Vaping batteries power the device. There are tons of different styles from disposables, to recharegeable cig-a-likes, to mods. They come in all different sizes, shapes, and colors, with varying wattage and voltage. There are manual and automatic versions. There is only one dual mode battery which allows the user to switch between auto and manual with the click of a button. This is the Vapor Zeus by Vapor4Life. This article helps you learn a bit more about e-cig batteries, so you can find the best vaping batteries to suit your needs.
The metal part of the battery that screws onto a cartomizer is called the threading or connector piece. The most popular type of threading are the 510 and 808 styles. There were more than 10 types of connections when ecigarettes were first developed. People who make “mods” (modified ecigs) drove the 510 connections popularity. It was preferred because of its durability when dropped compared to that of the 808. 808-threaded connections are male and the vaping battery screws into the cartomizer. They have a high amount og airflow (due to different placement of air holes), have a loose draw, and produce a lot vapor. 510-threaded battery connections are female and the vaping cartomizer screws onto the battery. They have a stiffer draw than 808 vaping batteries, and are more popular than other types of threading in the vaping world.
Disposables
This is a one-time-use electronic cigarette. Depending on the brand, they may last a couple hours up to a couple days. This is a great option for people who aren’t entirely sure vaping is right for them or who want to try it out without spending a lot of money. They most closely resemble a real “analog” cigarette. Disposables have come a long way from their beginnings and there are a lot of choices out there. These are fairly inexpensive and a great way to get the feeling of vaping.
Rechargeable Batteries
These can be used hundreds of times. Once the vaping battery is depleted, you can recharge it with a wall adapter or USB port (depending on the type). There are lots of different rechargeable batteries, in all different sizes, from ones the same size as traditional cigarettes to really big ones the size of your hand or even bigger! If you want to go the rechargeable route, I’d recommend this type of vaping battery because they are easy to use and don’t require a large learning curve. You just attach a pre-filled cartomizer and can begin using it. When the battery dies, just charge it up and you’re ready to go again.
“Cig-a-like” Batteries
These most closely resemble the real thing. They are slim and lightweight. These come in all different colors, different sizes, and different textures. These ecig batteries attach to the cartridge which contains the vaping e-liquid (the flavoring and nicotine).
eGo Batteries
One of the most popular and best vaping battery models is the eGo. It was first manufactured by a company named Joye, and has been reproduced by many manufacturers. They’re affordable and provide long battery life. eGos are typically 650-1000mAh batteries. Many vapers like them because they are much larger than a stick battery, and people don’t confuse it for a traditional cigarette. The name eGo refers to the original style, which used a large cartomizer as the refillable. There are many versions of this including:
- eGo-T: the first vaping battery to use a tank
- eGo-C: The “C” stands for “changeable”, and the tank atomizer heads can be changed without disposing the whole atomizer body.
- eGo-W – a windowed metal cylinder that snaps over the vaping cartomizer for protection.
- Riva
- VGO: Basic eGo kit offered with an atomizer or 5 cartomizer.
- kGo: Basic eGo kit that uses a standard 510 atomizer and cartridges.
- Inferno. Many people start using this type of battery. Some stick with this one, others move on to bigger batteries, or mechanical mods.
