A manual battery will always produce bigger and more satisfying clouds.

The second potential shortcoming of an automatic battery is that it may not work well with all of the 510 vape cartridges that you’ll want to use. If a cartridge’s air intake vent isn’t positioned where the battery’s sensor will detect the incoming airflow, that cartridge won’t work with an automatic battery. Even if you don’t care about the fact that you’ll get bigger clouds with a manual battery, it’s still wise to choose a 510-thread battery with manual firing because it’ll prevent potential compatibility issues. If you’re certain that you’d rather use the automatic firing option, then you should at least choose a battery offering both automatic and manual firing.

Buy a 510-Thread Battery With the Correct Output Power

Even more than the automatic vs. manual firing type, the biggest thing that determines whether a 510-thread battery will work with a wide variety of cartridges is its power output. You can find 510 vape batteries with four types of power output.

• The battery can have an adjustable power level and will allow you to change the voltage or wattage by turning a dial or pressing a button.
• The battery can use direct voltage output and will operate within a range of about 3.5-4.2 volts depending on the battery’s charge level.
• The battery can be regulated to operate at 4.2 volts for the full charge.
• The battery can be regulated to operate at 3.7 volts for the full charge.

If you’re new to vaping, you might be tempted to buy a battery that operates at a higher power level because higher power means bigger vapor clouds. If you want your battery to be compatible with the widest possible range of 510 vape cartridges, though, you’re going to have a better experience with a battery that either offers variable power or is regulated to operate at a constant 3.7 volts. That’s because most pre-filled vape cartridges are designed to work best at lower power levels and may produce a burned flavor if the operational power of your battery is too high.
